Amanda Holden brought some fairytale magic to Leicester Square on Monday night as she attended the Wicked: For Good premiere in London, channeling Glinda the Good Witch in a breathtaking pale pink gown.
The Heart FM presenter, 54, turned heads on the yellow brick road–themed carpet as she posed with her 13-year-old daughter Hollie Hughes.
The glamorous presenter looked radiant in a ruched pink dress featuring a daring thigh-high split and a sweeping train that showcased her toned legs and signature tan.
Completing her ethereal look, Amanda opted for soft waves, glowing makeup, and a touch of sparkle that perfectly captured the spirit of the beloved Wicked universe.
Her daughter Hollie, meanwhile, took a creative twist on the theme by channeling Elphaba — the Wicked Witch of the West — in a beautiful satin green dress paired with matching heels.
The stylish mother-daughter duo walked the carpet at Cineworld Leicester Square, joining Hollywood stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who lead the film as Glinda and Elphaba.
The upcoming movie, set for release on November 21, serves as the highly anticipated conclusion to the Wicked saga — a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz told through the friendship and rivalry of two iconic witches. Based on the long-running Broadway musical that premiered in 2003, the film promises a magical blend of music, emotion, and spectacle.
In a recent interview, Amanda Holden shared that despite her decades-long career on British television and radio, her daughters remain unimpressed by her fame. The Britain’s Got Talent judge revealed that both Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, prefer to keep a low profile and have little interest in the entertainment world.
Speaking to The Sun, Amanda explained that she has always encouraged her children to stay grounded, saying:
“You do have to develop a thick skin, and they both know that mummy has one. We take everything with a pinch of salt in our house, and I hope they’ve learned that from me.”
Her eldest daughter Lexi has already signed with top modeling agency Storm Models, but Amanda admitted that Hollie is less keen on the spotlight — to the point of avoiding being seen with her famous mum.
“I picked Hollie up from school the other day, and she does not want any connection with me,” Amanda said, laughing. “I got out of the car, she saw me, and literally crossed the road!”
Her husband, music producer Chris Hughes, tried to lighten the moment by calling out, telling Hollie she should be proud of her mum. Amanda said Hollie simply rolled her eyes, telling her to “get back in the car,” proving that even the most glamorous celebrities deal with typical teenage moments.
The Wicked: For Good premiere attracted a star-studded crowd, with fans eager to see the final chapter of the beloved story. The latest trailer teases Elphaba’s fight for freedom and the truth behind the Wizard of Oz, played by Jeff Goldblum.
In a powerful moment, Elphaba writes “Our Wizard lies” in the clouds above Oz — setting the stage for an epic finale.
Meanwhile, Glinda has become a symbol of light and goodness, preparing to marry Prince Fiyero (played by Jonathan Bailey) as she rules from her dazzling Emerald City palace.
Amanda’s appearance at the premiere was the perfect nod to Glinda’s timeless glamour, and her joyful outing with daughter Hollie proved that even with fame and fortune, she remains grounded in family and fun.
The film Wicked: For Good opens in UK cinemas on November 21, bringing audiences back to Oz for one final enchanting adventure.
