Amanda Holden brought a touch of Oz-inspired glamour to London on Monday evening as she stepped onto the yellow-brick-road themed carpet for the Wicked: For Good premiere.

The 54-year-old Heart FM presenter turned heads with a look clearly inspired by Glinda the Good Witch, choosing a pale pink gown that perfectly captured the spirit of the beloved character.

The premiere, held at Cineworld in Leicester Square, welcomed some of the biggest stars associated with the franchise — including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo — as excitement builds for the upcoming film’s release on November 21.

Holden, however, created her own moment at the event as she proudly posed with her 13-year-old daughter, Hollie.

Amanda’s gown featured ruched detailing, a dramatic sweeping train and a daring thigh-high split that highlighted her tanned legs.

The ethereal pink shade and flowing fabric created a regal, almost fairytale-like silhouette that echoed Glinda’s iconic aesthetic while still remaining fashion-forward.

Hollie, meanwhile, opted for a look inspired by Elphaba, sporting a striking satin green dress paired with matching heels — a playful contrast to her mother’s outfit that paid homage to the film’s central characters.

The mother-daughter duo’s coordinated theme immediately drew attention and made them one of the most photographed pairs on the carpet.

The event marked a more public moment between Amanda and her youngest daughter, particularly notable given Amanda’s recent admission that Hollie prefers to maintain her own space away from the spotlight.

Speaking last month, Amanda revealed that Hollie often avoids being seen with her — especially near school — because she wants “no connection” to her mother’s fame.

Despite Amanda being one of the most recognisable faces on British television, both Hollie and her older sister Lexi, 19, reportedly stay grounded and remain largely uninterested in celebrity culture.

Amanda has previously shared that she and husband Chris Hughes have raised their daughters with a “thick skin” and a realistic understanding of showbusiness.

The TV star added that while Lexi has already embarked on a modelling career after signing with top agency Storm, Hollie has no interest in pursuing fame.

Amanda humorously recalled a recent moment at the school pickup where Hollie crossed the road to avoid being seen with her. Chris, attempting to lighten the mood, called out that she should be proud of her mum — but the teenager remained determined to keep things low-key.

The highly anticipated Wicked: For Good is set to conclude the story of the two legendary witches of Oz, following the success of the first film.

The final trailer, released ahead of the premiere, teased the aftermath of Elphaba’s escape as she continues her fight for justice while isolated in exile.

In one striking scene, Elphaba writes a defiant message in the clouds above Oz: “Our Wizard lies.” Meanwhile, Glinda — now a symbol of hope — prepares to marry Prince Fiyero, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey.

The trailer also shows the people of Oz hunting for Elphaba, with one character ominously holding a bucket marked “Melt her.”

As excitement builds for the final chapter of the beloved story, Amanda Holden’s dazzling appearance added even more star power to the already magical night.
