‘Wicked’[2024] and November 2025 released ‘Wicked: For Good’ actor Cynthia Erivo took a cover for the November-December 2025 British GQ [IG] ‘Men of the Year’ issue. Erivo also appeared in the US partner issue of GQ, but without a cover.

Patti Wilson styled the star in Atlein, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Loewe and more, for superb images by Campbell Addy [IG].

Hayley Campbell [IG] profiled Erivo, writing “Never felt more out of my depth than when shopping in Mayfair with someone so objectively cool. She’s also a no bullshit delight.”

From Campbell and British GQ’s perspective, Erivo is not standing down.

At a time when even the entertainment industry is bowing to dark political forces, Cynthia Erivo made a culture-conquering hit while standing firm for inclusion, kindness and radical acceptance.

Tongues were wagging when the Nigerian-British star failed to show up for the ‘Golden Globes’ awards at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on January 11, 2026. Enrivo was nominated for best actress, based on the role in ‘Wicked: For Good’.

For all who mattered, they knew it wasn’t the case at all that Enviro didn’t want to in LA. Reality was that her rehearsals in London would have come to a halt two weeks before her West End debut in ‘Dracula’ on February 4.

The Tony winner is currently in rehearsal for ‘Dracula’ in the West End, where she will play every role in Bram Stoker’s classic that runs until May 31. Creative camera work is her only partner onstage.

Kip Williams directs ‘Dracula’, telling the press that this version of the play will be a “queer retelling of the story, and we are looking at reclaiming the vampire.” In 2025 Williams adapted ‘The Picture of Dorian Grey’ as a solo show for Sarah Snook.

Erivo previously said of starring in ‘Dracula’:

“Returning to the stage feels like a homecoming, one that I’ve been craving for a long time. To do so with a story as rich, complex, and haunting as Dracula offers a beautiful opportunity to delve into character, into myth, and into the heart of what makes us human. From the moment I was asked, I could not get the role out of my mind. Kip’s vision is thrilling, terrifying, and deeply resonant, offering a chance to sit with not only the darkness in the world, but also the light we fight to hold onto. It’s a rare gift for an actor to inhabit so many voices and perspectives in one piece, and I’m honored to do it for West End audiences in this extraordinary production. The prospect of doing this show scares me and I know it will be a huge challenge. This show will ask everything of me—and I’m ready to give it.”

In the absolutely terrifying mess that America is today, The New York Times [free, 2 weeks link] reported this morning a stunning reversal in support for LGBTQ people, based on 7.1 million responses from Americans collected between 2007 and 2020. Evidence earmarked the rise of the nation’s pro-LGBTQ embrace to be the fastest reversal of a long-standing bias ever recorded.

The analysis of an additional 2.5 million responses from Americans collected from the beginning of 2021 through 2024 revealed that progress had not only stalled; it had reversed. In just four years, anti-gay bias rose by around 10 percent.

This reversal of pro-LGBTQ support was distinctly robust among America’s youngest adults — those under 25. Before speaking further on the topic, AOC must take a look at the actual data. I’m assuming that young men are driving this trend, not young women. There’s a massive, public attack going on against liberal white women of every age and gender ID.
