The actresses rated each other’s looks a solid ten. While Cynthia explained that her translucent black dress was from Dior, the pop star revealed that her pink gown, a nod to her character Glinda, was a Louis Vuitton design.
“Y’all look amazing,” the interviewer complimented the artists, before shifting the focus to a new topic, “What is a common misconception about y’all?”
Ariana gasped at the question and immediately turned to her co-star, who replied, “I don’t know what the common misconception is at all. That’s not a fashion question.”

The answer didn’t sit right with many netizens, who criticized the Tony winner for seemingly taking offense at a simple question.
“I understand it wasn’t a fashion question but it’s not like he was asking a rude question,” one user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“Why does he only have to ask fashion questions? And actually, Cynthia, it’s possible for there to be a misconception about one’s fashion choices/favourites, etc,” somebody else pointed out. “And he changed gears that fast cause a publicist told him he had 30 seconds total to interview them.”
“The manner of speech is so rude but okay,” a third user penned.

However, others supported the actress’ behavior, accusing the reporter of maliciously trying to start drama with his question. “He was tryna be messy and she clocked him lol,” a fan said.
