Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are being teased by fans after creating another viral moment during their ongoing Wicked press tour.
During the Wicked: For Good premiere in Paris on Friday, the pop star, 32, and Oscar-nominated actress, 38, were asked to describe each other’s ‘auras’ by an Elle magazine journalist.
Ariana said Cynthia’s was ‘yellow,’ like ‘sunshine.’ She added, ‘I think there’s also purple.’
Cynthia then said about Ariana: ‘I see, like a ciel blue, you know? Like aqua. And like, sunset-orange.’
The co-stars-turned-friends are in the throes of promoting the follow-up to last year’s Wicked. And the pair are once again generating buzz for their emphatic, effervescent chemistry during interviews.
Following the red carpet moment, one person wrote on Reddit, ‘I can’t go through this again,’ in reference to the movie stars’ previous ‘cringeworthy’ press run moments last year.

Using popular therapy-talk jargon, another Redditor added, ‘We’re all holding space for them. Did I say that right?’
And one person observed, ‘It seems like they’ve toned it down compared to last year, and wisely so.
‘I’m sure another full court press like they did last year would’ve annoyed everyone and possibly turned some people off from seeing the new movie.’
There was also someone who inserted, ‘They’re sweet and all but this annoys tf out of me.’
Contrarily, another social media user added to the thread, ‘They r so funny honestly.’
It prompted someone else to share, ‘I died laughing when Cynthia said “ciel blue.”‘
‘Lmao they are SO annoying… and I love it. It’s not harming anyone, so it’s just funny to me,’ wrote No_Barracuda8791.
In the minute-long clip, originally posted by Elle Germany on YouTube, the silver screen sensations gushed over the interviewer’s question.
‘We’ve never been asked that,’ Ariana said first before Cynthia echoed the sentence with emphasis and added, ‘That’s a great question to ask!’

One of last year’s most memorable interview highlights with Ariana and Cynthia was when the Positions hitmaker clasped her co-star’s index finger — adorned with an ornately manicured green nail — during an emotional moment.
During a sit-down, journalist Tracy E. Gilchrist told Cynthia that she had seen people online discussing the ‘lyrics of Defying Gravity,’ the stirring ballad her character sings in the film, and ‘feeling power’ from it.
Cynthia was visibly moved by the revelation, as she replied, ‘I didn’t know that was happening. That’s really powerful. That’s what I wanted.’
As she spoke, Ariana, who also got choked up over the comment, reached over and grabbed her costar’s pointer finger in what appeared to be a display of support — and many people poked fun at the exchange on the internet.
‘What was this?’ one person wrote on X alongside a screenshot of Ariana’s hand wrapped around Cynthia’s finger.
‘Is this a sketch comedy show or something?’ asked someone else.
