‘Wicked,’ ‘Nosferatu,’ and ‘Conclave’ Win at the 2025 Costume Designers Guild Awards
Oscar frontrunners “Wicked” (Paul Tazewell), “Nosferatu” (Linda Muir), and “Conclave” (Lisy Christl) were all winners at the 27th Costume Designer Guild Awards (CDGA), held February 6 at The Ebell of Los Angeles. “Nobody Wants This” star Jackie Tohn served as host.
The film winners prevailed in the categories of sci-fi/fantasy, period, and contemporary, respectively. Costume designer Tazewell is currently the favorite to win the Oscar for “Wicked,” Jon M. Chu’s populist Oz musical. He created a connection to nature through mushroom motifs in the wardrobes for Elphaba (Oscar-nominated Cynthia Erivo), and a floating sensibility with effervescent pink bubble motifs in the wardrobes for Galinda (Oscar-nominated Ariana Grande).
