"Ever since the sequel to 2024's premiered in cinemas at the end of November, fans have been united in their curiosity around the gnarly and oversized grey cardigan worn during "As Long As You're Mine". Elphaba ( Cynthia Erivo) and Fiyero ( Jonathan Bailey) sing the song after the latter has run from his wedding to Glinda ( Ariana Grande) and stopped running from his feelings for Elphaba. The two then sing out their feelings ending the song by levitating into bed."
""It came out of very literally an organic decision of what does Elphaba have access to? "And living alone, what choice would she make when she's looking for a robe, some way to be protective and warm? It's operating as her robe for that moment." He continued: "She's got a loom in her treehouse, where she's weaving her own clothing. She's manifesting all these things from the elements that are around her, and the sweater is just in keeping with that.""
Fans became fixated on the oversized grey cardigan Elphaba wears during "As Long As You're Mine," a moment that has become a widespread meme. The scene shows Elphaba and Fiyero expressing their feelings and levitating into bed after Fiyero abandons his wedding. Elphaba discards her battledress and opts for the lumpy knitwear, which operates as her robe in that intimate moment. Costume designer Paul Tazewell explained the garment stems from practical choices about what Elphaba would have access to while living alone. Tazewell noted Elphaba weaves her clothes on a loom in her treehouse, manifesting garments from surrounding elements, and that the sweater aligns with her character priorities.
