Lele Pons and Greeicy Enter the World of 'Wicked:' Are Trying To Take the Role from Danna Paola?
In Spanish
Lele Pons and Greeicy stole the spotlight on social media just two days before Halloween, sharing a slideshow of more than nine stunning photos showcasing their costumes as Glinda and Elphaba.
Lele, the singer and influencer known for her humorous internet videos on Vine and Instagram and her hit song 'Se te nota,' transformed into Glinda, the Good Witch, wearing a pink dress reminiscent of Ariana Grande's costume in the upcoming film adaptation of Winnie Holzman's novel.
Meanwhile, Greeicy went bolder, dressing up as Elphaba, the green-skinned witch who will be played by Cynthia Erivo on the big screen.
In an exclusive interview with People, Lele, wife of Puerto Rican rapper, Guaynaa, revealed why she chose this character: "It was my idea because I'm a huge 'Wicked' fan. I've been watching it since I was a kid in New York with my dad, and I wanted to do it with a friend. Greeicy, who's my neighbor, had never dressed up for Halloween like this before."
"She wanted to dress up, so I invited her, and that's how we came up with the idea. She wanted to paint her whole body," Lele added.
The mastermind behind this creation was Doral, FL-based fashion designer and CEO, Karina García, who crafted both artists' costumes and documented the preparation process, leaving both singers in awe when they saw their respective costumes.
Capturing the magic between the two singers in costume was Julio Mendez, the acclaimed Venezuelan photographer, Emmy winner, and frequent collaborator at New York Fashion Week.
The Post Made Waves
With over 76 million followers combined on Instagram, the singers caused a viral sensation with their collaborative post, amassing more than a million likes and comments from fellow artists like Anitta, Lola índigo, and Ninoska Vázquez, all joining in the Halloween spirit. While they aren't the only celebrities to dress up, they certainly established themselves as one of the most visible ones.
It's seems clear that since Greeicy and Lele celebrated with Shakira at the "Solteras" party in Miami, their friendship has only grown stronger - especially now that they're neighbors.
