- Nicole Kidman described working with Sandra Bullock again after 28 years as gratifying and credited the sequel’s creation primarily to strong fan support.
- In the film directed by Susanne Bier, sisters Sally and Gillian Owens face a curse threatening their family across several generations.
- Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest return as aunts Frances and Jet, while Joey King, Maisie Williams, Solly McLeod and Xolo Mariduena are also in the cast.
- Practical Magic 2 is scheduled to open in UK cinemas on September 11.
To be able to come back 28 years later and star in this movie together, and be able to get it made… It is so hard to get a film made, particularly with a budget that is decent, and to be able to do it together as women is kind of fantastic. That’s gratifying in itself, and hopefully it says something about the industry where you can do it.— Nicole Kidman; remarks at the European premiere of Practical Magic 2, reported by the Press Association (PA)

- Grande crossed a dark blue carpet in Santa Monica on January 4, wearing a loosely styled updo.
- For foundation and concealer, Michael Anthony used Sweetner shades light 8NW and light 4G, respectively.
- Brandon Pietsch gave her brunette hair, restored in October, a dark caramel tone; Alyx Liu slicked it back as soft waves fell behind.
- The complete look, including custom Alberta Ferretti clothing, paid homage to Diahann Carroll at the 1969 Oscars.
I’m definitely seeing a shift toward more sleek, structured updos this awards season — clean silhouettes, strong shapes and very intentional styling feel like they’re coming back in a big way.— Igor Rosales Jackson, celebrity stylist, said in an interview with WWD ahead of the Critics Choice Awards.

- The film splits the original musical into two parts, extending the story to a total duration of five hours.
- It depicts a dystopian Oz under a dictatorial Wizard, where animals are silenced and imprisoned.
- Character arcs, especially for Elphaba, Glinda, and Nessarose, are heavy-handed and rely on harmful stereotypes about disability.
- Despite strong performances, the movie fails to explore Oz’s political context or develop compelling conflicts.
They need someone to be wicked, so that you can be good.— Elphaba explains to Glinda her role in society.
