But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
If you've seen Wicked, you know that Fiyero Tigelaar, is the Chieftain of the Arjikis. In addition to catching Elphaba's eye, Fiyero was former Arjiki prince-turned-chieftain from Winkie Country. You may also know that Fiyero only appears in a few of the musical's songs, with notable solos in two songs.
In the first act, we see Fiyero in a red vest, and white, and very tight pair of jodhpurs. Although normally worn for horseback riding, they also pretty hot on Fiyero during his big Dancing Through Life number. In the second act, Fiyero dons a green shirt and pants, along with suspenders which he wears for As Long As Your Mine.
Although Fiyero has a few other costumes, they are the two main ones, and the ones often seen in the show's promotional material. From all the trailer for the movie, and all the promotional shots of Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, it seems the director or producer decided to change things up for the film. It's sort of too bad, as the original costumes were iconic, and became a part of the character. At least they kept the boots. Bailey recently shared that he took a nude selfie of himself in just the boots, which I know most of us would kill to see!
'As I got there, nothing arrived. So all I had was my Fiyero boots. There's an amazing photo that no one's ever gonna see of me in nothing but my boots, which sort of felt right for Fiyero somehow.'
