Something is "wicked hot" or "wicked beautiful" or "wicked adorable" would be acceptable in this form. It seems that the word has decided to step outside the normal confines of grammar. One might say it is behaving "morally bad in principle or practice". I suspect it would just say it's being mischievous. ;-). I’m sure you LOVE the “wicked” + adjective combo.
