    Disney's live-action "Cinderella" brings the fairy tale to life in grand Hollywood style. The film's costume designer, three-time Oscar winner Sandy Powell, tells us why fittings can be the most exciting part of the creative process -- and how clothes helped make Cate Blanchett scary.

    Idk why so many people compare this dress to Belle's dress. Belle's dress was completely ordinary if you ask me. Cinderella's dress, on the other hand, is a magical masterpiece!

    I love that Cinderella's dress matched her personality without compromising the original design. It's elegant because of it's simplicity. It outshine the ballroom. Also it has butterflies which is a great callback to her childhood memories of her mother and father.

      I liked how they expanded the story, you can see the people's cultures, the kingdom's culture, the relationship with other kingdoms, it's like way more detailed than the original movie but I think they were both pretty good! Different times after all, but both good

  • @tattooedandy93

    The way Sandy spoke about Cinderellas ballgown really did capture what she set out to do. She said she wanted it to move like it was a watercolour painting and it did.
    Also the dress was so simple and that spoke more than the other dresses that had so many details so she stood out from them.
    Cate Blanchetts costumes were such a strong vibrant classic Hollywood style. Plus Cate Blanchett moved well in those costumes.
    Sandy is an artist. Her and Colleen Atwood are incredible costume designers. Can’t wait to see what Sandy does with Disneys live action Snow White.

    While this modern blue ball gown has become iconic, and the one in this movie is lovely, I still love the classic white dress from the 1950 animated feature. It's striking and angelic. Maybe at one point in time Disney started using blue for kids' dressup gowns so the outfit wouldn't get dirty as fast as white does, and it just "became" the color of Cinderella to which we're all accustomed.

    • @veronikaczr1105
      @veronikaczr1105 Před 3 lety +19

      I've heard it was because of marketing since selling white dresses to young girls would look too much like wedding dresses. And it's simpler and cheaper to make a blue dress instead of silver or silvery blue

    The ball gown is ugly. I cant see it any other way. The blue is so electrifying and gaudy it comes off as ugly. The overlayering with tons of different colors and materials does do well to make it shift and flow, but the color shift and iridescence looks tacky combined with the electrifying blue. The butterflies on the sleeves are pretty, but honestly add to the tackiness of it all.
    And I hate the white highlighting the gown
