      It’s blue in the “Disney universe” and in other movies because a silver dress looks like a wedding dress. If you make dolls or dresses for children in the real world if will more often then not come off looking like a wedding dress, that is why Disney marketed it as blue. Just like when they marketed sleeping beauty in the pink dress not the blue ( even though she wears the blue dress a lot more than the pink one in the movie) that’s because Disney made the colour blue associated with cinderella 😄 so really it has to do with how they can sell the merchandise😆 atleast that is what I have learnt ( I’m going animation right now, but I guess it could be wrong. 😆🙃😁)

      I agree; I adore the original white dress but that doesn't stop me from loving the live action version. I see the 2015 Cinderella more as a reimagining of the original; they took inspiration from the 1950 film, but really it's just a different version of Cinderella that exists in its own right.

    I’ve always been annoyed by this! Whoever thinks “kids won’t care” or “kids will be more attracted to her dress in blue” are wrong. I watched the movie a lot as a kid, and even back then it bugged me that her dress was blue on all the merch when it’s very clearly white/silver. (And on top of that, I always preferred Aurora in her royal blue dress than the bright pink they always have her in. It was blue for the majority of the time she wore the dress in the movie, including the spinning wheel scene and being woken by Philip. Give Aurora her blue dress and put Ariel back in the pastel pink).

      @@charchica_711 I kind of doubt the silhouette is the problem. Cinderella's dress is more of what we think of when we think wedding. However I have noticed that more sleeker silhouettes are much more in style this decade. I just remembered Anna has a white dress too and a few kids dresses of that one are sold too. I've been a bridesmaid in 3 weddings and the brides all chose silhouettes that were more similar to what Elsa and Anna wear than the traditionally big poofy princess dresses. Likewise Kate Middleton's and Meghan Markle's also look more like what the sisters wear.
      Actually thinking about it this way makes me understand why after Princess and the Frog Disney stopped putting their female leads in big poofy dresses.

    EDIT: since users are mentioning the carnival costumes - I can't see where the problem is; just make it glittery/glossy silver, trim it with tons of duo chrome sequins, and no one would think it's a wedding dress.

    I feel like you missed the most obvious explanation as to why her dress appears blue in the film: light refraction. As an artist, you need to understand the way lighting affects the world around you so it can be captured in a painting. her dress is blue simply because the background is blue around her and her white dress is reflecting the blue that is refracted. It's the same reason the sky and ocean are blue. They both do not have color; we simply have the blue/violet rays reflected into our eyes.

    Can we also talk about the change of hair color between her and Aurora? If you look at the two original films Cinderella has strawberry blonde hair, and Aurora has a more pale/ashy blonde color. But with the merchandise, it seems like they swapped the two. Cindy's has gotten incredibly paler and blonder, while Aurora's has become darker and golden. I dunno something I noticed after working in the parks.

      The reason the 35mm looks dirty blonde is because since they didn’t have great technology back then, everything has a greyish tint. Look at the background for example, it’s literally black and white when it’s supposed to be blue and purple.

    I love that you're so passionate about this topic. Cinderella has never been my favourite disney film but here I am, invested on the colour of her dress just because of you 😂

    I'm showing this too everyone I know who says that "you do know Cinderella's dress is blue?" to me. I'm right! It was silver and her hair was strawberry blonde!

    I always seen it white and wanted a doll like that but seen all of them blue, even with dresses of them which pretty upset me.

      I feel the same way about Aurora. I want to buy her merchandise but it always comes in pink.

    I didn't know this was a thing, always knew her dress was some kind of silver. I loved the side by side versions! Thanks!

    The silver goes so well with Cinderella than blue.

      She is usually seen in blue, so that the ball gown won't look likea wedding dress.

    I also grew up in the '92 VHS and I remember being so sad I couldn't get a doll with a silver dress! I could not understand why all the dolls wore blue!!

    The live-action fairy godmother has a prettier dress than Cinderella's blue dress.

    Another thing that Disney deliberately changed with Cinderella, would be her hairdo. Her hair was originally supposed to be in something akin to a French roll, not a bun.

    Silver gives a more delicate and finer feel and the shade just looks gorgeous which matches her eyes so silver would fit her best
