Belle 5

GLAMOUR has seen Beauty and The Beast and we can confirm: a) it’s awesome, and b) Belle’s yellow dress is INCREDIBLE. We spoke to Emma Watson about what it was like to wear the iconic ball gown and she said that it felt “perfect” when she put it on. She also told us the dress was “a dream of a dress to dance in”.

Emma’s co-star Dan Stevens also told us how his little girl had opinions about the dress, and even sketched some designs for Emma to look at. How cute! Watch the interview below…

Designed by Academy Award-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who designed everything from the costumes for all the villagers to the elaborate ball gown worn by Belle when she dances with the Beast in the castle ballroom. She said it was easily the trickiest costume because the world loved Belle’s yellow frock in the original. As a result, the design process was lengthy and it involved numerous discussions about its look, colour and the material used.

“The dress was always going to be yellow in our film as an homage to the animation,” Jacqueline said. “What we tried to do was re-interpret it and flesh it out a bit by adding more texture and making it feel like a real living costume.” In the end, the dress was created from multiple layers of feather-light satin organza dyed yellow (180 feet in total), which was cut broadly in a circular shape and required 3,000 feet of thread.

The top two layers were printed with gold leaf filigree in a pattern matching the ballroom’s Rococo floor and accentuated with 2,160 Swarovski crystals.
