There is nothing to say about the plot, but the costume design inside is incredible. This time, Disney invited Jacqueline Durran to do the costume design, which seems to be the year's Oscar costume award.

Jacqueline Durran has won 22 nominations in various awards ceremony around the world over the years, and won 16 bids, including 3 Oscar nominations. Among them, Anna Karenina won the best costume of 2013 with Anna Karenina. design.

Although Emma Watson's personality has collapsed a bit recently, it is undeniable that if Disney wants to evolve the patriarchal fairy tale system into a modern buying story, female independence is an indispensable part.

Emma is obviously the best one to play at the moment, and is the best candidate for the role of Belle. Jacqueline also hopes to showcase Belle with a more modern female spirit through the new costume design.

Emma Watson x Vanity Fair promotional photos are extremely controversial

The animated version of Beauty and the Beast in 1991 was very popular at the time and fascinated a generation of girls. Back then, various toy companies couldn't wait to change the clothes inside to their own products one after another.

So when Durran accepted the invitation to make live-action film costumes, the focus of the whole work was not to make a comeback to create a new image, but how to bring the exquisite animation version of the costume design to the real world, how to make it in the original Based on the version, it is optimized and transformed according to the actual scene and the constantly advancing spirit of modern women.

01 The blue one-piece dress at the opening is a very obvious beginning. Belle did not wear ordinary flat shoes, instead boots. There are also pocket designs common in the 18th century, but Durran designed it on the outermost part of the clothing, which looks like a tool belt with various tools to facilitate Belle to quickly complete various chores in the village.

Belle is also used to tie the skirt into the skirt belt, you can see that Belle wears the most common bloomers of that era.

This kind of bloomers that can be exposed also allows Belle not to be constrained by the skirt itself, and the height of the skirt can be adjusted at any time according to the situation. Various elements are designed to imply Belle's pursuit of freedom.

Rebuilding the blue one-piece dress is a complicated and contradictory process. The animated version of the blue dress is too conceptual and has simple lines, which is a bit monotonous in reality.

On the premise of not violating the original color of the clothing, Durran hopes to add more detailed designs to the live-action clothing, such as the added tulle shoulder details on the upper body, which not only takes into account the characteristics of French clothing in the 18th century, but also better Bring out Belle's feminine characteristics.

02 This yellow evening dress is the longest time spent in the whole show and the one most discussed by the media.

Whether in the animated version or the live-action version, this evening dress is the focus of the movie. The live-action version is sewn with silk organza fabric, dotted with golden leaves and shiny details, and blends into the castle ballroom.

SWAROVSKI also provided 2,160 crystals for Jacqueline as accessories.

Under the premise of the same overall style, Durran made a very big change in the profile, abandoning the corset, compared to the tall and straight shape of the animated version, the whole skirt looks quite light in the live version.

Not only the skirt, but all the accessories on Belle that night, such as feather hair accessories, gold and silver necklaces, etc., echoed the castle full of magic and vitality.

Emma even wears yellow tops to match the promotion.

03 The red cloak in the original version is also perfectly restored.

04 The cloak in the scene of going to the castle to find dad is also nearly 95% restored~~~

05 also added small florals~~~

06 In the first half of the film, the beasts the prince turns into are basically naked (or hiding under a cloak). At first, you didn't see any humanity in this beast, but as he slowly fell in love, the monster that once streaked began to be gentle and pay attention to his clothes.

Durran must make the whole piece of clothing extremely stretchable, because to move with the monster, this requires the costume design team to work with the visual team, the mold team, the stuntman, and of course the big cousin himself.

Even his beard is a challenge because it blocks the neckline design as it moves.

07-08 Me! quick! want! Change! become! Luke Evans! of! fan! younger brother! NS! In terms of glib tongue, Gaston dare to recognize the second, no one dares to call the first, and there are few men who pay so much attention to their own clothes. The iconic red color of this arrogant villain is inspired by the 18th century army uniform style.

Gaston, played by Luck Evans, always wants to be the focus of everyone, so this very decorative red long jacket appears very frequently in the movie.

I really don't want it~~
Also sell cute maliciously~~

09 It turned out that Cadenza (lower left), as a harpsichord, must wear his clothes to match his public personality. The 18th-century imperial performer's style couldn't be more appropriate. But Durran added some details to this foundation to make the style of Cadenza and the entire castle look not too incompatible, such as the golden lace fabric and the embroidery on the clothes.

Although Madame de Garderobe's clothing is also very gorgeous, it is far less sophisticated and sophisticated than Cadenza. Garderobe (above right), which is cast into a wardrobe, exudes the same luxury and splendor as a castle, and must be crisp in silhouette (so that it will not be too abrupt in the process of magical changes), and it is said to put on clothes Audra McDonald was unable to sit down and rest during the filming. #什么一个忧字了得#

Don't casually emphasize that you have inner beauty, because inner beauty is a more difficult thing to have than outer beauty, but it is something you can do with a little thought to dress like a person. The sloppy clothes are really wild beasts who look down on you.
