In just 1 month and 14 days, a glass slipper will be lost and a ‘maid’ will reveal to the world, the princess she really is in Disney’s live action ‘Cinderella‘. Before I continue on about the movie, I have a couple of fashion ideas that would be perfect for a royal ball. I have been following along with the lucky attendees who will be heading to #CinderellaEvent in LA, next month and the fun sparked my fashion waves, so you know I headed right to Polyvore to put together a look to inspire those attending! Check out out:
In fact, I have an ever growing collection of looks inspired by Disney (and Marvel) movies and you can see them all on my Disney Love collection. Now, onto the movie…in case you hadn’t heard let me share with you the synopsis of Cinderella.
SWOON over this dress!
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
A live-action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale, “Cinderella” brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece as fully-realized characters in a visually-dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.
The movie stars Cate Blanchett, Lily James, Richard Madden, Stellan Skarsgård, Holliday Grainger, Derek Jacobi and Helena Bonham Carter. Such a great cast and I have to admit I am super excited to see Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother! I have no doubt Disney is going to do amazing things in ‘Cinderella’.
In fact, you can see for yourself what to expect in the trailer!
