Source | Before she transformed into a golden-gowned princess, Belle was a French villager in a blue apron and peasant blouse. The look, though perhaps not quite as iconic as that yellow ball gown, is nonetheless memorable. When Emma Watson brings the bookworm heroine to life in the live-action remake, she’ll revamp Belle’s dresses too.
Disney recently shared another look of the new Beauty and the Best with sketches of the set and costumes, including Belle’s blue-and-white apron outfit. The drawings for Watson’s dress turns out to be a little grungier than the original, paired with boots and even a few dish towels strung at the belt instead of Belle’s dainty basket. Her perfectly bowed updo is also transformed into a loose pony, making her look even more realistic.
For more sketches, take a look at HelloGiggles.com. You can also find a sneak peek if you download the original animated Beauty and the Beast (which is 25 years old this year) oniTunes, but a few previews on the film, which is set to release in 2017, are out already.
Last week, Disney released a first look of Watson and her co-star Dan Stevens reading their lines together as Belle and the Beast:
The headline says it; I Heart Watson is coming back! We are Sara and Neide, and Celyn kindly let us adopt this amazing fan site from her. We will work very hard to get it back to being one of your best Emma resources online.
We’re currently working on getting everything set up, and afterwards we will start adding all the event photos of Emma which are missing. The gallery is already back up and running, so while you wait for the full re-launch, head over and browse all the gorgeous Emma photos! Updates are coming soon.
Earlier this week, Vogue Italia released a series of stunning shots of Emma Watson from their upcoming November 2015 issue. High-quality versions of the shoot are now up in the gallery, along with another new shoot from this year, and a few shots of Emma alongside Malala Yousafzai from their recent Q&A.
