Lily James (Downton Abbey) and her magical prince, Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) in picture-perfect happily-ever-after attire for Walt Disney’s beloved fairy tale Cinderella.
A Modern Fairytale
Every fairy tale has a story. This story often resonates with our own. Something in each princess reminds us of a dream. The dream we all have, whether hidden or tangible, to live happily ever after.
Cinderella's story is no different. It is the story of a girl, born to receive love and all of the good things in life, but to have her dreams challenged by loss and selfish ambition. Losing her mother changes Ella's story. She is faced with a choice; to remain true to herself or allow her situation to change her. For Ella, staying true to her own heart requires that she dare to dream again and to allow her goodness to remain unhindered.
The Walt Disney live-action romance, Cinderella, awakens the princess heart within. Ella's personal story to persevere is a heart-felt live action about loss, love and good vs. evil. Overcoming is the chorus sung throughout, as Ella meets her Prince Charming and they live happily ever after.
Cinderella's Gown
The process of creating spectacular wedding-day attire for Ella was not an easy task. Costume designer Sandy Powell drew inspiration from the 19th century and the 1950s to re-imagine the looks of each character. Staying true to Ella's good nature and pure heart, which captivated the heart of Prince Charming, Powell designed her clothes to reflect her character. Delicate fabrics, multi-color florals and modest purity shine through the gowns. Elaborate, yet understated elegance are noticeable in each dress. Powell’s work on Cinderella's attire included a twelve-layer ball gown, a single dress that took more than 550 hours to make, and eight pairs of shoes made of Swarovski crystal. The results will amaze and awaken every aspiring princess as we get caught up in the fairy tale moment.
If you have the dream to follow in the footsteps of Cinderella, to wear a gown inspired by magic and royalty, the limited edition Cinderella gown by Alfred Angelo will have you inspired. It is a gown designed for a modern fairy tale romance and a royal dream come true. Dare to step out into your own magical wedding moment in this spectacular gown designed with sheer organza yoke, long fitted sleeves and full length ball gown silhouette.
