This time last week we saw Disney release the trailer for
the highly anticipated live action adaptation of Cinderella. Due for release in
March 2015 we were blown away by the fantastic performances by Lily James
(Cinderella) and the ever talented Helena Bonham Carter (Fairy Godmother),
however the star studded cast wasn’t the only things getting us excited! The
styling is stunning; the gorgeous pastel blue’s, the long flowing hair and those glass slippers, Disney definitely didn't leave us disappointed.
We were so blown away by the styling in the movie that we
decided we’d like to be Cinderella for the day. With this in mind, we’ve come up
with a few ways to incorporate a bit of Disney magic into our wardrobe. The
main things that came to our attention when watching the trailer was the pastel
blue colour of Cinderella’s famous dress, the jewellery and the simple
hairstyles.
Now don’t worry, we’re not expecting you to get into the
middle of the dance floor in a ball gown (unless of course you want to, then
you go on girl!) but giving a few nods to those Disney fairy-tales can really
be a lot of fun and maybe even catch the eye of your very own Prince Charming.
Below are just some of the idea’s we’ve come up with.
This skirt may not be blue, but it does scream ‘princess’ to
us. The jewels, tutu shape and sparkly waist really gives this skirt the ‘wow’
factor, but teamed with a pastel jumper means it could easily be suitable for
both day and night.
This is another similar outfit; a little less glamorous than
the previous really proving that princess chic can work for every occasion. A
statement pair of earrings or necklace could really make this outfit pop.
Even celebrities are getting involved; the likes of Taylor Swift and Diana Argon have been experimenting with loose hair, simple make up and plenty of blue tones. Kate Middleton, a real life princess also shows
us how a blue, long length coat can be warm and stylish. This is a great look
if you’re a little scared of going too far with the Cinderella theme, but want
a change from the usual winter coat.
Hair and makeup can also be a really great way of adding a
bit of Cinderella glamour to your look. The Cinderella look seems to be a mix
of updos and loose hair but the important factor is that the hair doesn’t look
too done. She’s been cleaning her house all day; she hasn’t exactly got time to
mess around with hundreds of Kirby grips has she? Loose fringes, soft waves and
simple accessories is what it’s all about. The same goes with makeup, a simple
wash of champagne on your eyelids and a pretty pink lip can go really well with
this look.
We hope this post has inspired you to give the Cinderella look
a go, the Christmas season is the perfect time to experiment with fashion and
add a little bit of sparkle to your outfit. Tweet us at @ShopTaupePearl if you
