Behind the Costumes of 'Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration'
The Art of Costume: Welcome back to another piece on Beauty and the Beast! Last time, we talked about the 1994 Broadway musical and the 2017 Disney live-action movie adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, where we specifically focused on Belle’s gown and the Beast’s costume. But this time, we’ll be looking at something new – the costumes of Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration.

I don’t remember a lot of the movies I’ve seen, but the new Beauty and the Beast movie is something I specifically remember seeing and enjoying for the technical qualities. Not only was the music and the setting and the ambience of the whole movie amazing, but the costumes were something that really stood out to me. Watching Belle go from this normal girl in a province to a real princess was really cool, and the quality of both of her costumes made the effect even better. The transformation of all of the inanimate objects was really special as well, as we got to see all of these elegant objects turn into these really elegantly dressed people through the extravagant costumes. I didn’t think about it before it actually happened, but I really wish I had put thought into what the objects would look like as humans before they were revealed. It was an awesome transformation and I think the costume designers did a fantastic job.
