The fact that she isn't wearing any jewelry beside a few sequins and glitter, and the dress is so simple - but might just possibly be one of the most beautiful blue dresses in all of cinema speaks wonders. This truly is the perfect fairy-tale movie, and the whole scene here was so fantastically done.

Exceptional movie. Lily James gives a phenomenal performance, perfectly balancing between the essential "theatrical" acting the period & Disney request and the realistic portrayal of an abused girl with a heart full of dreams in the 1700s. Cinderella is often called 'weak' but she's truly a role model for young girls. No prince "saved her", she suffered emotional abuse and neglect, but she still managed to keep fighting, hoping and maintaining her ability of forgiveness and purity. She's a survivor, she's a dreamer, and we should never call those things "weaknesses".

[@shine-uy5fq]

You said it perfectly

[@Kiwiltroops]

Love your comment

[@Fl0k5ser]

The fact that Lily's audition for the movie at first was for one of the Stepsisters and ended up being the title character is amazing. Lily is exactly how I imagine a live action Cinderella should be

[@kronk2.094]

It's actually more probable it's based on 1800s (the gowns really remind European 1850s/1860s, and inside Ella's home we can see a Japanese room, typical in the late 1800s) than 1700s, but still, yeah...

[@arctistarfox]

This is one of many reasons that Cinderella remains my favorite fairytale, and Lily James' portrayal of the titular character is exactly how I imagine the character today with adult hindsight. The 1950's Disney film is the first version of the tale I remember watching as a child in the 2000's and early 2010's. It's one of the first full-length Disney films I vividly remember watching period, including the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast (which is my mother's favorite), and The Little Mermaid. I didn't understand the meaning of the tale until I started reading fan-fiction adaptations of the rags to riches story and rewatching the two Disney films as a teenager and now adult.

@Beep Beep Sure. But compared to other gowns I've seen, I just felt that it was too evident that it was heavy when he lifted her.

[@adrianpi513]

I used to work at a bridal store and we had a replica of this dress shipped in and i unpackaged it steamed it, and placed it on the mannequin. It was not made with the same material as the one on the film ofcourse but the replica had layers of tool and very light weight organza. the original gown is actually quite lighter than it looks the top layer of the gown is silk crepeline, very thin light weight silk. The layers underneath are made up of a synthetic called yumissima, a light, expensive material or so google says lol

[@annahill99]

Kenneth Branagh always makes beautiful films. This is actually the only live action remake I’ve liked so far because I think it’s different enough from the original and actually adds a lot of great new things. It improves upon it, it’s not just a dull copy with 10 mins of forgettable additions

I've watched this scene many times over because of how it makes my heart feel & it's artistry. It's also incredible how they encircle each other on their horses through most of the scene, which couldn't have been easy at all & yet, they make it look effortless; And that feels a bit like a dance between the two of them too.

Cinderella’s gown in this film makes Belle’s (Emma Watson) ball gown look like a sackcloth. The difference...Emma told the costume designer to make the gown understated (AKA “cutting creative wings off of the designer ending up with a basic AF dress that didn’t fit the story or style era in France of Marie Antoinette”). Personally, I always thought Leighton Meester would’ve made a perfect Belle (Blair on Gossip Girl). She can sing beautifully, and speaks French fluently.

[@cluelesscrispy]

It’s ok not to wear a corset. Fanning didn’t wear one on Maleficent. And she still looked incredible. Yes I agree with you. You can be strong and feminist without looking too masculine like in Aladdin. Yes I agree that Watson murdered the movie with her opinions. Like the ear cuffs in Beauty and The Beast (which made no sense, just to be modern when it shouldn’t)

[@commandoclo]

The original gown design from Beauty and the Beast, imo, wasn’t even a corseted dress. It could have easily been recreated without one, the skirt is entirely wrong, the neckline should be off the shoulder and they make it bright yellow which is too gareish irl as opposed to a pastel or gold. Overall it’s just gross whereas the Cinderella dress here is different while being just as magical as the original

[@cluelesscrispy]

commandoclo I agree it was too yellow. If they could not recreate something better than the original don’t change it. And yes the off shoulders would have been beautiful.

[@commandoclo]

Syahidah Abidin it annoys me so much as Cosplayer. I’ve seen my friends make dresses prettier than that and we’re all just hobbyist dressmakers, yet even we can tell you it’s pretty objectively an unfaithful and ugly recreation.

[@YuuKamijo]

@@emilywandosen8472 Not that I think Beauty and the Beast is better than Cinderella nor vice versa but you're missing the point. Belle is beautiful but her beauty is also unconventional for her time. She wasn't into fancy makeup and being garb by the fashion sense of her time. She's beautiful albeit not the most but what makes her standout his her simplicity, her intelligence, and her openness to see underneath appearances. Hence, she was able to look past the Beasts' hideous look and bad behavior. It works that they casted Emma Watson for the role. It helps that she previously played as Hermione, the character herself is bookish and was written as an ugly duckling then turned into a swan. So going by the story, it mattered more that the production placed more emphasis on Belle and the Beast's chemistry.

[@jaybonn5973]

It's not so much better than it is an entirely different story. In 1950 Cinderella she wants to go to the ball because to her it's a place of escapism from her horrible life as an indentured servant, she wants one night to get away at the very least from her abusive house hold. One night to not lose her sanity, to have a good time. It's kinda just happenstance that the Prince meets her. What I find super endearing in 1950 is that the Prince notices Cinderella not because of her beauty or any shallow thing like that, it's because of how enamoured she is with the dream like palace she found herself in, so much so she is wholly unaware of the precession happening not 50 feet in from of her. It's that feeling of, hey look over there, someone who has no interest in all this formal stuff, she's just in her own little world. She has every opportunity to see me and I could give her everything she could ever want yet she decides to be swept by this unfamiliar place. (From his perspective) She's a girl who seemingly wants more out of life than to be locked up in a house for her entire life. I get that. ❤ that's what I see in the 1950 interaction. And it's beautiful, subtle, but beautiful

You know .. At first I kinda thought Lily James looked too plain to play something as iconic as Cinderella ... But after watching this .. I can honestly say I was a billion times wrong wrong wrong ! She was graceful in every way, her expression were flawless, the chemistry between her and the prince was beautiful and I actually believed that she was in fact Cinderella. My favorite live action to date .

Jon Snow is King of the North!!!!!!!

[@xmynationalanthemx]

Jon will make Robb proud. :D

[@heyheyheyheyheyhey76]

Yeah, and thank seven hells he seems way more humble and gracious here. Not the cocky horny teenager he was with Talisa. Thinking with his damn penis... and having the condescending nature to not see his actions would have ramifications and all round nasty repercussions. Robb is very mature here.

*Cinderella 2021 can never come close to this version of Cinderella*

is there any new Cinderella's movie?

[@lunamiku4166]

That's "new" Cinderella is a joke.

[@Fl0k5ser]

It's not even a big compliment, just pick any scene from Cinderella 2015 and it's still better than the 2021 version

Belle's dress in the live Beauty and the Beast looked like a DIY one made from Pinterest and Jasmine's in Aladdin were pretty but okay. Meanwhile Ella's dress in this movie was god-tier it literally looked like a cloud moving it's that beautiful

[@WinterWonder99]

Live action Belle's dress was truly embarrassing. Idk how they greenlit that. Jasmine's outfits were very pretty and colorful. But Ella's dress is just pure fairy tale goodness. Like a cloud floating on a dreamy, breezy spring day

[@whos.rafael]

YES, belle's gown was so awful, really looked like he made it herself, has not the "wow" factor
