Beauty & The Beast: Emma’s Opening Dress Costume Reveal

We have another sneak peek: Belle’s updated opening dress.

Disney released a sketch of what Belle’s blue apron and peasant blouse will look like this go-around, and they’re way edgier, grungier, and modern compared to the 1991 Disney originals. Belle is finally letting her hair down—literally.

Other changes we noticed: Belle swaps her perfect low ponytail for a more realistic down ‘do. The heavier hair is paired with a thicker-looking blue apron with checkered detail. Belle’s white blouse is also distinctively less polished, and she trades in her hand basket for several washcloths around her waist.

However, the most drastic change is definitely Belle’s footwear. Disney exchanged Belle’s dainty, barely there flats for a pair of sturdier boots with thick shoelaces. Belle has a lot of walking to do, people. She needs support!

News: Emma Watson Taking A Year Break From Acting

Emma Watson says she’s taking a yearlong break from acting to focus on herself and her work with the HeForShe gender equality campaign.

What Emma had to say about the reasons for taking a break from acting:

“I’m taking a year away from acting to focus on two things, really,” Watson told feminist writer bell hooks in an interview for Paper Magazine. “My own personal development is one. I know that you read a book a day. My own personal task is to read a book a week, and also to read a book a month as part of my book club. I’m doing a huge amount of reading and study just on my own.”

“This January, our HeForShe IMPACT champions are ten CEOs who for the first time will be releasing to the media what their companies look like internally,” she said. “So how many CEOs are male or female, the gender wage gap. We’ll be making all of these statements completely transparent, which is huge. It’s never been done before.”

She continued, “I’ll also take another field trip in the next two or three months. We are organizing a HeForShe arts week, a university tour, and launching the HeForShe website. It’s a lot. There’s a lot to do.”

Though she’ll be on break, you can see Emma Watson in Colonia, in which she plays a woman who infiltrates a cult, which hit theaters this year along with Regression with Ethan Hawke. The Circle with Tom Hanks is also expected for a 2016 release, while 2017 will see Watson as Belle in Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast.
