If Cinderella went to the ball today, she could not ask for a better godmother than Donatella Versace. And who better to dress Sleeping Beauty than Elie Saab? This season, Harrods is collaborating with Disney and 10 leading fashion designers to create 21st century glam-gowns for 10 legendary Disney princesses. This enchanting display (at Harrods from November 1) is sure to bring a touch of magic to icy winter evenings as we all sit and dream about what we would be wearing to meet our prince. I have fallen completely and irrevocably in love with the Versace and the Elie Saab ball gowns. What’s your pick? Which is your favourite look from this collection? And which one would you not touch with a barge pole? Do tell!

Aurora from Sleeping Beauty in Elie Saab: “Encapsulating the natural grace and innocence of Aurora, this beautiful gown in pale pink is embellished with scattered exquisite beading.”

Rapunzel in Jenny Packham: “A magical dress in pale grey adorned with incredible beading that should never be locked away.”

Pocahontas in Roberto Cavalli: “Featuring soft, golden and natural earthy colours, this gown incorporates prints evocative of dream catchers with pearl detailing. The lightness of a feather and the wings of a butterfly, it is perfect for a princess in love with freedom.”

Mulan in Missoni: “A land of silk and jade has inspired this oriental kimono-style dazzling creation, that features bold turquoise shades and red detailing.”

Jasmine in Escada: “An exotic fuchsia silk chiffon gown encompasses the fiery beauty of Jasmine, complete with an extravagant golden flower belt.”

Belle from Beauty and the Beast in Valentino: “A fantasy-like dress in silk chiffon with a sheer hooded cape and layers of exquisite pleats, is accessorised with bespoke signature studded flats and a silver flower bag.”

Snow White in Oscar de la Renta: “‘Someday your prince will come…’ This silk gown is divine with intricate embroidery across the bodice and a floor-sweeping cape in signature red.”

Ariel from The Little Mermaid in Marchesa: “A chic and elegant deep blue silk evening gown has been beautifully crafted to combine luxurious draped fabrics, which perfectly embody modern feminine style – capturing Ariel’s adventurous under-the-sea spirit.”

Tiana from The Princess & The Frog in Ralph & Russo: “A dream come true, this mint evening gown with a sweetheart neckline and mesh overlay, features scattered crystals that cascade into a layered tulle skirt.”

Cinderella in Versace: “‘You shall go to the ball’, in a stunning contemporary interpretation complete with golden layers, a tiara, a bold statement-necklace and of course, glass slippers – emblazoned with the iconic Versace medusa motif.”



I like princess Tiahna
I looooooove the colour of her gown
Sleeping Beauty (Elie Saab) and Ariel (Marchesa) are my favourites. Now if only they would hide my love handles
Lovely post! I can’t wait to see the actual gowns…
Real 21st century princes don’t mind love handles. And if they do, the 21st century princess just bonks them on the head with the glass slipper
