Not only was Audrey Hepburn used as one of the visual models for animators when creating the Disney character Belle from the 1991 film, Beauty and the Beast, but the ball gown Belle wears in the now famous waltz scene from the Oscar-nominated Disney flick is directly inspired by the royal gown Audrey Hepburn wore in the 1953 film Roman Holiday - her Hollywood debut. Hepburn was used as model primarily for her face’s round features. The Disney animators wanted to make Belle more ‘European-looking,’ than some previous princesses, which led them to Hepburn’s earlier film roles as guidance.
Can’t get over the awesomeness of this post. My two favorites. <3
I can’t believe I didn’t know this. I love Roman Holiday, I should have just guessed!
Posts like this are why I have a Disney Tumblr.
This freaks me out! Beauty and the Beast is hands down my favorite Disney movie because I connect with Belle (bookworm, features-wise, etc etc) and because welp it basically introduced me to i-don’t-like-you-but-i’m-going-fall-in-love-with-you-as-time-passes cliche that brings all the kiligz to my yard. To know that Audrey Hepburn, my favorite actress (I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s), is one of the visual models for Belle? Augh. Well I just can’t fully express this post’s awesomeness to me.
