A Wedding Dress Like Belle from Beauty and the Beast: Selection from Devotion Dresses

September 12, 2025

A classic princess-style ball gown is the perfect blend of fairytale magic, graceful proportions, and delicate charm. This timeless silhouette has remained beloved for centuries, proving that it can stand alongside even the most modern and daring bridal fashion trends without ever losing its allure.

Since childhood, many girls have dreamed of walking down the aisle in a voluminous, enchanting gown, ready to meet their very own prince. And when we think of iconic fairytale dresses, one instantly comes to mind—Belle’s unforgettable gown from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

When it came to recreating this legendary look for Emma Watson in the live-action adaptation, an extraordinary amount of artistry and craftsmanship went into its creation. Over 12,000 hours were devoted to designing and sewing Belle’s breathtaking yellow ball gown. The masterpiece required 55 meters of weightless organza, 914 meters of thread, and 2,160 Swarovski crystals, making it one of the most spectacular costumes in modern cinema.

Costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who brought the film’s wardrobe to life, worked closely with Emma Watson to capture Belle’s essence in a fresh, modern way. The result was not just a beautiful gown but a complete image of Belle as a strong, independent heroine.

Emma envisioned Belle as more than a dreamy bookworm—she wanted her to be free-spirited, inventive, and courageous. This vision came through in her costumes: everyday looks inspired by 18th-century fashion but infused with rebellious details, such as trousers hidden under skirts, pockets for tools, and sturdy boots instead of delicate slippers.

This reimagined Belle reminds us that beauty is not only about elegance but also about strength, individuality, and the confidence to write your own story—qualities every bride can embody on her wedding day.

That’s why we’ve created a special selection of wedding dresses from Devotion Dresses, inspired by Belle’s enchanting image. These gowns capture her fairytale romance, timeless grace, and regal spirit—perfect for brides who dream of feeling like the heroine of their very own love story.
