It's the second week of 2017, let's talk more colors! *yay! It's the brightest hue humans can see, Yellow! As one of the primary colors (set of colors that cannot be created by mixing any other colors), yellow is often associated warmth, optimism, intelligence, hope, and gentleness, due to it being the most visible and luminous color.
So what comes to your mind when you hear the word "yellow"? Well, other than Coldplay's song... Yellow is also the color of the iconic Belle's royal Dress in the upcoming live-action movie, "
Beauty and the Beast". Nope! It's not entirely gold like we imagined it would be, but it's yellow with Gold ornaments.
The movie's costume designer, Jacqueline Durran said on Entertainment Weekly that they tested a lot of yellow colors, "it was just trying to work out the tone" she says. Though it has satin-finishing, it's made of layers of silk to maintain its volume and lightness at the same time, so it has that flowy effect. The dress itself has two tones of yellow in its lighter spectrum; a Sunflowery yellow and Gold for its flower details.
The yellow dress is perfect for Belle, it suits her and her personality- wise, gentle, and independent. Even though she's not the "leader" of the princesses (Cinderella?), Belle is the most intelligent out of the others due to her hobby and passion for books. Yeah, have I mentioned Yellow means Intelligence?
In the original movie, the dress is worn only once! Yep, in "the Ballroom Dance" scene, but it became the royal dress for Belle in the Disney Princesses lineup and meet-and-greet.
We still have to wait until March to see the dress in action, oh wait..! Here's some fun rumor- Ariana Grande and John Legend will be covering the theme song in, "Beauty and the Beast". Aren't we all excited? Well until then, let's embrace the color more!
