Seeing this voluminous costume up close you could almost argue it looks a tad plasticky under this lighting, but on the big screen it really works, as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother works her magic and turns a pumpkin into an ornate golden carriage and mice into horses, lizards into footmen and a goose into a driver, not to mention transforming Cinderella into a vision fit for a Royal ball.

If you're a fan of the actress, be sure to also check out her Western saloon costume from Disney's The Lone Ranger and her Royal costume from The King's Speech.
