2007's Enchanted lovingly spoofed Disney's fairytale princesses and saw Amy Adam's 'Giselle' magically transported form her animated world to real life New York City wearing this fabulously over-the-top fairytale wedding dress.

Fans of the romantic comedy directed by Kevin Lima can also check out these other cool film costumes from Enchanted designed by Mona May on display, whilst admirers of Amy Adams can also check out these other movie costumes worn by the actress in recent years in films such as American Hustle, Nocturnal Animals, Julie & Julia, Batman v Superman and more besides.

In 2015 Lily James brought the rags-to-riches 'Ella' to life in Kenneth Branagh's lavish live-action Disney adaptation and wore this glittering fairytale blue ballgown, adorned with butterflies, to dance with the Prince before the clock struck twelve.

If you love this voluminous gown, be sure to check out more fabulous Oscar-nominated film costumes from Cinderella designed by Sandy Powell on display at other exhibitions.

I may have seen these three gowns on display on previous occasions, but they're still a delight to see in person out of reflective cases to see the craftsmanship and elaborate designs up close.
