No judgement from me. I thought her other outfits were really cute too. Especially her white dress from the dance scene.

I've always loved the shoes she wears.

[Wiendish Fitch]

And now, some underrated Disney Princess dresses:

Am I weird for thinking Snow White's rags were kind of cute?  

For a first effort, the mice did a great job making Cinderella's pink dress!

Ariel's blue dress she wears on her first full day as a human is too adorable. I even like that impractically huge bow in her hair! It's a shame her outfit is different in the stage versions.

I also love Belle's pink dress.

I LOOOOOOOVE Cinderella’s pink dress. It’s a shame those bitches ripped it up all because the mice borrowed the material from them—they weren’t even using the beads and sash!!!!

It’s cute and all, but I really love her pink dinner dress.

I still seethe over Anastasia and Drizella tearing Cinderella's dress off her body. Grrr...

But on a more positive note, I also like Ariel's pink dress. I also love the diamond comb in her hair, it's a nice little detail.

I really liked Tiana's dress in Princess and the Frog. It has a kind of leaf/flower petal vibe to it.

[Annber03]

I love Ariel's blue dress in that photo you shared, @Wiendish Fitch. I always thought that was a really cute outfit. 

Agreed on Belle's dress as well.

Yeah, Ms. Estefan's dress is a nice color, but the style isn't very becoming to her. It's too fussy.

Speaking of bridesmaids* dresses, it's a shame that that lovely lavender gown was wasted on Julia Roberts's obnoxious schemer in My Best Friend's Wedding. Kimmy should have forced her to wear a safety orange potato sack as punishment for all the crap she put her through.**

*Yes, I know, Roberts was maid of honor in the movie, humor me.

** Or, better yet, dump that douchebag Michael...

I know this topic is for fashion, but since we don't have a separate one for hair: I love Julia Roberts' hair in it and in most of her movies. I've always loved this color. I like to look at her in those 90's movies.

Cinderella's first dress is lovely. And my favorite "not the main outfit" dresses are Anna and Elsa's from Olaf's frozen Adventure:

I like the sparkles on her dress, as well as the dewdrop necklace. The crown is a bit much for me, but it does tie the ensemble together, so I accept it for what it is.

For all the Tiana fans, here's a fun video by Moderngurlz on how Tiana is the most stylish Disney princess. I never appreciated the (mostly) period accurate details until now!

[Spartan Girl]

I like Tiana’s official royal wedding dress was better than the magic bayou one, but all her outfits were gorgeous.

@Wiendish Fitch , my favorite thing about Belle's pink dress is the cape.

Oooh, I love it, too! It's so pretty and festive. 

Speaking of which...

While I do hate Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas with a searing passion, I'll grudgingly admit Belle's dress at the end is super cute.

I do love her vintage style. 

I also loved the Frozen wardrobe, both Anna and Elsa's dresses were lovely. I particularly love Anna's ball dress:

That red dress is stunning! And I love the jacket in the 3rd photo. Those sleeves, while impractical for me,(I'd end up getting them caught in drawers or dunked in my tea, that's just how I roll) look great.

There is a stunning purple gown she wears in the new clothes montage but I unfortunately can not find a photo of it.

I had difficulty finding outfit photos from that movie as well.

Another Ginger Rogers dress I've meaning to rave about, from Carefree. It's a bit on the flimsy side, but since it's a dream sequence, I'm willing to overlook it. I love the details, and it really does have a slightly surreal, fairy tale quality to it.

Carefree was released in 1938, and I wonder if Ginger's dress was inspired by Snow White's (that movie was released a year prior). The ankle length skirt, the ribbon in her softly curled hair, the bows on her shoes... eh, maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way, it's so cute!

[Spartan Girl]

Okay, since Thor: Love and Thunder is out on streaming, I want to reiterate how much I loved this ethereal look on Jane:

Queen Latifah always looked amazing in all her clothes. So statuesque.

Everything Everywhere All At Once had brilliant costumes, but my favorite hands down was this masterpiece of a ballgown:

Her character may have been an idiot, but I absolutely loved Kate Hudson’s rainbow dress in Glass Onion.

I know it's not going to look like this, but this is totally how I would have wanted Lucy's rainbow dress in The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds to look. I would guess it's going to be more like ruffled organza, though.

I didn't like it from the picture, but now that I've seen the movie, I agree.  I liked Janelle Monáe's wardrobe even more.

[Spartan Girl]

Lally’s gold dress in Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore was the prettiest outfit in the whole movie

[Shannon L.]

The two Glass Onion dresses I really liked were Andi's long sundresses.  I can't find a good picture of them, so these will have to suffice:

 

 

[Spartan Girl]

I really liked Gal Gadot’s wedding reception ensemble in Death on the Nile, complete with the Tiffany canary diamond necklace.

 

It would look beautiful on anyone, but the woman could make a nun’s habit look fetching.

[DearEvette]

The Death on Nile costume and set design were top tier.  Everyone had beautiful clothes and that boat looked gorgeous.

[Wiendish Fitch]

I recently watched Eddie Murphy: Raw on blu ray, all the better to enjoy his iconic leather outfit in high definition!

I think Murphy, in his 1980s prime, is still the only person who can wear something like this and not look utterly absurd. It takes a staggering level of confidence and je ne sais quoi to decide to wear neck to toe purple leather, and a long scarf (he loses it early on in the concert), and gloves (so 80s! I love 'em)!), and still have people remember your comedy routines decades later, not just your ensemble. You wear something like this not because you think you can pull it off, but because you know you can pull it off. 

And, if I may be so shallow, Murphy cuts a nice silhouette.

Joan Bennett's Christmas dinner dress in We're No Angels (1955) is just lovely. She wears 1890s fashions well!!

[Spartan Girl]

Two outfits from Moulin Rouge that I love. The red dress of course:

And then there’s the rehearsal dress

I love Simone Simon's shimmering dress in All That Money Can Buy (a.k.a The Devil and Daniel Webster).

Spoiler

Her character is literally the Devil's minion, but she makes it look good!

The Affairs of Cellini (1934) is a silly little trifle of a movie that most people haven't seen or even heard of... but if there's one reason to watch, it's Constance Bennett's fabulous wardrobe as the Duchess of Florence. Holy moly, the designers did not half-ass anything!

Iona's pink prom dress in Pretty in Pink before Andy butchered it beyond recognition. Aside from the slippers and the hideous Marge Simpson wig, it was a very cute and simple retro look that manages to pull off the polka dots gracefully.

I really wish I knew what the other pink dress Andie's father bought looked like, because I would've posted that one too.

I agree, Iona's prom dress is adorable. Heck, I think a Zoomer would happily wear it to prom today!

It's rather embarrassing that Not Another Teen Movie is a no-holds-barred parody of, well, teen movies... yet Janey's homemade prom dress is a significantly better, prettier dress than in Pretty in Pink!

Sorry, I had trouble finding a full-length picture.

That actually looks like the dress that Andre’s dad bought her—the one we never actually saw her wear!

[Wiendish Fitch]

I thought Madame Web was awful and truly lived up to all the negative hype. Oh, well, at least Dakota Johnson got to wear cool red leather jacket. 

[Wiendish Fitch]

Ellen Berent-Harland in Leave Her to Heaven is pure, unadulterated evil, her only redeeming traits being her beauty (Gene Tierney was stunning) and her fashion sense.

Inglorious Basterds: Shoshanna’s premiere outfit:

That’s the way to dress for revenge: a black pillbox to honor your fallen, and a red dress to dance on the graves of all the Nazis you are about to burn to the fucking ground! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Say what you want about the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie but the wedding gown was so pretty:

[Bastet]

I might like it without those puffy sleeves.

[Spartan Girl]

The sleeves aren’t that poofy. In my opinion, it’s an example of poofy sleeves done tastefully well.

I concur.

IMO, here's another example of puffed sleeves done well: Claudette Colbert in Midnight (1939). They're like enchanted clouds! They're big, but they don't sag like Mia Wasikowska's in Crimson Peak. They complement the rest of Colbert's dress.

It helps that your seeing it in B&W, so the effect of the poofy sleeves is minimized. In color, it might be a different story.

[Spartan Girl]

Mia W’s wardrobe in Crimson Peak was on the whole horrendous but I did like her ivory ball gown:

Fair point. As I've said, puffed sleeves are a risk, but when they pay off? I think they're adorable. I was looking past my old posts on this thread (I might have a bit of an ego problem) and, aside at how utterly repetitive I am in my descriptions, a lot of ensembles I like do include puffed sleeves. Here's a rundown:
