How to Look Like a Modern Day Disney Princess

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter chapter.

 Here at Her Campus we all have a secret obsession with Disney, and above all Disney princesses.  Therefore when we heard that Disney would be producing a live action Cinderella, it will come as no surprise that we were beyond excited to go and see one of our favourite timeless classics re-made on the big screen.

Its a film that seems to have it all; Helena Bonham Carter, a drop dead gorgeous prince, shoes and of course the all important breathtaking dress.  We have spent many hours here at Her Campus drooling over this princess perfect gown and wishing we had one of our own, after all who doesn’t secretly wish they could be like a Disney princess? Well we decided to make this dream come true and create our very own modern day disney princess inspired looks that you can wear out and about, and that will make you look and feel like royalty.

Cinderella 

If you dream of finding your prince charming and want to capture Cinderellas iconic effortless style, a short pale blue dress is a must that will guarantee you get swept of your feet by your prince. And of course no Cinderella outfit is complete without some stunning dainty silver sandals to set off the pale blue and make your outfit sparkle. Just make sure you dont lose one of them.
