The Disney Princesses at Harrods

Hold onto your glass slippers and tiaras! Something magical is taking place this Christmas at Harrod's Department Store. They've collaborated with Disney and every window at Harrod's will be transformed into a princess theme this holiday season. If you're in London, definitely take your little one. Harrods even has a Disney pop-up boutique within the famous department store. Each window will showcase a different Disney princess wearing gorgeous designer gowns. Harrod's enlisted top designers to re-envision the gowns worn by the original princesses. Fashion designers and powerhouses Marchesa, Elie Saab, Donatella Versace, Valentino, Escada, Missoni, Roberto Cavalli, Jenny Packham, Oscar de la Renta, and Ralph & Russo have created "new" and "updated" looks for our beloved princesses. The dreamy sketches are below, and the attached video shows these designs come to life. Do you have a favorite?

Cinderella - Donatella Versace
Harrods - "'You shall go to the ball', in a stunning contemporary interpretation complete with golden layers, a tiara, a bold statement-necklace and of course, glass slippers – emblazoned with the iconic Versace medusa motif."
Ariel - The Little Mermaid - Marchesa
Harrods - "A chic and elegant deep blue silk evening gown has been beautifully crafted to combine luxurious draped fabrics, which perfectly embody modern feminine style – capturing Ariel’s adventurous under-the-sea spirit." 

Aurora - Sleeping Beauty - Elie Saab
Harrods - "Encapsulating the natural grace and innocence of Aurora, this beautiful gown in pale pink is embellished with scattered exquisite beading."


Belle - Beauty and The Beast - Valentino
Harrods - "A fantasy-like dress in silk chiffon with a sheer hooded cape and layers of exquisite pleats, is accessorised with bespoke signature studded flats and a silver flower bag."

Jasmine - Aladdin - Escada
Harrods - "An exotic fuchsia silk chiffon gown encompasses the fiery beauty of Jasmine, complete with an extravagant golden flower belt."


Mulan - Missoni
Harrods - "A land of silk and jade has inspired this oriental kimono-style dazzling creation, that features bold turquoise shades and red detailing."

Pocahontas - Roberto Cavalli
Harrods - "Featuring soft, golden and natural earthy colours, this gown incorporates prints evocative of dream catchers with pearl detailing. The lightness of a feather and the wings of a butterfly, it is perfect for a princess in love with freedom."

Rapunzel - Jenny Packham
Harrods - "A magical dress in pale grey adorned with incredible beading that should never be locked away."


Tiana - The Princess and The Frog - Ralph & Russo
Harrods - "A dream come true, this mint evening gown with a sweetheart neckline and mesh overlay, features scattered crystals that cascade into a layered tulle skirt."

Snow White -Oscar de la Renta
Harrods - "'Someday your prince will come…' This silk gown is divine with intricate embroidery across the bodice and a floor-sweeping cape in signature red."

  2. Such beautiful dresses! I like the sketches too. Sleeping beauty's dress looks the loveliest in the video, but Ariel was always my favourite Disney princess! :)

  4. Jasmine was always my favorite but I'm not crazy a bout her outfit by Escada. My favorite is probably Tatiana's - I love the light seafoam color!

  18. I SO wish I had a Harrods to see this in person. I think Bergdorf Goodman is doing something similar but these images are much more like the original princess. Belle is still my favorite :)

  19. Oh, I wish I lived in London. I adore this. I was scrolling the sketches going "This is my favorite. No, this one's better" haha. I think Sleeping beauty's is my favorite, but the color of Jasmine's in the video is stunning.

  40. OH MY GOD. You have no idea how much I'm freaking out right now. I've been anticipating this post by seeing teasers of it on instagram and it's every bit as fabulous as I hoped!

    I love all these designs, but I think my favorite is Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. And that video is freaking MAGICAL.
