More than 70 Spectacular Costumes Spanning
55 Years—from Mary Poppins to this Summer’s Aladdin—Will Be on
Display
The Walt Disney Archives returns to D23 Expo with an all-new
exhibit, “Walt Disney Archives Presents Heroes and Villains: The
Art of the Disney Costume.” From the classic Mary Poppins to this
year’s live-action retelling of Aladdin, more than 70 costumes from
55 years of Disney movies and television shows will be on display
from August 23–25 at the Anaheim Convention Center during the
biennial event, presented by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club.
Guests entering the 12,000-square-foot exhibit will be greeted
by “Cinderella’s Workshop,” a gallery featuring the beloved
fairy-tale character’s dresses from her numerous Disney
incarnations, including 1997’s Rodgers and Hammerstein’s
Cinderella; the gown worn by Scarlett Johansson for Annie
Leibovitz’s 2007 Disney Dream Portrait series; 2014’s Into the
Woods; the 2015 live-action reimagining of the animated masterpiece
Cinderella; and the ABC hit series Once Upon a Time.
The main gallery will be broken into three sections: “Disney
Heroes,” “Disney Villains,” and “Spaces Between,” reserved for the
antiheroes whose fascinating journeys make them among Disney’s most
complex characters.
Among the costumes included in the “Disney Heroes” section are
Belle’s village dress and ballgown from 2017’s Beauty and the
Beast; creations worn by the Genie, Aladdin, and Jasmine in this
year’s live-action Aladdin; and—for the first time ever displayed
together—three iconic Mary Poppins “traveling dresses” worn in
three Poppins productions: the 1964 original film, 2019’s Mary
Poppins Returns, and the Broadway musical. “Disney Villains”
ensembles include the trio of wonderfully wicked witches from
1993’s Hocus Pocus, the duo of dresses worn by the stepsisters in
2015’s Cinderella, and the dress worn by the incomparable Bette
Davis in 1978’s Return from Witch Mountain. And “Spaces Between”
includes Maleficent’s gown from the 2014 film, as well as the Evil
Queen and Hook’s costumes from Once Upon a Time.
The exhibit includes costumes from some of Hollywood’s
preeminent designers, past and present, including Academy
Award®-winners Colleen Atwood, Sandy Powell, and Tony Walton, as
well as Emmy® winner Ellen Mirojnick and Emmy nominees Eduardo
Castro and Penny Rose.
Many of the costumes on exhibit will be featured in The Art of
Disney Costuming: Heroes, Villains, and Spaces Between, a dazzling
new book out this September from Disney Editions. The book will
also be available in advance exclusively at D23 Expo.
