Flawless. Furthermore, it was renowned enough to spur a Met Gala imitation years later.

#2 Ariel’s Iconic Shell Bra and Fishtail, The Little Mermaid

Coachella in Atlantis!

#3 Rapunzel’s Purple Dress and Floral Braid, Tangled

Rapunzel’s long hair is indeed a highlight of the character, but many can’t take their eyes off her purple dress. It seems to be made from silk and is absolutely suitable for the princess.

#4 Moana’s Adventure Outfit, Moana

This is the ideal clothing for a seafaring excursion, from her beach waves to the color scheme.

#5 Jasmine’s Red Two-Piece, Aladdin

Although Jasmine may not have chosen this gown herself, her stylist put in extra attention on it. She obviously favors the color red, and her accessories are elegant.

#6 Tiana’s Fantasy Gown, The Princess and the Frog

Green is a challenging hue, particularly when it comes to formal attire, but Tiana pulls off (neon) green here.

#7 Meg’s Lavender Column Dress, Hercules

Goddess is the term that springs to mind.

#8 Jasmine’s Aqua Co-Ord, Aladdin

Few women are able to simultaneously wear a thick necklace, striking earrings, and a broad headband covered with jewels without seeming overpowered. Well done, Jasmine. Bravo!

#9 Ariel’s Sparkle Dress, The Little Mermaid

This outfit would make any '90s pop star ready for the red carpet envious. She is poised to provide a ballad performance at the Grammys.

#10 Merida’s Go-To Green Dress, Brave

A simple, long-sleeved dress in the ideal shade of blue-green to go with her trademark red hair is a very basic style for Disney. In a situation like this, further elements are actually not necessary.

#11 Elsa’s Ice Castle Dress, Frozen

For an ice queen, it was really obvious. Praise for aspiring designer Elsa for producing it herself goes to the detail work, which is outstanding.

#12 Mulan’s Fightin’ Dress, Mulan

Mulan plays the layering game perfectly!

#13 Alice’s Blue Dress and White Apron, Alice in Wonderland

Nothing delights Disney princesses more than a puffy sleeve, although in this case, the apron gives the poufs a somewhat chilly appearance. That hair is also everything. I'm curious about Alice's extension budget.

#14 Mulan’s Training Uniform, Mulan

Yas, neutrals, come through!

#15 Pocahontas’s Minidress, Pocahontas

The one-shoulder silhouette is attractive, and suede is currently quite fashionable. Major props go to the statement necklace, too.

#16 Belle’s Everyday Blue and White Look, Beauty and the Beast

She and Alice are both adorable, but they could compete in a Who Wore It Best contest.

#17 Ariel’s DIY Sail and Rope Dress, The Little Mermaid

At first sight, awful. However, it is terrible in a Comme des Garçons-esque sense, which makes it kind of fantastic. Right?

#18 Belle’s Yellow Ball Gown, Beauty and the Beast

Not bad given that it was obviously constructed from vintage polyester window coverings.

#19 Ariel’s Daytime Date Dress, The Little Mermaid

She was much ahead of her time by wearing a corset over her dress. A bold choice in hair accessories to go along with the daring decision in style. Any princess wouldn't be able to pull this look off.

#20 Jasmine’s Incognito Peasant Look, Aladdin

The enormous gold earrings really transform this outfit. She may not be the best at avoiding detection, but she sure does look fly.

#21 Anna’s Winter Ensemble, Frozen

Give me color-blocking or freeze to death, said Anna! (They actually sort of gave her both.)

#22 Briar Rose’s Peasant Costume, Sleeping Beauty

It appears to be highly common to wear a corset over a dress. Briar Rose at least stayed with a subdued colour theme to mix things up a little.

#23 Cinderella’s DIY Ball Gown, Cinderella

Considering her incredibly good track record, I wouldn't say this is her strongest appearance. Cinderella should be grateful that her stepsisters smashed this do-it-yourself horror shortly after. To have allowed her to leave the home in it would have been cruel. You have to be honest!

#24 Briar Rose’s Birthday Dress, Sleeping Beauty

Fairies Briar Rose's birthday outfit ended up looking like this because Merryweather and Flora couldn't decide whether it should be pink or blue.

#25 Cinderella’s DIY Ball Gown (The Remix), Cinderella

Although still inappropriate for a royal ball, Cinderella will be prepared if she ever receives an invitation to a punk-rock garden party.
