Remaking a classic movie is no easy task, especially when it’s living up to Disney standards. But so far, official stills of the 2017 Beauty and the Beast reproduction prove a rousing hit among fans and trendspotters alike, enamoured and inspired by Belle’s modern, iconic dresses as channeled by Emma Watson.
