Writers accomplished that by giving the Disney princess an empowering new backstory in the 2017 remake: she's an inventor, just like her father. But her wardrobe also helps bring the message across.
Belle's look in the opening scene has some major upgrades, costume designer Jacqueline Durran told WWD. Instead of heeled pumps, she wears boots. Her apron doubles as a tool belt. She occasionally tucks her skirt into her waistband so she can freely roam in her bloomers.
From the start, Watson didn't want her Belle to be a corseted, impossible idea of female beauty. So they removed the corset from her iconic yellow ballgown, and replaced it with a flexible bodice. Nothing she wears is inhibiting, Durran explained. She can do whatever she would want to do in any of her costumes. She rides a horse.
Beauty And The Beast 2: Emma Watson On How A Sequel Would Work
Though active-friendly, the dress is still an intricate and delicate piece—it took 10 people and 238 hours to create. They tested multiple yellow fabrics before finding the right shade, embellished the gown in feathers, gold leaf and glitter, and completed the look with hand-painted 18th century heels (that are comfortable enough to run in), Durran previously told
. The team also replaced most of the cage under Belle's voluminous skirt with layers of organza so it was lighter and easier to move in.
Even Watson's environmentally conscious style played into the costumes. According to Durran, Belle's deep red cloak—from the snowy Something There sequence—was crafted from eco-sustainable and organic material. Leftover blocks from the stage set were recycled and used to print patterns on the cape.

The Ending of Barbie, Explained The True Story Behind Oppenheimer It’s Barbie’s World. Here’s How They Made It. 23 of the Best True-Crime Movie AdaptationsIn this version, Belle is not only a bookworm but also an inventor -- she uses her inventions for everyday chores such as laundry, which in turn provides her with time to catch up on her reading. Her backstory with Maurice will also be expanded upon, as this version of the story confirms the death of her mother.
As a result of his wife's passing, Maurice is somewhat overprotective of Belle and has reservations over her dream of experiencing adventures.
Belle and Maurice are given significant backstory explaining why they moved to the village in the first place (Every morning just the same/Since the morning that we came/To this poor provincial town) and why Belle has a missing Mom. They lived in Paris until a plague killed the mother. Maurice became desperate to protect Belle and thus they moved to the small, safe village. This also provides an alternate reason for Maurice setting out in the first place; his music boxes are sold at an out-of-town market once a year.
Beauty And The Beast First Look: Emma Watson Is A Vision In Belle's Celebration Dress
Belle is an intelligent, cultured woman creative enough to invent the impromptu washing machine... and this is why almost no one in the village likes her even though she's nice to everyone. (The exceptions are Père Robert, Monsieur Jean and Agatha/The Enchantress).
While Gaston is obsessed with marrying her, it's only because she is the most beautiful woman in the village; he sees her as just another prize to claim now that his Glory Days of War are over and has no respect for her as a person.
Belle truly defines herself. She is a very intelligent young woman, due to her love of books, providing her a wide vocabulary, activate imagination and open mind... she’s an endless dreamer in simple words. Belle is very confident and doesn't often listen to the others, she’s not afraid of speaking her own thoughts. She’s a very independent woman and doesn’t like to be controlled by any man. Loves to take care of people in need and frequently dreams about a life of adventure and romance. Belle is able to look past how people appear and into their hearts.
Emma Watson Says Belle Doesn't Have Stockholm Syndrome In
In the film, Belle dreams of adventure, she has also stated that she also wishes for a friend who accepts her for who she really is and not for her appearance. This is because everyone in town criticizes her for doing her own thing and they do not understand why which makes her feel like she does not fit in. However, despite this, even when people gave her a hard time she never changed, but came to a better understanding of herself. This made the biggest difference when she broke the spell and charmed the Beast just by being herself.

Emma Watson's 'beauty And The Beast' Costumes Reflect A Modern Belle
It's interesting, actually, the last day that we finished on set was the anniversary of the day I was cast as Hermione, she said.
Someone had sent me an email to say that. I felt this strange sense of completion or full circle. I did feel they were spiritually linked in some way, for sure.
It's true that like Hermione, Belle is educated and bookish - in this iteration of the story she's not just an assistant to her inventor father but even invents things herself, including a donkey-powered washing machine in order to allow herself more time to read.

But of course, the fact that she's so interested in literacy and she loves books and the fact that she's so independent-minded – all of these things made me feel close to her and made me feel I could find a way into her and understand her, for sure.
Talking of her own love of books, Emma went on: I think it helped at times when I felt very confused by the world around me, and at times overwhelmed by the world around me.
It's helped me make sense of things. At other times, books have served as an escape. At other times, books have served almost as a friend.

For me, they're utterly sacred. I think when I was younger, I probably took them for granted a lot more than I do now.
There's something about being forced to read something when you're at school that takes all the fun out of it. But when you don't have to anymore, then that's all you want— well, that's what I've found, anyway. That's all I want to do.
The Beast in our movie is highly educated, he said. In the animated film, he's illiterate. That really informed every scene with Dan, because he could really go toe to toe with her.

She’s about to star as the heroine of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, but post-Potter she has received more plaudits for her activism than her acting
I t may seem strange that one of the most anticipated films of 2017 should be a live-action remake of a Disney cartoon about Stockholm syndrome, but Beauty and the Beast has already built up the kind of fan base that is normally reserved for rebooted sci-fi franchises and adaptations of erotic bestsellers. When the first trailer went online in November, it was viewed a record 127m times in 24 hours, beating the previous leaders in that particular field, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Fifty Shades Darker. Stranger still, 27m of those views were on the Facebook page of the film’s star,
