Every red carpet gown with a corset and a cape owes something to a cartoon princess.

Disney’s animated heroines have been dictating hemlines, necklines and color palettes for decades, and TheThings Celebrity’s video “10 Fashion Trends Inspired By Disney Princesses” breaks down exactly how. The rundown traces ten specific silhouettes and details straight from the studio’s animated catalog into modern runway collections and red carpet moments. It’s less nostalgia trip than style audit — showing how Cinderella, Belle, Elsa, Ariel and company have quietly been on every mood board for years.

• The video identifies ten distinct trends, from ball gowns modeled on Cinderella’s silver-blue dress and Belle’s golden gown to mermaid-cut dresses referencing Ariel’s tail.
• Elsa’s icy wardrobe from “Frozen” is cited as the direct inspiration for the dramatic cape trend now showing up on runways and red carpets.
• Tiara and jewel-encrusted headbands, off-the-shoulder necklines borrowed from Aurora and Belle, and statement footwear referencing the glass slipper round out the breakdown.

The Ball Gown Blueprint

Nothing in the video gets more screen time than the ball gown, and for good reason — it’s the trend designers keep returning to. Cinderella’s baby-blue gown and Belle’s gold dress from “Beauty and the Beast” are singled out as the two silhouettes that keep resurfacing in voluminous, full-skirted formalwear. The corset-and-bodice detailing that both princesses wear underneath gets its own mention too, tying structured tops to the swelling skirts below.

It’s the same instinct that shows up whenever a red carpet gown makes headlines for sheer scale — the kind of dramatic dressmaking covered in The Most Expensive Royal Wedding Dresses, where volume and craftsmanship do the talking.

Crowns, Capes And Cold Weather Glamour

Two accessories anchor the video’s middle stretch: the tiara and the cape. Jewel-encrusted headbands are framed as a direct descendant of the crowns every Disney Princess wears, now reworked as everyday accessories rather than costume pieces. The cape trend gets credited specifically to Elsa’s icy wardrobe in “Frozen” — a look the video says has translated into dramatic outerwear on both runways and red carpets, ranging from full sweeping capes to smaller, subtler versions.

Elsa’s icy wardrobe in “Frozen” is the direct line the video draws to the dramatic cape trend now turning up on runways.

Necklines, Color And Cut

The video spends real time on shape and palette. Off-the-shoulder necklines get traced back to Aurora and Belle, while pastel color-blocking is pinned on Snow White and Rapunzel’s costume palettes. Then there’s the mermaid-cut dress, lifted straight from Ariel’s tail, plus sheer fabrics the video frames as fashion’s attempt to mimic literal fairytale magic on the body.

Finishing Touches

Rounding out the list is footwear — statement shoes built around the idea of Cinderella’s glass slipper, proof that even a throwaway plot device from a 1950 animated film can still shape what’s on shelves. Taken together, the ten trends make the video’s larger point: designers and celebrities aren’t pulling from Disney’s catalog once in a while, they’re doing it continuously, feeding runway collections and red carpet looks alike.

The video doesn’t rank the trends, but the throughline is clear — capes and mermaid cuts are having their moment right now, and if Elsa’s wardrobe keeps showing up on runways the way it’s described here, don’t be surprised if the next red carpet season leans even further into ice-queen drama.
