The look, though perhaps not quite as iconic as that yellow ball gown, is nonetheless memorable. When Emma Watson brings the bookworm heroine to life in the live-action remake, she'll revamp Belle's dresses too.
Disney recently shared another look of the new Beauty and the Best with sketches of the set and costumes, including Belle's blue-and-white apron outfit. The drawings for Watson's dress turns out to be a little grungier than the original, paired with boots and even a few dish towels strung at the belt instead of Belle's dainty basket. Her perfectly bowed updo is also transformed into a loose pony, making her look even more realistic.
