Four different designs for “Beauty and the Beast” (Disney version): They all feature Belle in a blue, aproned dress for the opening, and Belle in a yellowish golden dress, and the Beast in a royal blue suit/tailcoat for the epic dance scene. But within that there are variations. The main difference in design ideas seems to be which century they set the story in. The animated version from 1991 (row 1), as well as the original Broadway production and those to follow (row 2), set the story in the mid 19th century, with wide crinoline skirts and corseted bodices for the ladies, and tailcoat for the beast. Later versions has explored the 18th century for the design as well, as was done in Germany and Italy (row 3) as well as Denmark (row 4). Of these the Italian/German one is my definite favourite. The costume designer Miguel Angel Huidor totally knew what’s essential to the 18th century, and managed to make it period plausible while still taking place in a fantasy world - AND making it look splendid. 1. and 2.
