To dress as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, start with the yellow off-the-shoulder ball gown, then add long gloves, a tiara and a single red rose. The gown does most of the work, so once you have it the rest is detail. It is a favourite for parties, World Book Day and Halloween, and it works just as well for girls as it does for women.

How to get the look: pick your dress first, the yellow ball gown or the blue village dress, then layer on gloves and accessories and finish with an elegant updo and a bold red lip.
The yellow ball gown
Official Disney Belle ball gown
The iconic yellow gown, officially licensed by Disney. This is the piece everyone recognises, so it is the one to get right.
Belle gown with rose and earrings
An off-the-shoulder yellow gown that comes with a red rose and matching earrings, so the look is sorted in one buy.
The blue village dress
For Belle's everyday provincial look, swap the gown for the blue pinafore over a white blouse. It is more relaxed and just as recognisable.
Belle blue village dress
The official blue and white village outfit with the bow, for the bookish provincial look rather than the ballroom one.
Belle for girls
Girls Belle dress, 9-piece set
A complete kids set with the yellow dress plus crown, wand, gloves and jewellery, ideal for World Book Day and birthday parties.
Official Disney Belle for girls
Rubie's officially licensed Belle gem costume, a smart pick if you want the authentic version for a child.
Accessories and finishing touches
Belle accessories set
The small details sell it. This kit gives you the tiara, yellow gloves, necklace, earrings and a rose in one go.
For hair and makeup, go for an updo or soft waves, neutral eyes and a bold red lip. Keep it elegant rather than fussy.

Frequently asked questions
What do you wear for a Belle costume?
The yellow off-the-shoulder ball gown is the key piece. Add long gloves, a tiara and a single red rose, then finish with an elegant updo and a red lip. For her everyday look, swap the gown for the blue village dress over a white blouse.
What colour is Belle's dress?
Belle has two famous outfits: the golden yellow ball gown from the dance scene, and the blue and white village dress she wears in the town. Either one reads instantly as Belle.
Is there a Belle costume for girls?
Yes. You can get the yellow dress on its own or as a full set with a crown, wand, gloves and jewellery, which is popular for World Book Day and birthday parties. Officially licensed Disney versions are also available.
How do you style your hair for Belle?
Sweep the hair up into a soft bun or half-up style with a few loose strands at the front. A small tiara finishes it. Soft waves left down also work if you prefer.
Can you do Belle as a couple?
Yes. Pair the Belle gown with a Beast or prince costume for a two-person look, which works well for themed parties and Halloween.
