20. Cinderella & Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita Nyong’o without a doubt used Cinderella as her inspiration for her look at the 2014 Oscars. The powder blue dress popped fabulously against her skin tone and the soft updo with a dainty headband perfectly replicated Cinderella’s iconic look.

19. Snow White & Olivia Palermo

We can’t help but compare Olivia Palermo’s look for the 2014 British Fashion Awards to Snow White’s iconic yellow dress. Olivia’s satin skirt perfectly mimicked Snow White’s signature look and her black cap sleeve top acted as a modern alternative to Snow White’s navy puff sleeve bodice.

There’s an uncanny resemblance between Adele’s Givenchy Grammy dress from 2017 and Princess Anna’s classic green dress from Frozen. The rich shade of green and the directional pattern of both their looks appear remarkably similar! Adele even wore her hair in a loose updo just like Princess Anna.

While Eva Mendes’ look isn’t an identical match to Pocahontas, we can definitely draw some comparisons. The sleek white dress with ruffles certainly resembles Pocahontas’ feathered dress, but the true point of comparison is both of their chunky blue necklaces!

Heidi Klum definitely channeled her inner Princess Jasmine when she stepped out on the red carpet to attend the Emmys in 2012.

8. Cinderella & Blake Lively

Blake Lively was a real-life Cinderella when she graced the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. Her ruffled tulle skirt had a true fairytale-like quality about it and the wispy hairstyle Lively opted for further proved that Cinderella was her inspiration behind the look.

7. Rapunzel & Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley has definitely tested out quite a few different hairstyles throughout the years! One of her most memorable hairstyles is when she had long flowing blond tresses, similar to Rapunzel’s! We can’t help but make the comparison between the two, especially given how closely Knightley’s purple and gold dress resembles Rapunzel’s iconic dress.

6. Ariel & Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough totally resembled a mermaid when she stepped out at the 2012 Primetime Emmys wearing this aquamarine dress that featured a corset bodice and dramatic beaded skirt. The skirt of Hough’s dress appeared nearly identical to Ariel’s shimmering tail, which is why we definitely think she had The Little Mermaid in mind when planning out her look for this event.

4. Elsa & Kate Middleton

It’s definitely an epic fashion moment when a real-life Royal steps out wearing something inspired by a Disney Princess! That’s exactly what happened when Kate Middleton stepped out wearing this shimmering icy blue dress in 2017.
