WHAT A QUEEN

someone PLEASE explain how the costume change works! i have watched it on LOOP

@viscountess

The costume is layered. The princess dress is tailored perfectly and is a normal costume with zippers and seams. The travel dress is cut slightly larger to fit over her dress and is probably held together by strong magnets. She walks to her mark on stage where they have either someone reaching through a trapdoor to pull it off, or most likely judging by the speed of the removal, a cable rig in a trapdoor that the dress is quickly attached to that pulls it off. It releases at strategic points where the dress is held together by magnets to give the best reveal and the most fluid movement. You cant see any of this because they cover the bottom half of the stage with mist. Boom. Stage magic!

The only flaw is that no matter how hard you try to alter the cover dress, it will always look slightly bulky and too stuffed on the actress because it’s altered to her shape with the dress over it, not her actual shape.

I once went to a production of Aladdin where Jaffar’s three wishes meant four different costumes on top of each other (regular, sultan, sorcerer, genie). The ripaway location was the throne. The fact that his hat changed each time too, feather included, really stood out.
