It’s a big moment in the film, Cinderella’s first dance with the Prince. Clearly they’re all watching The Prince right? What did you think? The costumes still blow me away. Sandy Powell is a costuming genius. Previously: Cinderella meets her future Stepmother clip.

A little rain could not dampen the spirits of Disney’s Cinderella world premiere last night. Just like at the Oscars the El Capitan erected a big tent to cover the stat studded red carpet and the show went on as planned.
Many of the guests came dressed for a ball of Cinderella proportions too. Lily James, who plays the title character, looked stunning in her dress. Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera held up their end of the deal as the step-sisters as well. Plus Cate Blanchett looks fantastic as always.

Disney’s live action Cinderella promises to be a wonderful remake of the classic animated fairy tale we’re all familiar with. From those who have already seen the film, we hear that Cate Blanchett makes a wonderfully wicked stepmother, in fact, her grand entrance is a real piece of work.
Watch what happens with Cinderella meets Lady Tremaine, her future stepmother, for the first time.
Yes, that’s a cat on a leash. Cinderella dances into theaters March 13th.
