Disney fans were treated to a first look at Emma Watson as Belle in the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast over the weekend.
During Disney’s D23 fan celebration, attendees were treated to a clip of the film, which led one twitter user to share photos of the actress seemingly in character. Wearing that yellow dress, Emma looks perfect as a real life version of the cartoon princess - she truly is the belle of the ball. While these photos were revealed as (pretty incredible) fan art, they certainly give us an idea of what Emma could look like as Belle.
Emma Watson said the role was a "dream come true" and that "We have had an unbelievable time shooting Beauty and the Beast...I can't wait for the film to release in 2017".
Now we just need some official pics of Dan Stevens as the Beast, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere the candlestick, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth the clock, and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts. Stanley Tucci is also set to feature in the live action feature, currently filming in London, as a new character named Cadenza the piano.
