Carrie Underwood Dresses As Princess Belle For ‘American Idol’s’ Disney Night
The iconic singing competition show has been pulling out some fun themed nights and episodes over the course of the current season. However, this week’s special episode might just be a new fan-favorite and take the cake as a highlight of the year.
This Monday, the show hosted a Disney-themed episode, where the contestants and judges alike channeled some childlike and whimsical energy. Contestants sang songs from some of the brand’s most famous movies, and the “Before He Cheats” singer reciprocated with an elaborate costume, showing up her co-workers Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. For the evening, Carrie decided to dress as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, one of the most recognized Disney princesses out there.
She stepped out in a recreation of the famous princess’s large yellow ballgown with a ruffled skirt and off-shoulder sleeves. Completed with little embellishments throughout the bottom of the ballgown, Carrie also wore a Belle-inspired hairdo with a half-up-half-down style, wearing half her blonde locks in a bun and the others down and wavy. Polishing off her look with some yellow and silver jewelry, the vocalist was certainly a standout during the Disney episode.
