Very "Coachella in Atlantis."

Rapunzel's Purple Dress and Floral Braid, <i>Tangled</i>

The outfit is pretty basic, but that hair is the stuff Pinterest dreams are made of.

Jasmine's Red Two-Piece, <i>Aladdin</i>

Jasmine might not have picked out this outfit for herself, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Red is definitely her color, and her accessories are on point. Also, that high pony is really framing her face nicely.

Tiana's Fantasy Gown, <i>The Princess and the Frog</i>

Green is a tough color, especially when it comes to formalwear, but Tiana makes (neon) green look good here. Very good.

Belle's Fun-in-the-Snow Outfit, <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>

Belle might spend most of the movie in blue, but red is definitely her color. And just look at the way that white fur collar frames her face. Stunning! Sure, she looks a little freaked out here, but you would too if you suddenly realized you were seriously considering bestiality.

Meg's Lavender Column Dress, <i>Hercules</i>

The word "goddess" comes to mind.

Jasmine's Aqua Co-Ord, <i>Aladdin</i>

Not many women can wear a wide, jeweled headband, statement earrings, and a heavy necklace all at once without becoming overwhelmed by them. Bravo, Jasmine. Bravo!

Merida's Go-to Green Dress, <i>Brave</i>

This is a pretty simple look for Disney — a plain, long-sleeved dress in the perfect shade of blue-green to complement her amazing red hair. When the colors are this striking, you really don't need anything else.

Alice's "Mr. Rabbit's House" Romper, <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>

Sia, eat your heart out!

Elsa's Ice Castle Dress, <i>Frozen<i>

It's pretty cheesy, but the detail work is impressive and props to Elsa for making it herself.

Mulan's Fightin' Dress, <i>Mulan</i>

Mulan's layering game is on point!

12Mulan's Fightin' Dress, Mulan

Alice's Blue Dress and White Apron, <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>

There is nothing Disney princesses love more than a poufy sleeve, but the apron here actually makes these poufs look kind of cool. Also, that hair is everything. I wonder how much Alice spends on extensions?

Pants and flats. So modern!

Pocahontas's Rawhide Minidress, <i>Pocahontas</i>

The one-shoulder silhouette is nice and suede is very hot right now, but that big statement necklace really ages her.

Belle's Everyday Blue and White Look, <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>

It's fine, but it looked better on Alice.

Ariel's DIY Sail-and-Rope Dress, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>

In a word: awful. But it is awful in a high-fashion Comme des Garçons way, which means it's actually kind of amazing. Maybe.

Belle's Yellow Ball Gown, <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>

Not bad considering it was clearly made out of old polyester window treatments. How much do you wanna bet that skirt retracts into a mini when she pulls a cord?

Jasmine's Incognito Peasant Look, <i>Aladdin</i>

Jasmine, I love you, but the next time you try dressing up like a poor person, you may want to leave your giant gold earrings at home.

Jasmine's Purple Wedding Look, <i>Aladdin</i>

While I applaud Jasmine for staying true to herself and choosing a two-piece pants-and-crop-top look for her wedding instead of a traditional gown, that vivid purple is totally washing her out.

Anna's Winter Ensemble, <i>Frozen</i>

Ugh! Too much colorblocking and too many details. Tone it down a little, Anna. And get a better bag while you're at it. I realize that ugly brown sack is big enough to carry all your stuff without ever needing to be cleaned out, but it really doesn't go.

Ariel's Pink Dinner Gown, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>

If you're over the age of 7, pink and poufy is never a good combination. No matter how immature you act. I know you know that's not what forks are for, Ariel.

Cinderella's Maid Outfit, <i>Cinderella</i>

What's the point of doing your hair up all nice when you're dressing like that? You might as well put lipstick on a moose.

Ariel's Daytime Date Dress, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>

Of course Eric is confused, Ariel. You're wearing your corset on top of your dress. A bold styling choice, yes, but dudes don't understand that sort of thing. Especially not dudes who dress like they are about to go wait tables at a fancy fish restaurant.

And Again

Doesn't she own any other day clothes? Honestly, in a different dress, he probably wouldn't even have noticed the tail.

Briar Rose's Peasant Costume, <i>Sleeping Beauty</i>

Again with the whole corset-over-dress look! At least Briar Rose had the good sense to stick to a muted palette. What's up with the bare feet though? I know those fairies are trying to keep her safe by dressing her as a commoner, but even commoners need proper arch support!

Mulan's Matchmaker Hanfu, <i>Mulan</i>

Mulan's extra-long sleeves are super trendy, but trends don't mean anything when you are uncomfortable AF.

Snow White's ... Whatever This Is, <i>Snow White and the Seven Dwarves</i>

What is up with that collar? Is she trying to receive incoming radio transmissions?

Cinderella's Nightgown, <i>Cinderella</i>

Cinderella clearly doesn't want to hear this, but the fact is that is quite possibly the world's ugliest nightgown. How old is she, 60?

Ariel's Nightgown, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>

Wait. I stand corrected. This is the world's ugliest nightgown. Good grief, Ariel! My grandmother wears sexier things to bed and she's dead!

Cinderella's DIY Ball Gown, <i>Cinderella</i>

Where exactly does Cinderella think she's going in this dress? This is what happens when you leave birds and mice to pick out your clothes for you. Cinderella should be glad her stepsisters ripped this DIY nightmare to shreds moments later. It would have been cruel to let her out of the house in it.

Cinderella's DIY Ball Gown (The Remix), <i>Cinderella</i>

It's still not appropriate for a royal ball, but if Cinderella ever finds herself invited to a punk rock garden tea party, she'll have just the thing to wear, so that's something.

Briar Rose's Birthday Dress, <i>Sleeping Beauty</i>

Merryweather (left) and Flora (right) couldn't agree whether Briar Rose's birthday dress should be pink or blue, resulting in the paint-splattered monstrosity seen here. Truly hideous. Worst-dressed-at-the-Grammys hideous.

Briar Rose's "Gettin' Pricked" Look, <i>Sleeping Beauty</i>

Even when it's not a paint-splattered mess, this dress is still hideous, especially with those accessories! So matchy-matchy. And clunky! Blegh! Clearly it takes more than a little magic and a royal pedigree to put together a decent outfit.

I don't care what these trolls say, astro turf and Swarovski crystals do not mix!

Ariel's Wedding Dress, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>

Everything Ariel knows about wedding style she learned from watching reruns of '80s soap operas. Awful. Just Awful!
