She’s in a white sequined dress in the opening shot. And so, I really wanted to fit that storyline, so you see she’s in colors that she would have never have worn before. She really was playing the part and telling herself, okay, now I’m in Auradon. I feel like I really looked to modern day princesses, and so I love the fact that Mal is going through this crisis of her identity now that she’s in Auradon and is wondering how she fits in. Kara Saun: The funny this is, I call Dove my little princess. Mal’s got a very princess-y look in the beginning. You watch them over and over because it’s really important to incorporate their lineage and their heritage into the wardrobe and to also give them own style. I had my own Disney collection of movies that I’ve seen like 1000 times. Like, literally, I looked at original artwork. I always tell people that I went to the Disney vault. ![]() Kara Saun: As a costume designer, that’s where I start. The costumes really do pay homage to their parents. Uma, she has hundreds of seashells, starfish, swords, and skulls on her wardrobe. With Evie, you’ll see the hearts and all the things that represent Evie. If you look closely on Mal, you’ll see little dragons on her shoes, her earrings, on her necklace. I love to tell people that it could almost be a game if you look at all the trinkets on their wardrobes. Kara Saun: Thank you! I have to give a shoutout to Kenny Ortega because you can really see the details. I have to say, Mal, Evie, and Uma’s look from top to bottom are so detailed. I feel like for the kids out there, it’ll be fun for them to recreate these looks and to get the looks of Mal and Evie. So if you look at the shoes and the bags, everything is custom, custom, custom, and embellished. Throughout the movie, because Evie was the little designer of the group, she looked designer head to toe. But for Mal, I would say, oh my gosh, the princess look and the pastel colors and embellished fabrics. It’s a really fun project for kids out there. You can paint a jacket, you can stud a jacket, so that’s really fun to try to kind of do on your own. Everything is custom-made, but if you see the pirates and the background, these are things that you can try to also create yourself from what you have, maybe in your own closet. One fun thing that I really want to promote to all the kids out there is that within the costume design we do a lot of eco-fashion. So if you have a leather jacket, that would totally work. For Mal, she has this princess look in the beginning, then she goes into her iconic Isle look. Kara Saun: You know, with creating Mal and Evie, they have tons of really fun, iconic looks. Their fans are so obsessed with their fashion, so what kind of tips or tricks do you have for people who may want to incorporate elements of Mal, Evie, and Uma into their everyday style? Mal and Evie are huge role models for kids and young adults. talked EXCLUSIVELY with the movie’s costume designer Kara Saun about the advice she has for young designers like Evie, tips to incorporate the Descendants into your wardrobe, and more!
