This past weekend, Vogue World: Hollywood celebrated Disney’s longstanding impact on film, artistry, fashion, and culture by honoring the power of costume design in cinema and its role in character storytelling with several dedicated runway, talent, and guest moments. For decades, both Disney and Vogue have driven thought-provoking, moving, and unparalleled storytelling. It was truly a celebratory moment to spotlight Disney as a pioneer of fashion on a global stage.
“Disney’s enduring impact on fashion and film has long been captured through the lens of creative visionaries across genres,” said Tasia Filippatos, President of Disney Consumer Products. “Our multi-generational influence was on full display at Vogue World: Hollywood where we paid tribute to some of our most iconic costumes with a nod to our future storytelling aspirations in fashion.”
Liz Shortreed, Senior Vice President, Americas & Global Softlines, Disney Consumer Products, added, “As one of fashion’s most anticipated global events, Vogue World spotlights the intersection of fashion, arts, and culture in a new city each year. With this year’s theme being Hollywood, and honoring the connection between film and fashion, the collaboration with Vogue offered a powerful platform to celebrate Disney’s legacy and future role in fashion.”
A spectacular piece from the groundbreaking 2018 Marvel Studios film Black Panther opened Act 6: Afrofuturism. The look was originally created for the film by Ruth Carter, and reimagined for this event by Balmain’s creative Director, Olivier Rousting.
A show-stopping creation by Disney Legend Colleen Atwood from the 2010 Disney film Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was featured in Act 2: The Renegades. The look featured a waistcoat, jacket, and trousers and was created using a mixture of materials including milliner’s velvet, Italian silk, and wool, and was originally worn by Disney Legend Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.
The unmistakable, otherworldly suit from Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands opened Act 2: The Renegades and was created by Colleen Atwood and rebuilt for Vogue World: Hollywood. Originally worn by Johnny Depp in the 1990 20th Century Studios film, the look was composed of both new and vintage leather, and hardware. The hands were recreated by Legacy Effects who also made the original hands in the film. This look was also reimagined by Alexander McQueen’s Seán McGirr who created a look inspired by the original.
In 2012, Christian Louboutin unveiled a reinterpretation of Cinderella’s glass slipper, a lace pump covered in crystals and adorned by two dreamy butterflies, featuring the unmistakably iconic red sole. This one-of-a-kind creation was hand-carried down the runway.
Natalia Bryant wore a collectable, vintage-inspired ‘Disney Heart Hands’ Re/DONE T-shirt from its latest collection as a nod to global icon, Mickey Mouse. “Growing up going to Disneyland with my family, I am so excited to join Disney and Vogue for such a special night. Mickey Mouse is not only an ultimate muse but the original movie star,” said Bryant. Mickey Mouse is a leading figure of joy, creativity, and self-expression, as well as a pioneer of personal style. He has forever inspired the greatest creative artists and talent of our time.
Additional Disney guests in attendance included Halle Bailey, India Shawn, and Yendry.
“Disney and Vogue have each shaped culture through unparalleled storytelling and creativity, and Disney has always played an enormous role and influence within film, fashion, and culture,” Shortreed said. “With film in particular, costume design has always been an enormous part of a character’s story. For decades, we’ve seen the long-term impact it has had with looks being reinterpreted on red carpets and on runways.”

For this year’s Vogue World event, 100% of ticket proceeds went to the Entertainment Community Fund, with a focus on supporting costume community professionals impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. When fires spread across Los Angeles in January 2025, The Walt Disney Company committed $15 million for relief and rebuilding efforts, supporting the community, its employees and vital organizations offering essential services on the ground. As part of that commitment, Disney supported the Entertainment Community Fund to help entertainment industry workers who were displaced by the fires. Disney also invited employees, production crew, and their families who lost their homes to its wardrobe warehouse in North Hollywood to collect clothing and shoes from recent Disney film and TV productions at no expense. Disney continues to help in ways that only Disney can, and its commitment to the greater Los Angeles region remains strong as wildfire recovery continues.
“Vogue World: Hollywood provides a powerful platform for Disney to continue that commitment by uniting its creative community and global influence to support wildfire relief efforts in a way that only Disney can. Knowing that this event would showcase continued support for the LA community made it all the more meaningful,” said Shortreed.
