There's a new trailer for Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Cinderella, directed by Kenneth Branagh and featuring Cate Blanchett as the Wicked Stepmother. It looks like a glorious drunken rococo pile of satin and chiffon. Which is to say: surprisingly delightful.

Also, it must be said that Helena Bonham Carter as the fairy godmother is genius. How can I get IRL Helena Bonham Carter for my IRL fairy godmother? Please advise.
DISCUSSION
Considering how stunning all the costumes look I can't understand how they got Cindy's dress SO wrong. The original was a very pale blue-gray that I always thought was so elegant. This new one is like a neon Tiffany blue with butterflies (what?) that looks like something a spoiled girl from My Super Sweet 16 would wear to prom.
