SPL’s Movie Era 🎬 THE PRINCESS DIARIES (2001)

“Okay… you know what? I don’t feel protected. You try living for 15 years thinking that you’re one person, and then in five minutes, you find out that you’re a princess. You know what, just in case I’m not enough of a freak already, let’s add a tiara!”

The Portrait of a Lady / Nicole Kidman as Isabel Archer

I've never seen this movie, and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere for streaming or even for rent! But the pictures of this dress intrigued me, and I did find a good analysis of the costumes over at Frockflicks. It looks like Isabel wears a good deal of white in the early part of the movie and moves into darker colors as the story progresses; this dress, then, would represent the beginning of darkness creeping into her life, story, and wardrobe. The vine-y patterns, while beautiful, do give a feeling of snaking in to entangle her. And maybe the parasol is like a spiderweb?

...But of course, if you ignore the symbolism, it's quite a pretty dress! And the parasol makes it extra-striking. The costumes were designed by Janet Patterson, who also designed The Piano, among other films.

If you understood, you could not talk of owing debt. Sam is a part of me and I’m a part of Sam, forever and ever. And it was long ago, when I was very young, that I learned that. But it was true and nothing can change it.
