Legend is a visually beautiful movie. I understand why it flopped but I love it anyway. If you love classic fairy tale movies with true love and good triumphing over evil or hey, just great sets and costumes, this is the movie for you.
But yes, speaking of costumes... Could Princess Lili (Mia Sara) look any more like she stepped right out of a Grimm fairy tale?

| Fine details with an interesting headpiece. |
The ivory is perfect for a classic princess. Director Ridley Scott said she was inspired by the original Disney Princesses, Snow White in particular (good choice too). It's easy to see- she radiates a natural beauty, innocence, and grace, as befits a fantasy princess. The ivory plays up her innocent personality (but don't think she's perfect- she certainly had some hidden depths). The gold accents speak of her royal heritage. The ringlets are pretty and regal, especially when they've come down after the goblins kidnap her. Messy curls are great, what can I say?

| Hard to see the shoes, but they appear to be red flats with some other light color. I'm not sure they're actually open-toed sandals as I'd originally thought. |

| Simple bead earrings that don't distract from the splendid details of the overall dress. |
The makeup is also simple and clean: "natural", just touching up on undereye circles, as little as possible, with peachy lips and groomed eyebrows.
But let's not even get started at the hideous makeover the Lord of Darkness gives her.

| They even got matching unibrows! |
