Speaking with
Entertainment Weekly, Scott says, “
The main conversation is structure versus freedom that I think is obviously is the metaphor for her journey as a character. If she’s wearing something that’s structured and beautiful, it can’t just be the sake of it looking great, it needs to be connected to the story.”
Jasmine (Naomi Scott) is seen here with her handmaiden Dalia (Nasim Pedrad), an original character for the movie, while sporting her classic turquoise outflit. Costume designer Michael Wilkinson breaks it down, “
We talked a lot about the iconography and imagery that would be relevant to the character and we really love the idea of this peacock motif. We talked about Jasmine as being trapped in a golden cage — she has to live by the rules of this court but she’s struggling to do things her own way and find her own power … she really wants to support and fight for her country and have a sense of freedom.”
With a desire to see what's going on outside her palace walls, Jasmine (Naomi Scott) wears something a little more casual. This scene is likely moments before she meets the street rat Aladdin (Mena Massoud). Scott says, “
What was very important was that I can move in it because obviously she goes on the run. There’s this balance of feeling that it’s from the royal household but obviously it’s not royalty.”
Scott goes full princess here as potential suitors flock to the palace to impress her, "
This was the one time for this moment it felt right to have that corset, it completely straightens her up and it’s the first time we see her going from running around in the mud with Aladdin to being absolutely wow … so the outfit was very uncomfortable but incredibly impressive and worth it.”
Scott goes for a classic look here as she's wooed by the mysterious Prince Ali (Mena Massoud), “
The color and the material and the detail just brings it into a whole different world. That’s where you get the things that clash and come together and create something new, so that’s what I loved about this outfit.”
The Genie (Will Smith) coaches Aladdin (Mena Massoud) on how to be a prince and how to act like royalty, which should make for a comical experience for the viewing audience.
