Concepcion stressed how crucial it was to incorporate the actress’s personal style. “It’s a different Belle, it’s a sexy Belle, it’s coming into her own woman,” she explained, defining Mariano’s portrayal of the now.
Accessorized with diamond accents from LVNA, Mariano’s dress shimmered with a brilliance fit for a princess. “What is fantasy without some frost? They’ll be wearing diamonds to add sparkle and magic into her look,” Concepcion underscores the captivating charm of these icy adornments.
Working alongside Mariano proved to be a joyous collaboration for the stylist, who praised the actress’s humility and openness to creative ideas. “It’s very collaborative. It’s such a breeze working for her,” she shares, highlighting Mariano’s receptive spirit and collaborative ethos.
Concepcion drew inspiration from the actress’s innate stylishness and fashion-forward sensibilities when translating Mariano’s everyday style into the embodiment of Belle. “When you stalk them on Instagram and you see her everyday outfits, it’s so chic,” she noted, pointing out Mariano’s relevant trendiness.
