Fashions of the Coronation of the Good Queen Regina
I’ve been inundated with requests to talk about the costumes in this scene. I do intend to write longer posts about the more interesting pieces once higher-resolution screen caps appear, but I thought it would also be fun to do a sort of red-carpet rundown review of the costumes at the coronation. A thousand thanks to @queen-mabs-revenge who provided the screen caps!
Robin, that’s a very cute dress, but maybe the spaghetti straps are a touch casual for your aunt’s coronation? I do appreciate the necklace, though, it’s very you but appropriate for the venue.
Alice, YOUR DRESS IS SO PRETTY I WANT TO SCREAM. Seriously, I was hoping and hoping for more high-res images from this scene specifically for this dress. The color is gorgeous, so is the texture, and the neckline is the perfect shape for her. Also you two are wearing matching jewelry and it’s kind of adorbs.
Wish!Hook, I wish you’d worn a tie. I’m actually kind of relieved you showed up in a suit but some color would have been nice. You’re not the Piratical Prince of Darkness anymore.
Special shoutout to Geppetto in the next row, because I love Tony Amendola.
There will be more words about this later. I just want to say that I had heard spoilers about Emma wearing the jacket over a gown and thought it was incredibly dumb, but this is honestly kind of adorable.
Her: Disappointed that we didn’t see the ballgown from 7.01 again. My love for it knows no bounds. This is nice, though. Fits her well and the bling is appropriate.
Him: Not bad. It’s a nice-looking suit but I’d have liked a more colorful tie. But, um, not the tie on the guy behind him.
Lucy: is adorable as always. This dress is pretty much perfect. The lace is impeccable, and the style and styling are very appropriate for her age.
Ella: Yeah, I still like that dress from this angle too.
Emma: HOLY COW, COULD THEY NOT HAVE GOTTEN A DRESS THAT WASN’T FALLING OFF YOUR CHEST, HONEY.
Hook: WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE A PIRATE PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVEN’T REGRESSED YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO SPITS UP DO YOU WANT HER SPITTING UP ON LEATHER I DIDN’T THINK SO.
Regina: Yeah, best dressed in this frame, even though there are some criticisms to come.
Seriously, that dress is just hanging off her.
Her: Love. Looks better than its original appearance.
Him: Love. Looks better than its original appearance.
The collar really needed to go. (The lace ruffles at the sleeve hems also needed to go.) And I think this shot nicely highlights what felt off about this dress compared to the EQ gowns. The EQ gowns had shoulder pads. On this one the line between sleeve and bodice is kind of awkward.
Tiana, this dress is so much more flattering than anything you wore previously in this season. I love it. Would have liked to see it with the Sabine hair, though.
I always hated this gown, but I suppose they didn’t have a more festive look available in Zelena’s wardrobe.
Aww, Smee looks surprisingly fancy. And there’s Blue not in that awful costume I want to light on fire.
And that’s a wrap! Details on select costumes to come!
