This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WPUNJ chapter.

2. Belle is Disney’s first brunette princess. Hair Flip emoji*

3. Belle is the second Disney princess that is not of royal descent. Cinderella is the first.

6. Willow Steves, 5, advised Emma Watson on the design of Belle’s famous yellow dress.
