Queen Narissa's Hag costume from Disney's Enchanted...

In Disney's Enchanted, Susan Sarandon plays the duplicitous 'Queen Narissa' and transforms into this 'Hag' character in order to tempt the heroine, 'Giselle', with a traditional poisoned apple.

This costume is a real homage to the old woman (herself the disguised Queen) from Disney classic, Snow White, who tried the same tactics with a deadly apple.

Costume Designer Mona May based this 'live-action' costume on the cloak the disguised Narissa wears in the film's animated opening sequence, when the wicked witch pushes Giselle into a magic portal which transports her to the human world of New York City.

Following in the footsteps of classic animated Disney villains, Susan Sarandon actually had the chance to bring her villainous character, 'Queen Narissa', to life in the animation to live-action 2007 comedy fairytale, Enchanted.

In order to keep her ill-gotten crown, the evil Queen Narissa banishes 'Giselle' (Amy Adams) from the animated kingdom of Andalasia to the very real world of New York City. However, when her evil scheming doesn't go to plan she's forced to travel to the human world and finish the job in person.

Susan Sarandon wore this magical costume when Narissa makes a surprise appearance at the King and Queen's Ball towards the climax of the movie.

The outfit is styled in the tradition of the great Disney villains like the 'Queen' in Snow White and 'Maleficent' from Sleeping Beauty.

The beautifully iridescent gown was designed by Mona May and the scale-like detail incorporated into the dress is due to the fact that Narissa uses her sorceress powers to transform into a fearsome dragon at the end of the movie to try and kill Giselle.

It was fantastic to see this amazingly detailed costume up close as it looked even more impressive in person than on the big screen. The outfit was on display at The American Film Institute showcase of movie villain costumes at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida on September 22, 2010.
