* In ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast|2017}}'', Mme. de Garderobe doesn't just offer Belle a fancy dress to wear to dinner as in the animated version, but forcibly dresses her in a lavish 18th-century gown and wig. For several reasons (the sheer overdone gaudiness of the outfit, the fact that Belle has no desire to look nice for the Beast, and the fact that this version of Belle is more of a tomboy than the original and less fashionable to begin with – "I'm not a princess," she objects), Belle is none too happy and promptly remakes the gown into a rope ladder to try to escape the castle. When she eventually does wear elegant gowns of her own free will, they're much [[ModestRoyalty simpler]] and more modern, presumably because Garderobe has learned to respect her tastes.
