Live action Cinderella actress Lily James has a very slim waist. But particularly in the scene in which she enters the ballroom, there is no possible doubt that digital magic has given her the proportions of an Anna or Elsa - which means about a physically-impossible (with all the waist shapers or corsets in the world) waist of about 12 inches around. Truly the shape of a wasp - not a girl.
Even on Anna and Elsa it's a little troubling when you consider that this unhealthy, un-human shape is viewed as an ideal by all the millions of little girls who watch and re-watch that film. Seeing it on a live-action Cinderella is disturbing.
There's a scene in the film in which Cinderella is urged repeatedly to make her step-sister's corset tighter and yet tighter. Ironically, no corset could have given Lily James that waist. Only digital magic. Disney should leave all the magic to Helen Bonham Carter's Jack-Sparrow-esque Fairy Godmother.
