Be the Belle of the ball

Fans young and old alike have been waiting with bated breath for the release of Beauty And The Beast, the much-hyped live-action re-telling of the iconic 1991 Disney animated film, ever since the first trailer came out last year.

Directed by Bill Condon and starring British actress Emma Watson as the heroine Belle, it promises not just romance, but also a strong female lead who stands for the values of the empowered modern woman.

The movie may only open here on Thursday, but here are some ways to start feeling like a beauty already.
