Bella Thorne easily could have gone the princess route with her look for Coperni’s Spring 2025 show at Disneyland Paris. A Cinderella-coded ball gown wouldn’t have been out of place at the theme park’s first-ever fashion show held on Oct. 1, where creative directors Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant launched fireworks over the castle and dressed Kylie Jenner like a 2024 Maleficent to shut down the runway. But Thorne has a different connection to the “Happiest Place on Earth,” one that encouraged her to dress more like herself than a generic Belle.
Thorne is now directing, acting, and designing a jewelry line, but she got her big break as a teen on the Disney Channel. “Back in the days, me and Z—” as in her former Shake It Up co-star, Zendaya— “performed [at Disneyland Paris], I think quite a few times if I remember correctly,” Thorne tells me with a laugh hours before she’d arrive in Coperni's front row. “I think I was 15 the last time I was there. It's definitely been quite a bit of time, so I'm excited to see it older and be there at such a different time in my life.”
