New image of Belle in her "royal celebration" gown
By the end of the animated Beauty and the Beast, Belle is back in her ball gown that we all know, and love, so much, but it seems the live-action film is going to have a bit of a costume change.
A lucky shopper spotted a new "Royal Celebration" doll set with Belle and the prince at their local Toys R Us (live-action BATB toys have been showing up in a few stores a bit early). The set includes the Belle doll in a floral dress, as well as a new image of Emma Watson as Belle on the box. Since the prince in his human form is also part of the set, it is safe to assume this costume is from the end of the film.

WATCH: First 'Beauty and the Beast' TV spot
As we head into the new year and barrel towards March 17th, we will begin to see more and more of our favorite timeless tale. This started this weekend with the first tv spot for Beauty and the Beast, which aired during the Disney Christmas Day parade special.
The extended tv spot was introduced by the film's core cast, including Emma Watson (Belle), Dan Stevens (Beast), Luke Evans (Gaston), and Josh Gad (Le Fou). The spot itself included footage from the second teaser trailer with just one new shot of Belle in the library.

'Beauty and the Beast' costumes on display at theaters in NY & LA
If you thought the new theater display with the castle staff was exciting, sit back and get ready to say "wow!" Theater goers who ventured out to see Rogue One at the Sherman Oaks & Pasadena ArcLight Cinemas and Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live Thursday night not only got an exciting new Star Wars movie, but also a closer look at a few iconic pieces from Beauty and the Beast.
The Sherman Oaks display includes Belle and Beast's ballroom costumes and the enchanted rose. If you take a closer look, you can also see Cadenza (Stanley Tucci) in his enchanted form. The Pasadena display features costumes and props for Lumiere (Ewan McGregor), Plumette (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), and Cogsworth (Ian McKellen). The final display at the L.A. Live Regal Cinemas has Belle's blue dress, along with a magic atlas prop, which can be seen in an official still, and the enchanted mirror & rose.

First look at the 'Beauty and the Beast' castle staff in human form
We've seen (and dissected) images of the enchanted objects, from official stills to the latest trailer, and now we have even more to discuss with a surprise first look.
A new theater display gives us a great look at our favorite Beauty and the Beast characters, including our first look at the castle staff in their human forms. Prior to the display, our only image of the human staff was a piece of concept art with Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts.
Below are 15+ images of the standee with a few close-ups of the characters.
