Project Runway's Layana Aguilar Designs New Disney Princess Gown | Elena of Avalor
/
Disney has collaborated with Project Runway All Stars' Layana Aguilar to design the ball gown for Elena of Avalor, Disney's first princess inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore. Elena will make her debut in a TV series this summer on Disney Channel.
"Elena of Avalor" follows the story of Elena, a brave and adventurous teenager who saves her kingdom from an evil sorceress and must now learn to rule as crown princess until she is old enough to be queen. Elena's adventures will lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders. Aimee Carrero (Freeform's "Young & Hungry") stars as the voice of Elena.
Above are images of Layana and the ball gown that she designed, which also served as the inspiration for the dress that Elena will wear at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort when she begins making appearances later this year. At Walt Disney World Resort, Elena will appear in the Magic Kingdom beginning in August. At Disneyland Resort, she will appear at Disney California Adventure this fall.
