Recruited by Disney to promote Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign, Leibovitz persuaded her famous friends to dress up as classic Disney characters.Beyonce is Alice in Wonderland, Lyle Lovett is the March Hare, Oliver Platt is the Mad Hatter.
The first images in this ongoing series will appear in the March issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair, W, GQ, Conde Nast Traveller, Cookie and The New Yorker.
"We started by looking at the classic stories — We put 10 or 12 of the obvious ones into development.
The people we got to play the central roles in the first series of photographs felt the way I did about Disney. They all grew up with Disney characters."
Scarlett Johansson was the first A-lister to sign on. She plays Cinderella, dashing down a staircase with the castle aglow in the distance.
The image was photographed on the steps of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial on New York's Riverside Drive with Disney World's Cinderella castle digitally imposed behind her.
"Scarlett Johansson couldn't wait to put on that tiara," Leibovitz says. The Harry Winston creation is valued at $325,000.
The glass slipper was made for the shoot by Steuben. Says Johansson, 22, via e-mail, "It wasn't hard to coax my foot into the iconic glass slipper; it's every little girl's dream, mine included."
And David Beckham is the Sleeping Beauty prince.
I think Firecrotch would make an awesome Lil Mermaid - but only with her natural red hair. Rachel Bilson would make a cute Snow White, but she's not A-list, :(. Jake Gyllenhaal should be Peter Pan, so he can wear the tights. And Nicole Kidman could be Tinkerbell, she's pale and petite.source
