Rewrite the Story

Mercedes x Cinderella

Mercedes knows a thing or two about reinvention, so it was a perfect fit to partner with the new Cinderella—a rewrite of the classic fairy tale. We go behind the scenes where we see the women who worked on the film. They recount the same old story they’ve been told time and time again, which fueled the creation of a new take on an old classic.

 
 

 Dressed for a Dream

 

Mercedes partnered with Billy Porter, who plays the film’s Fab G (short for Fabulous Godmother), to host the Dressed For a Dream fashion show. The show featured people who embodied the spirit of Cinderella. These everyday “Ellas” modeled costumes from the movie designed by Ellen Mirojnick.

 
 

The Chariot

 

A custom Maybach was created, inspired by Billy Porter’s character as the Fab G. Bumpers were bedazzled. Fenders were foiled. Glitter was everywhere. And the Fab G got a new ride.
