The dream world of the Labyrinth created for the film is centered around Sarah, with the influences of the film also being the influences of her mind. [7] Henson stated, "the world that Sarah enters exists in her imagination. The film starts out in her bedroom and you see all the books she's read growing up – The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, the works of Maurice Sendak. The world she enters shows elements of all these stories that fascinated her as a girl". [9] [10] Additional titles shown briefly in Sarah's room at the start of the film are Through the Looking-Glass, Grimm's Fairy Tales, a book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and Walt Disney's Snow White Annual. [4] [25] The goblins that come to take her brother away, as well as Sarah's monologue that she recites to defeat the Goblin King, are from her favourite story, [26] a play called "The Labyrinth" which she rehearses at the beginning of the film. [16] [27] Sarah's experiences in the Labyrinth are also reflective of the objects shown in her room. [e] Many of the characters she encounters bear a resemblance to her toys, including a statuette of the Goblin King. The Labyrinth itself resembles her maze-puzzle board game. [28] [29] The dress Sarah wears in her ballroom dream adorns a miniature doll on her music box, which also plays the same tune as in her dream. [30] One of the obstacles that Jareth sets on Sarah recalls the "Slashing Machine" record on her shelf, and Sarah's final confrontation with the king takes place in a room that resembles her poster of Escher's Relativity.

In Dale & Foy (2015), pp.109–117 Connelly's role as Sarah brought her international fame [167] and made her a teen icon. [168] Described by the International Business Times as the role that made Connelly "everyone's crush", [169] the character has remained one of Connelly's best known performances. [158] [170] In 1997, Connelly said, "I still get recognized for Labyrinth by little girls in the weirdest places. I can't believe they still recognize me from that movie. It's on TV all the time and I guess I pretty much look the same." [171] In 2008, Connelly said she found it amusing that many people continued to recognise her as Sarah two decades after she worked on the film.

Do you have any references to this gown being inspired by Diana’s? I haven’t been able to find anything aside from blogs. Are there any interviews where someone associated with the production confirms this? I have Labyrinth: The Ultimate Visual History arriving today. I’ll see if that has any info. Step 4: The Makeup Jareth's ethereal makeup is essential to complete the look. Invest in an eyeshadow palette to achieve the dramatic and captivating eye makeup that defines his character.

Sarah]'s on that cusp between being an adult and a big sister ... and [the film is] her struggle to kind of compete with these two things. But of course, in the end, she enters adulthood on her own terms, not on the terms of society or what her peer group says she should be doing or what the temptations are; she moves into it as her own woman ... And love is, ultimately, the source of her strength." George Lucas (2007). "Journey Through the Labyrinth: Kingdom of Characters". Labyrinth (Anniversary Edition) (DVD).

Charismatic Gestures: Emulate Jareth's charismatic hand gestures. Use your hands to emphasize your words and add an extra layer of mystique to your character. Playful Teasing: Jareth had a mischievous side. Playfully tease and challenge others, but always maintain an air of charm and charisma. After overcoming first the gate guard then the goblin army, Sarah arrives at Jareth's castle, whereupon she parts from her friends, insisting she must face Jareth alone and promising to call the others if needed. In a gravity-defying room of staircases, Sarah confronts Jareth while trying to retrieve Toby. As Jareth offers Sarah her dreams again, promising to be her slave on the condition that she fear, love and obey him, she remembers the line from her book: "You have no power over me!". She is returned home safely with Toby. After graduating from high-school, Sarah went to college and studied to become a teacher. She became a teacher of English Literature at a Junior School, where she was notoriously strict. Sarah became engaged at one point, but the relationship did not last.The character's main outfit, consisting of a large white poet blouse, brocade waistcoat and jeans, [53] was fashioned by Brian Froud and costume designer Ellis Flyte so that it "didn't place her precisely in this world" but would look appropriate in a fairy tale world. However, Sarah's blue jeans were meant to keep her contemporary. [7] Sarah is first introduced in the film wearing a medieval-style gown which is revealed to be a costume when her jeans are shown beneath it. [54] [55] Hawtin, Jane (30 June 1986).

In the scene of Sarah's masquerade ball fantasy, she wears a silver ballgown with puffed sleeves and gold detailing. [56] The costumers wanted the character to look like "an otherworldly princess", [57] and designed her outfit with a silver and mint colour scheme to set her apart from the other people in the scene. Sarah's ballgown was made from silver lamé and iridescent rainbow paper, overlaid with lace and jewels on the bodice, and worn with a pannier beneath the skirt. [52] According to Flyte, it took much sampling and camera testing to achieve the "ethereal" effect of the gown's final design. [57] According to Froud, Henson originally wanted Connelly's hair in ringlets for the scene, which "horrified" Froud and to which Connelly's parents disagreed, as they did not want her to appear too grown up. Working with the film's hairdressers, Froud eventually devised an " art nouveau" style for Connelly's hair with silver leaves and vines entwined at the sides, "something that was connected to nature and yet had a sophistication to it." [7] Her hair was dressed with jeweled glue particles. [52] The Labyrinth Crew: Recruit friends to dress up as characters from the movie, including Sarah, Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, and others. Together, you can embark on a quest to navigate the mysterious labyrinth. Sarah features in Labyrinth merchandise such as colouring and activity books, posters, and lobby cards.

An interesting thing I noticed is that on the far sides, additional stripes are added at the very bottom, about 3″ at most, and tapering down. At first I saw it only on the right side, but upon closer looking for quire a while, I was able to make out the extension on the other side. I speculate that the reason for this is that the fabric, which was used lengthwise around the gown instead of in panels, wasn’t wide enough to go from the waist, over the panniers, and to the floor, or wherever they decided to hem it (could have been ankle length, I don’t know since I don’t know Jennifer Connolly’s height). Had those sides been left shorter, it would have been noticed, and shortening the entire gown 3″ would have been noticed. The extensions are sewn on with zigzag stitching. In photo 4, you can see a darker line from the right side that angles down. This is one of the extensions. In my first video, at 44 seconds in, I point it our clearer, and for the one on the right, it’s at 2:19 on my second video. When she first meets Hoggle, Sarah is horrified by his gleeful stunning faeries with a spray-gun. Her initial repulsion is tempered when she realizes the faeries are pests, and she attempts to persuade Hoggle to help her find the entrance to the Labyrinth. After asking him the correct question, he shows her the entrance to the Labyrinth, leaving her there to start her journey for herself. The lace is a very soft grey with silver. 🙂 Things that look white on screen or onstage are rarely white. Under all those super bright lights that eliminate shadows, white glows. So usually a grey or a blue are used so that, when the color gets washed out, the garment looks regular white instead of glowing. When I did Les Mis, I used white on the final ensembles Fantine and Eponine wore at the very end to make them appear as if they were glowing, and when I did The Pajama Game, I learned first-hand that a lovely soft blue dress will look like a white wedding gown on stage and result in having to replace a costume two days before opening. 🙂
