Culturally , Cinderella has had a profound influence on the fashion industry . According to Sarah Osman of Young Hollywood , " Cinderella ’s gown in this film is so iconic that it 's become canon that Cinderella wears a light blue dress to the ball . " To coincide with the release of the diamond edition of '' Cinderella '' in 2012 , French footwear designer Christian Louboutin created and designed a contemporary rendition of the character 's iconic glass slipper . In an interview with '' The Express Tribune '' , Louboutin said that Cinderella is " not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty , grace and fairytale love , but also shoes . " The shoes are described as " made of delicate lace instead of glass to give them a look of transparency , and adorned with butterfly designs at the vamp and atop the Swarovski-crystal covered heel , " completed by Louboutin ’s signature red soles . Only twenty copies of the shoes were manufactured . In 2014 , '' Entertainment Weekly '' ranked Cinderella tenth in its article " Disney Princesses : Ranking Their Hairdos -- and Do n'ts ! " , writing , " The lowly maid 's typically rage-inducing bangs somehow develop an almost stately character once the rest of her follicular baggage has been swept into an updo closely resembling a perky butt . " At the 86th Academy Awards in 2014 , Kenyan actress and Best Supporting Actress recipient Lupita Nyong ' o donned " a light blue Prada gown . " Subsequently , the media responded by drawing similarities between Nyong ' o 's dress and Cinderella 's ballgown . '' Cosmopolitan '' wrote that Nyong ' o " took a cue from Disney with a blue iridescent gown and matching headband '' a la '' Cinderella , " while the '' Daily News '' similarly opined " channeled another Disney princess for her Oscars gown . " Acknowledging the comparisons , Nyong ' o 's stylist Micaela Erlanger described the actress ' appearance as " Lupita Cinderella = Lupitarella . " Additionally , several critics have deemed Nyong ' o 's success a " Cinderella story . " According to MTV , several other Academy Award attendants wore similar outfits that were reminiscent of Disney characters in addition to Nyong ' o
