Disney and fashion go hand in hand, you only need to look at the number of Elsa-inspired wedding dresses to know that our inner child/wannabe princess is vehemently alive.  

But it's not just the play dress up this season; some of fashion's biggest heavy weights are letting their hair down and reminiscing over their childhood days.

Aladdin hits the West End

Remember when you fancied a cartoon? Well here's the real thing and it's made for you – the adults who watched Aladdin on VHS as a nipper. 

The Swarovski-studded event (over 2 million to be precise) is the best thing to hit the West End in years. The Genie makes you belly laugh so much that it borderline hurts, Aladdin is a babe, Jasmine's got more Shakira moves than it's possible replicate. 

The costumes, the dances, the actual flying carpet – it's the best thing you will see this summer.
