Celebrated designer Stella McCartney has made the dress which the famous mouse will temporarily wear to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Paris.
Disneyland Paris took to Twitter to make the official announcement — sharing a photo of Minnie Mouse and writing, “Stella McCartney has designed Minnie Mouse’s very first pantsuit, and it’s gorgeous #DisneylandParis30”

Meanwhile, the designer said, “Minnie has always had a special place in my heart. We share the same values, and what I love about Minnie is that she personifies happiness, self-expression, authenticity…plus she has such great style.”
This change comes at a time when pantsuits are becoming a symbol of expression for women worldwide as more female world leaders overhaul their wardrobes and include pantsuits as part of power dressing.
According to a report in The Independent, as part of the designer’s global collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, she will also launch a Minnie Mouse t-shirt for International Women’s Rights Day on March 8, 2022.
