Disney characters are well-known for their iconic fashion sense, and Minnie Mouse is no exception. Traditionally seen in her classic red polka-dotted dress and matching bow, Minnie is getting a makeover for a special event at Disneyland Paris Resort.
Renowned British designer Stella McCartney collaborated to create a stylish dark blue pantsuit adorned with black polka dots for Minnie Mouse. This fresh ensemble, complete with a coordinating bow, will debut in March 2022 to commemorate Disneyland Paris’ 30th anniversary and Women’s History Month.
Stella McCartney remarked, “This modern twist on Minnie Mouse’s signature polka dots positions her as a symbol of progress for a new generation.”

Reactions to Minnie’s new outfit have sparked diverse responses on social media. While some praise the fresh look, others criticize it as an unnecessary deviation from tradition. Certain conservative figures have raised concerns, suggesting that the pantsuit makes Minnie appear “more masculine,” posing a threat to societal values. However, many online users have pointed out that this isn’t Minnie’s first time sporting pants and that, in comparison to her previous daring outfits, this change isn’t particularly extreme.
