Disney Princesses are universally beloved and every actress who plays the characters knows the scrutiny and pressure the roles come with. Disney is set to release Snow White, a live-action version of the beloved film, starring Rachel Zegler.

The West Side Story star has received criticism over the casting, as she’s a Latina and the character is described as fair-skinned. However, with the premiere getting closer, the public’s reaction to her version of Snow White is changing, and the early reviews have been encouraging. In a new Instagram post, Zegler has paid homage to the original Snow White actress and the reaction to her post highlighted a major grievance from the film.

Some of the film’s criticism, all ahead of the Mar. 21 release, was about Zegler’s Snow White hairstyle. While the character was famous for her dark-colored locks, Disney’s option for Zegler’s character wasn’t a hit with the fans, even though the actress cut her own hair to fit the role. Now, Zegler fixed that in the new images.

The new post features a photo of the actress paying homage to Adriana Caselotti, who was the voice of the original Snow White in 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs animated film, which was also Walt Disney’s first animated feature. In 1994, three years ahead of her death, she was named a Disney legend.

Just had to pay homage to the original snow white, miss Adriana Caselotti, to whom i owe everything,” Zegler wrote in the caption.

The set of pictures includes a photo of Zegler wearing a red bow in her bob curls, and a sharp eyeliner with nude lips. She also included a photo paying homage to Caselotti, and a black and white video of her wearing a similar hairstyle and bow.

“This should have been the look in the movieeeeeeeeeee!!” reads one of the most-liked comments. A different person added, “Disney robbed you of this hair,” adding two heartbroken emojis. “Ok but THIS hair in the movie would have been iconic,” added another. “and why couldn’t we have had this hair in the actual movie????” asked a different fan.

A different popular comment noted, “the way they could’ve done your hair like this. disney hates to see a gorgeous girl with sharp features winning.”

Another fan had a more practical approach to Zegler’s Snow White’s hair. “This hair woulda been so good in the movie but also tbf you’re like running for your life through a forest you don’t got time for a blowout.”

Disney’s Snow White was hit with a series of controversies, which led to people believing the upcoming film, which has a budget of around $250 million and also stars Gal Gadot, would be a disappointment. However, the early reactions call the film “pure Disney magic” and call Zegler a “shining supernova.” The Rotten Tomatoes score is not available yet but Zegler is off to a great start.
