The countdown is on: the new Beauty and the Beast movie starring Emma Watson is set to be released in March 2017. Can't wait until then? Luckily we have something amazing to help tide you over: Entertainment Weekly has just released exclusive new photos of Watson's portrayal of Belle, and we can't contain our excitement.

We finally get an up-close look at her iconic yellow gown, as well as her blue and white apron outfit, and it's safe to say that the costumes more than live up to expectations. The images also feature Dan Stevens (who you may know from Downton Abbey) as Beast, and Luke Evans as Gaston. 

“I can’t even think how many times I watched it as a child,” Watson told Entertainment Weekly. “I knew all the words by heart. I knew all the songs by heart.” If that sounds familiar, you better circle the March 17, 2017 premiere date on your calendar pronto.
