Synopsis:
This ain’t your traditional fairy tale.
True Colors is bringing you Cinderella through an 80s-inspired lens — bold, iconic, and full of possibility. This Enchanted Edition keeps the heart of the classic story while turning up the confidence. Our Cinderella isn’t waiting to be rescued — she’s stepping into her moment. #DoItLikeCinderella
It’s nostalgia. It’s magic. It’s main-character energy.
Atlanta, you already know!
