MISS PIGGY CALLS ON VIVIENNE WESTWOOD TO DESIGN KEY WARDROBE
FOR THE ALL-NEW DISNEY FILM “MUPPETS MOST WANTED”
Vivienne Westwood Couture Wedding Dress Designed Exclusively
for the Divine Diva
Will Kermit the Frog Finally Say “I Do”?
11th Feb 2014. At last! Miss Piggy is back on the big
screen, starring in Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted,” which follows the Muppets
on a grand, star-studded tour throughout Europe. The European setting screamed
romance to Miss Piggy, who’s been trying to convince her favourite frog to tie
the knot for years. But what will the divine diva don for the all-new film,
which hits theatres in the US March 21, 2014? Vivienne Westwood was
commissioned to create couture designs for the fashion icon, including a white
dress that would be perfect for a wedding … if one should actually take place.
“Vivienne Westwood is fabulous—just like moi,” said Miss
Piggy. “When I asked her to design this wedding dress for moi’s new movie
“Muppets Most Wanted,” she was thrilled and I was thrilled. The only one a bit
‘iffy’ about it was the Frog.”
In the film, Miss Piggy wears a Vivienne Westwood couture
Long Ivory Court wedding gown, with corset detailing and paillettes made from
recycled plastic bottles, accessorised with an ivory tulle veil. Piggy also
entrusted the designer with additional looks for the film, including a Vivienne
Westwood couture Harris Tweed houndstooth check coat and matching beret worn in
a scene set at Tower of London. Miss Piggy also chose a long silver
hand-embroidered floral lace gown for a very special number in the film.
So the question on everyone’s lips remains: Will we see Miss
Piggy marry her beloved Kermie in “Muppets Most Wanted,” and will she finally
get to wear her dream Vivienne Westwood gown down the aisle?
“You’ll have to see the movie to find out,” insisted Miss
Piggy.

portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean
Pierre Napoleon and Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard. Disney’s “Muppets
Most Wanted” is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd
