The actress who plays Jasmine, Naomi Scott, chopped her hair into a bun for a role before being cast as the long-haired princess. That required Blundell to use hair pieces to add length, and it couldn't be too heavy either.
"The hardest one was the iconic A Whole New World hairdo; I wanted to do a little nod to Jasmine from the cartoon, but we weren't trying to duplicate anything," she said. "I made various prototypes of the [bubble ponytail] and then put it on Naomi to see if she could work with it while dancing and all that. It was a bit heavy, so I had to use less hair and fill it out with some crepe hair so it was lighter."
