Real-Life Disney Princesses

First Look at Frozen's Elsa on 'Once Upon a Time' Set

A first look at Frozen's Elsa on 'Once Upon a Time' set has been released to the delight of Disney fans around the world. Essentially a real-life incarnation of the animated princess who stole people's hearts last year, the costume designers and makeup artists decided to keep true to her original look. In fact, she could have easily walked straight out of the movie.

Played by actress Georgina Haig, Frozen's Elsa on 'Once Upon a Time' appears to be running in fear from something. In between takes, the platinum blonde is seen playing with her gorgeous blue dress and drinking water. It will be interesting to see how her storyline plays out on Season 4 of 'Once Upon a Time.'
