First picture and it's Anna Kendrick as Cinderella and I'm freaking out a little!

She looks gorgeous! I think she's going to be the acting stand out of the movie, that's my ridiculous early prediction based on a single candid shot that might or might not be in the final movie anyway.

LOTS OF SET PICTURES WITH LOTS OF CAST!

Wow! Love Baranski's costume so much, and Tracey Ullman looks every bit like what I'd imagine Jack's mom should look. Can this come out this December, please?

I really like The Baker's costume. I was wondering how a medieval baker would be depicted although this does seem to be a celebration outfit. I like the medieval vibe to it all. Love Baranski's costume and Tracey Ullman looks great. Looks as though they are filming the introduction to Jack and his mother too. Cinderella's dress is very nice. I like the petals going through it.
For me, the looks for Pine & Baranski seem too modern.

Here is an additional picture of Chris in his wedding attire I assume. :)

Cool pics!
The photos of Jack and his Mother look like they're from the Prologue: Into the Woods.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED they're not using a wooden toy cow or a couple of actors in costumes for Milky White. (kidding) Jack looks a bit like he's dressed in a polo sweatshirt. Don't know if this is a final costume or this was taken during a rehearsal and he's just wearing something warm-ish. Tracy Ullman looks great.
All the other photos here look like the sequence I mentioned earlier which is Cinderella's wedding and the procession back to the castle (with the crowd of onlookers) being filmed this weekend. Jack and his mother are in that, too, but they are dressed "fancy" (according to the leaked script) because this takes place after Jack has returned with the loot from the Giant. So everybody is dressed pretty much for the wedding (Happy Ever After) scene. Also, the Baker's Wife is pregnant in this scene.
Again, this is a guess, based on the leaked screenplay.

Here is an addition picture of Anna. Seems like there is a little bit of pink throughout her gown. :)

I agree that Baranski reads too modern, specifically the 60s pattern on her dress and the hair. I also think the wedding gown is just okay. Really, a fairy tale princess should have a fantastical wedding gown. Not something that looks like an also ran from "Say Yes to the Dress"
Love the looks for everybody else. They seem to be less cartoonish than is usually used on stage, which I think is appropriate for a film.
I'm not sure Milky White is a real cow here. Look at her eye in the leftmost pic in the bottom row. I'm no cow eye expert. But it doesn't look quite real to me.

I thought maybe it was the end of Act I because Cinderella's sister is wearing dark shades.
And that shot of Tracy looks like she's singing "There are bugs on her dugs.
There are flies in her eyes."

I see they have now added the stepsisters and Rapunzel to the main BWW article. Looking good. :)

I really like what I am seeing. The costumes are very impressive. I can't wait for the movie to be released.

I really like these costumes, too! And I love Cinderella's wedding dress with all those textured layers. It should light really well and photograph really well with the movie cameras.
Keep in mind (and I'm sure you know this from the show) that this is a "celebration" scene that bridges the end of the first act into the beginning of the second act. So the "townspeople" (including the Baker and his Wife) will all be dressed in their best to observe a "royal wedding." I wish we could see Jack and his Mother (who are supposed to be kind of overdressed for the occasion because of their newfound wealth---her hat should be fairly outrageous). Also, I love that the stepmother and stepsisters are wearing black. Almost like they're in mourning. LOL

I expect nothing less from Colleen Atwood designs. I like that there is a sort of modern flair running through the more exuberant characters. Lucy Punch looks amazing and so does Baranski.
People have been asking "where's Meryl Streep?" in response to these photos ...
The Witch is actually in this scene, but she's observing the celebration from a distance. So they may add her in later (via green screen) or shoot her separately, or maybe she'll be there at some point in disguise. I have no idea how they'll handle it.
(No Little Red, Granny, or Wolf, though.)
EDIT: Actually, Jack is standing behind Chris Pine and Anna Kendrick in this shot. So you can see what he's wearing for this scene.
I think the costumes all look gorgeous. If they're a bit too modern in line and cut- who cares? It's not a period piece. It suits the text.
I actually think the costumes look great! Love what I see of Baranski and Ullman, they'll do their parts utmost justice!
I think part of it is that you're seeing Cinderella's Prince and the Stepmother, etc., in modern sunglasses, with cell phones, 35mm cameras, etc. It definitely pulls you out of any era, real or fantasy or a combo of both.

Some of the costumes remind me of Masquerade from the Phantom film… too color coordinated which would look great visually but doesn't convey celebration and joy. I am glad Rapunzel is in pink so she stands out. Everybody else is in sheer fabrics, leather, and lace… very Chicago/Nine.

According to Twitter they are filming at the castle tonight so I am guessing it's the ball arrival.
Very cool! I'm sure you're right if it's at night.
They probably have Dover Castle rented for a limited time. It's a major tourist attraction, although this would be "off season" for them. I've been there myself and loved it. Much of the castle was built in the 13th century, some of it goes back as far as the 11th century. It really does feel like you're stepping back in time there. And the winding road leading up to it is perfect.
Absolutely love the costumes
It reminds me of the costumes from Burton's Alice in Wonderland
