“He’s very streetwise, so we wanted him to have a bit of swagger.”
A pair of custom leather shoes completed the ensemble.

Wilkinson dressed Scott in bright colorssuch as oranges and fuchsiasas a reference to her inner character.
Formal wear
The character’s inner turmoil also played out in the structure of her clothing.
Wilkinson kept her palace-wear rigid, while private outfits had a looser, more relaxed fit.
Daniel Smith/Disney
That’s why he draped actor Navid Negahban in bright oranges and greens.
Jafar’s wardrobe reflects those embellishments.
Much remained the same from the animated version, however.
Daniel Smith/Disney
His costumes are largely black and red, and his turban is adorned with a single feather.
