The two former Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella co-stars not only reunited on the red carpet, but they reprised their roles over 20 years later for the new Disney movie musical!
They were also seen posing for family photos with their on-screen daughter Malia Baker, who is one of the leads of the film.
Also in attendance were co-stars Rita Ora, Kylie Cantrall, Dara Renee, China Anne McClain, Morgan Dudley and more. There were also stars from the first three Descendants movie in attendance!
Brandy and Paolo recently opened up about what it was like reuniting all these years later.

“They’re such iconic roles, and you don’t get a chance to do that very often in life, so I wanted to do it again,” Brandy told People, adding, “And when I heard Paolo was doing it, I said, ‘Yes,’ right away.”
“What I love the most is the regal quality that Brandy brings to Queen Cinderella,” Paolo shared. “As an actor, I don’t have to act. It helps because my character has so much gratitude and respect for and love, above all, for Cinderella so it’s so easy.”
The upcoming movie musical, the fourth film in the franchise, follows the story of Red (Cantrall), the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe (Baker), Cinderella’s (Brandy) perfectionist daughter. When the tyrannical Queen of Hearts (Ora) incites a coup against Auradon, polar opposites Red and Chloe must join forces and travel back in time to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
