The world's most beloved blonde pig will light up the big screen once more

Miss Piggy may take on the plus-size role of a Vogue Paris editor in the upcoming The Muppets movie from Disney - but that didn't stop competitor InStyle from featuring her in an eight-page spread in its November issue.

The magazine enlisted Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, Opening Ceremony, Suno, Brian Atwood and Giles & Brother to design custom creations for the porcine prima donna.

"I didn't want to dress Miss Piggy in anything that would take away from her bold personality so I went with a simple, classic dress and neutral color," Gurung said of his belted dress in white duchesse silk. "The empire waist really complements her figure."

Wu, however, was a little more showy with his design.

"Her humor, flamboyance and joie de vivre inspired me to design a decadent feathered dress that features her most sensational qualities," he explains.

When it came to shoes, Atwood carefully considered the screen siren's gams.

"The strappy sandal seemed to work best to complement her hoofs," he notes.

"Although Miss Piggy hasn't been seen on the big screen in 12 years, her appeal is timeless," observes Ariel Foxman, managing editor of InStyle.

"This style maven is living proof that confidence - and a whole lot of it - can get you everywhere."

The blonde starlet, who's been hoofing it in show biz for 35 years, has been on a marketing blitz to promote her new film, out Nov 23.
