Disney has already given us a live action remake of movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book, and when they announced that they'd be doing a remake of Mulan (along with eight others!), people were understandably very excited. We now know who will be playing the titular role — Chinese actress Liu Yifei. While Mulan isn't actually a princess, she's still counted among the Disney princesses, and Liu already has the style to match. Scroll ahead to see some of her best looks.
