We all know Minnie Mouse, a Disney character who is a sweet cartoon mouse who has always appeared in dresses or skirts. Recently the Disney brand announced that Minnie had a change of look and now the little mouse will wear pants.

With this, Disney seeks to create actions in favor of the elimination of gender stereotypes, reminding its audience that women can also wear pants, clothing items that in the past were prohibited for the female gender.

Although since the creation of many characters, audiences have become accustomed to seeing them with certain types of clothing, depending on whether they were women or men, now the most iconic figures such as Minnie Mouse have completely said goodbye to the conventional and conservative to adopt new trends.

Thus, Minnie Mouse had, for the first time, a radical change of look with which she left behind the polka dot dresses to wear pants, a fact that quickly caught the attention of Disney fans.

This exclusive Minnie look is on the occasion of the celebrations at Disneyland Paris on her 30th anniversary. In addition, the pants stood out among fashion lovers, since the design is the work of Stella McCartney, daughter of Paul McCartney, and the activist Linda McCartney.

"It is the new version of her characteristic polka dots that makes Minnie Mouse a symbol of progress for a new generation," she said during a chat with the official Disney club.

Likewise, she stressed that this character shares the same values ​​as her:

Despite the magnificent image that the character's look provides, a controversy was sparked by those who disagree with the mouse wearing pants, because as journalist Almudena Araiza spread on her Twitter account, the network's news presenters Fox branded Minnie Mouse's pants as a way to destroy "the fabric of our society"; However, hundreds of users on social networks defended the renewed look and denied sharing that ideology.
