Even in the 21st century film directors and producers are fascinated by the image of the Southern belle. Concerning the Southern belle's image on the screen, I suggest, we can categorize films into two major types. On the one hand, there are films, like Vampire Diaries, that depict the belle in hoopskirt, set in the Civil War era. These portrayals suggest a nostalgic feeling towards the Southern belle image. The film directors of this category represent the belle in traditional costumes, representing the value system of the Civil War era not only by their appearance but by their manners as well. On the other hand, there are television series like Southern Belles: Louiseville, that adopt a modernized version of the belle. Southern Belles: Louiseville, for instance, adapts the traditional belle image to modern lifestyle. It makes the belle image obtainable even for colored women, like Julie Smith.Images:
