Her fairy godmother appears and performs a spell that dresses her up, telling her the spell will wear off after midnight. The prince falls in love with Cinderella at the ball. She forgets about the spell and leaves hurriedly in the nick of time, leaving behind one of her glass slippers. The prince decrees that whoever's foot fits the shoe will be his wife.
