Dame Elizabeth Taylor: Fairy Godmother? The screen legend has taken good friend and"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Kathy Ireland under her wing, helping to design her debut look on tonight's premiere on ABC with a wave of her magic wand!

Dame Elizabeth has personally hand-selected Kathy's transformation: She'll be decked out in a luxurious chiffon Valentino gown; her hair will be done by Dame Elizabeth's personal hair guru, Jose Eber, and she will also be wearing jewelry chosen by the legendary actress.

The former supermodel-turned-supermogul is CEO & Chief Designer of Kathy Ireland Worldwide -- a $1.4 Billion annual grossing lifestyle design empire -- and Dame Elizabeth and Kathy's deep friendship was celebrated online when Dame Elizabeth tweeted, "I'm so excited to see Kathy Ireland on 'Dancing with the Stars'! She is so beautiful. She is beauty personified because it glows from within and takes her on wing."
