Sarah has garnered a more positive reception in decades since Labyrinth's release. Heather Roche of the Times Colonist wrote that the character's "perseverance in solving the labyrinth is inspiring, and sends a great message to any viewers." [129] Several commentators have considered Sarah to be an identifiable protagonist to teenagers because of her strong emotions and familial woes, [130] [131] as well as being relatable to children who spend a lot of time in their imaginations. [64] [132] Zaki Hasan of Fandor wrote favourably of Sarah as "an intelligent young woman, neither portrayed in stereotypical terms nor baselessly sexualized," who "never loses her agency, even as sinister forces conspire to keep her from her goal." [133] Describing the character as a "hormonal hurricane ... bratty and forthright but impossibly likeable", Josh Winning of Total Film wrote, "In-between her numerous rants of "It's not fair!", Sarah's brash sensibilities mean she's at least clever enough not to act intimidated by the Goblin King even if her insides are shuddering ... Not only that, but she defeats her foe by using her brains, and doesn't rely on Prince Charming to come to her rescue." [134] Writing for The Odyssey, Julia Kell praised Sarah's complexity and character growth, writing that her bravery and perseverance are "incredibly inspiring to see in a young girl." [135] In a 2012 retrospective of Labyrinth, Vulture's Rebecca Milzoff found it "refreshing ... how Labyrinth offer[s] up a different kind of heroine than the Disney princess movies", as Sarah's goal is not to fall in love or find a husband. [136] Contrasting Labyrinth to contemporary 1980s films about teenagers, Sarah Monette of Uncanny Magazine found Sarah's character offers teenage girls the "vanishingly rare" message that "it's okay not to want the sexualized, exaggeratedly feminine version of adulthood represented by [Sarah's] ridiculous white dress" and that having a boyfriend "is not a victory condition" nor essential to growing up. [114] Despite underperforming at the U.S. box office upon initial release, Labyrinth was later a success on home video and television broadcasts, becoming a cult film. [18] [151] The film's lasting popularity and cult status have been attributed in large part to Sarah's character arc [28] [152] and Connelly's performance. [149] [153] Emma Islip of Comic Book Resources wrote in 2020, "To this day, viewers are invested in [Sarah's] trial and error coming of age story, personality, and place in the imaginative world. [Connelly's] acting abilities and charisma are what makes Labyrinth such a triumphant feat." [154] The same publication further expounded the importance of Connelly's role in an article titled "Labyrinth Wouldn't Be a Classic Without Jennifer Connelly". [155] Brian Froud attributes the film's longevity to generations of children responding to Sarah's "emotional journey". [156] Uproxx's Alyssa Fikse reflected that many viewers see themselves in Sarah as she "reflect[s] that mix of fear and potential" in "standing on the brink of growing up [...] one of the scariest times in everyone's life". [157] Ed Power of The Telegraph attributed Labyrinth's longevity to its being "a rare ... movie that takes seriously the experience of being a young woman finding her way in the world." [158] IGN's Kayleigh Donaldson agreed with this assessment, and wrote, "The aesthetics of the film hypnotize but it’s Sarah’s victory over Jareth that we love so much."

Now to the bodice. Oh, where to begin with this one. The sleeves. These giant fluff balls are a combination of the pinkish cellophane from the top layer-sandwich of the skirt and the lace used on top of the bottom layer sandwich. They are so perfectly balloon-like that it’s easy to think that there are balloons in them! However, they didn’t use balloons. I’m sorry to burst any dreams of balloons in sleeves. What was done instead was to make a very full and stuffed short sleeve as an inner sleeve, and a big huge puff outer sleeve consisting of the cellophane and lace for the puff, with a fitted lower sleeve (I hope it was lined with cotton, but can’t be sure). When sewn together and to the bodice, the stuffed short sleeve supports the outer sleeve. Believe it or not, this was a common sleeve method using sheer fabric for the outer sleeve during the Romantic era of the 1830’s! Photo 8 a b c d Winsett, Stella (3 July 1986).

An interesting thing I noticed is that on the far sides, additional stripes are added at the very bottom, about 3″ at most, and tapering down. At first I saw it only on the right side, but upon closer looking for quire a while, I was able to make out the extension on the other side. I speculate that the reason for this is that the fabric, which was used lengthwise around the gown instead of in panels, wasn’t wide enough to go from the waist, over the panniers, and to the floor, or wherever they decided to hem it (could have been ankle length, I don’t know since I don’t know Jennifer Connolly’s height). Had those sides been left shorter, it would have been noticed, and shortening the entire gown 3″ would have been noticed. The extensions are sewn on with zigzag stitching. In photo 4, you can see a darker line from the right side that angles down. This is one of the extensions. In my first video, at 44 seconds in, I point it our clearer, and for the one on the right, it’s at 2:19 on my second video. Jeremy had danced with Sarah, smiling down at her.

I’ll save a bit of trivia about Jareth’s ensemble for the study on his at a later time. Connelly's performance has garnered a more positive response in recent decades. Ian Nathan of Empire wrote, "Connelly, still in the flush of youth, makes for an appealingly together kind of heroine," [146] while Desson Thomson of The Washington Post described her portrayal of Sarah as "precociously appealing" and "spunky". [147] Brigdet McGovern of Tor.com wrote: "It's a tribute to Jennifer Connelly's performance that Sarah manages to exhibit all the hyper-dramatic martyrdom of your average 16-year-old while still seeming sympathetic and likeable — it's easy to identify with her".

[149] Glamour's Ella Alexander praised Connelly's portrayal of the protagonist as "empowering", [150] while Liz Cookman of The Guardian wrote, "She is confident and good-looking, yet not as overtly sexual as women are so often portrayed on-screen – a much stronger female role model than many available today."

Sarah appears in Labyrinth: Coronation, a 12-issue comic series written by Simon Spurrier and published by Archaia Entertainment between 2018 and 2019. Her character and story arc is the same as that of the film, while the comic concurrently follows the parallel tale of Maria, another young woman who journeys through the Labyrinth to save a loved one, set several hundred years before Sarah. However, Maria ultimately fails to rescue her infant son, Jareth. [189] The Labyrinth that Sarah traverses is very different to Maria's, as in the series the Labyrinth becomes shaped to reflect and challenge each individual who attempts to solve it. [190] Metro included Sarah on its list of "19 women every 90s schoolgirl wanted to be when she grew up", [163] while Bustle featured Sarah in its article "7 Feminist Childhood Movie Characters That Made You The Woman You Are Today", writing that the character is a strong role model for girls because "once she realizes that the world isn't fair and she's in charge of her own destiny, she can do anything." [164] Mom.com ranked Sarah on their list of the "50 Best Movie Heroines of All Time", citing her "cleverness, resourcefulness and bravery". [165] SyFy Wire described Labyrinth as "one of the best depictions of female maturation and desire in pop culture of the '80s", [92] while The Arizona Republic characterised it as one of "8 of the best movies that celebrate girl power" due to Sarah's "determination and moxie" in solving the Labyrinth. [166] The bulk of the gathering is kept to the top of each sleeve. This gives the effect of the sleeves being ready to fall off of Sarah, yet are supported enough to still puff hugely.Prange, Melissa (27 March 2019).

After overcoming first the gate guard then the goblin army, Sarah arrives at Jareth's castle, whereupon she parts from her friends, insisting she must face Jareth alone and promising to call the others if needed. In a gravity-defying room of staircases, Sarah confronts Jareth while trying to retrieve Toby. As Jareth offers Sarah her dreams again, promising to be her slave on the condition that she fear, love and obey him, she remembers the line from her book: "You have no power over me!". She is returned home safely with Toby.
