The Bimbettes

The Bimbettes are a trio of exceedingly ditzy, beautiful blonde women who fawn over Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. They wear red, yellow, and green dresses that reveal their cleavage.

Background
The Bimbettes (real names Claudia [Red dress], Laura [yellow dress] and Paula [green dress]) are triplets and waitresses of a local tavern in the unnamed French village. They really love Gaston, but he has no interest in marrying any of them because he wants the most beautiful girl in town as his wife. At one point in the movie Claudia has Belle's hairstyle, Laura has Jasmine's, and Paula has Ariel's/Vanessa's. However, at the end of the reprise to Gaston, all three girls have Jasmine's hairstyle, likely as the result of an animation error that could not be fixed in time for the movie's release. During the song and pretty much the whole time they're shown in the movie, their hairstyles continually switch around. Like Gaston, they only like someone just because of how cute or dreamy they look. Although they are not smart, they have had instances of cleverness, a notable instance being when one of the Bimbettes realistically disguised herself as Belle, anticipating that Gaston would want to choose Belle for a wife auction, not letting up the disguise until after she won Gaston for the auction.

Beauty and the Beast
They first appear in the introduction song of the film, where they are remarking on how Gaston's dreamy, cute and a strong brute. They are so busy singing about how much they love Gaston that they accidentally squirt water on LeFou (as they are getting water, presumably for making beer in the tavern) and don't realize it. Afterwards, they, while witnessing Belle rejecting Gaston's advances, state how Belle is crazy because of the way she deals with Gaston. They are also devastated when Gaston decides to marry Belle, as they are seen crying when he is announcing that he will propose to Belle, although they later comforted him at the Tavern after his plan to marry her backfired with him falling into mud. During "Gaston", the three Bimbettes are sitting on a bench and Gaston picks the Bench with them up and shows off his muscles to the Bimbettes and then throws their bench back down onto LeFou. They were apparently also in support of Gaston's plan to blackmail Belle, but despite this were not present at the Lynch Mob that congregated at Belle's house to evict Maurice to the Asylum. The Bimbettes aren't seen throughout the rest of the film after this, nor do we see their reaction to Gaston's death. However, the coloring book reveals that they were invited to Belle and Adam's wedding.

Comics
In a comic released by Marvel in 1994, three years after the release of the movie, one of the Bimbettes managed to realistically disguise herself as Belle to get to Gaston during a wife auction (Gaston naturally wanting Belle). It works for a few moments, but the other two Bimbettes notice the ruse and rip her disguise away. To complete her disguise, she grabs a book, but hides it from Gaston because he hates the idea of women reading.

Beauty and the Beast (musical)
In the Musical, their roles are the same, although they are given more dialogue, Gaston pays more attention to them, and their role is expanded slightly. It is also implied that Gaston might still see them after he marries Belle when they are upset that he's marrying Belle. They are referred to as the Silly Girls in the musical, and there can be more than three of them if a director chooses to. However, in the original Broadway musical, similar to in the original film, they do not appear during The Mob Song, but can appear if a director chooses to expand their role further. Additionally, some school productions of the musical have Bimbettes of different races.

House of Mouse
The Bimbettes appear several times in the show as cameo characters. In the episode "Big Bad Wolf Daddy", Gaston seems to be annoyed with them singing a song with Zeke Wolf, even if he ignored them in the movie. They also acted as groupies for Donald Duck in the episode "Three Caballeros", when the duck became The Duck Formerly Known as Donald--they called Donald "super-duper duck-a-riffic".

Disney Parks
The Bimbettes also make an appearance at the parks, but they only appear in the stage show and unfortunately are not meetable characters in spite of Gaston recently appearing.

Once Upon A Time (TV Series)
They are set to appear alongside Gaston, Maurice, and the Beast.

Trivia

 * The ones in the red and yellow dresses were voiced by Mary Kay Bergman and the one in the green dress was voiced by Kath Soucie (Who coincidentally voices The Enchantress in The Enchanted Christmas, who bears some resemblance to her).
 * In House of Mouse, they are all voiced by Kath Soucie due to Mary Kay Bergman's death by that point.
 * In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Flop Starz", the Ferbettes (Who were Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Milly, Gretchen and Adyson Sweetwater) parodied the name, and are known for singing the song Gitchee Gitchee Goo.
 * A few characters with a similar design and personality also appeared in Aladdin.
 * The name "Bimbette" more than likely comes from the American word, "bimbo", which means 'a physically attractive woman who lacks intelligence, and also uses her body to get what she wants'.
