How to create an effect (cinderella dress transformation) like this?

This effect

by that I mean:

  1. Particles + smoke/fog
  2. engulfing an object around them
  3. with abstract swirling motion
  4. while creating a magical path

How would this work?

Doubt I could do it, but that just screams Geometry Nodes (especially with the new simulation nodes) and likely a whole bunch of multi-layer compositing.

Or just do it how they did, which I suspect was with Houdini…
