"We thought long and hard about how to do it," he tells PEOPLE. "People always remember Annie's red dress, but in our movie, she just wears her regular clothes the whole time."
The solution? The distinctive garment became Annie's attire for a formal event at the Guggenheim Museum in the movie, where she sings one of the musical's brand-new songs.
Costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus "spent a long time" coming up with the right look for Quvenzhané Wallis's Annie, says Gluck.
"The beauty of this dress is that there's no red in the movie until the moment that dress shows up on screen," he says.
Adds Gluck: "That's very hard to do while shooting in New York City. You don't even realize there's no red. It's very subliminal. She appears in this red dress and she just explodes off the screen."
The dress, which you can check out in detail in the clip above, will be available at Target for a limited time starting Nov. 16. It's part of a 25-piece collection designed by Kalfus for the retailer.
Annie opens in theaters on Dec. 19.
