Disney Princess Art

Artistic Twists on Disney Princesses (With New Additions!)

by Tara Block 9/13/13 1.1K Reactions 2.6K Shares Print

Though as adults we may cringe at princess culture and the outdated stereotypes that come along with it, there's just something special about the Disney princesses we grew up with like Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, and Ariel. And they aren't all damsels in distress; the newer crop of the crowned ladies have attempted to be better role models for little girls. These include Princess Sofia the First and Brave's Princess Merida.

But whether these Disney princesses — or, for the purists, animated heroines — are classics or newbies, they've inspired many creative artists who've transformed them into thought-provoking modern art. So while we wait for The Real Housewives of Disney to become an actual show, satiate your obsession with some of our favorite artistic renditions of Disney princesses!

i <3 this!!!!

Lovely renditions of Disney princesses! I believe it's a side of woman's nature to consider herself as a princess. And there's nothing wrong about it! In a world full of cruelty and "bleakness", we should have in mind all these pure feelings that princesses remind us. I think they are an indispensable role model for every girl and woman. The real life version was my favorite! Great job by Jirka V.!!

Real Belle totally looks like a shy Miranda Kerr! :D

@GZO Agree about the font on the covers, and everything else you said!

Never seen some of these! The prom Snow White looks like she pregamed a bit too much lol! And I think the illustrations on the Vogue magazines are really beautiful but the artist could have used a bit of help from a typographer or graphic designer... the Myriad Pro and Monotype Corsiva for the headlines are not doing it for me. Hadn't seen the fighters either... these ladies clearly don't need a prince to rescue them!

I love Anastasia though she wasn't a Disney Princess. Had her life been spared in real life it might have made another great movie.

Not to mention the historically accurate ones are so cool! the jasmine is my favorite, with the pointy shoes

These are so great. The hipster ones are lovely, the art nouveau/sins ones are dead on, and the little ones at the end are really nicely done. Still think the Creepy Miranda ones (the obese princesses) are great art - disturbing and thought provoking. - alipants

Call me naive, but aren't disney's costumes relatively historically accurate? I remember hearing years ago that, for example, pocahonta was wearing the clothing the real pocahontas' tribe actually wore. Maybe that was just a rumor.

Real life Rapunzel looks like a cross between Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried

I love the hipster version, the historical version, the seven deadly sins, and the child princesses version of all of the princesses. The "Real Life" Jasmine for some reason looks like Kim Kardashian and the "Real Life" Rapunzel kind of looks like Amanda Seyfried.
