If we could request who Oprah should do the next episode of Where Are They Now? on, it would definitely be the Disney princesses. What have they even been up to since riding off into the sunset and living happily ever after? LA-based photographer Tony Ross is helping us visualise it by depicting Disney's most iconic maidens as majestic queens, and to make sure the portraits were extra-realistic, he had the princess models call in their moms to pose as the mythical matriarchs. The results were a royal success.
"...The main idea was to portray the relationship between a true mother and daughter as the same princesses a generation apart to show the similarities, the features that are alike," Ross told A Plus. Indeed, the youthful glow of each princess juxtaposed with the dignified elegance of their mature counterparts creates a stunning contrast, but also a satisfying sense of continuity thanks to the physical traits shared by the models. The gorgeous costumes worn in the shoot were supplied by Nephi Garcia, a designer acclaimed for his collection of Disney-inspired children's outfits.
The photo series powerfully reflects on the relationship between youth and ageing, as well as between mother and child. As the young woman is now, the older woman once was, and as the older woman is now, the young woman will become. Both generations are equally beautiful, and this fairytale photoshoot is proof. See each princess 'then and now' below, and vote for the most stunning transformations.

Mulan
The backgrounds bring me the feeling of honour of the family and later of the nation. The 1st one is wonderful as it really tells the story, we see her struggle and its cause. But in the 2nd one, i hope it would be more open, more free, as Mulan herself after her journey.
Snow White
Ariel
Cinderella
Belle
Is she... is she wearing the Beast on her shoulder??? O.o That would really make her the most badass "princess" of all
Hey guys! So as the director of the whole shoot, I wanted to use the mirror as an icon both younger and older belle to use to kin d of include her father. She was looking at him on the first one and the second one, I wanted her to have the feel of "if I could see him again one last time" that's why I didn't do the cliche book. Also, none of them are photoshopped except for the moon on the first photos. I wanted to use real women for the shoot so sizes will vary. It's because some women wears different sizes doesn't mean they are not fit to become a princess or queens anymore. You guys have no idea what these women have gone through in their lives. Knowing them personally, they are more queenly and deserving of a glory than you think. Be kind and be gentle with your words. They me reflect more on you that on the subject.
The girl in the top picture should definitely play Belle in a new remake.
She did as a younger age. Too bad it wasn't shown that way and her holding a book that would be cool

I'm a designer as well, and this looks totally fine to me. Some women, especially older woman, have thicker arms and a bigger bosom then your average teenage model. You would probably photoshop the woman's head and neck abnormally large in order to give her what you consider to be "normal proportions."

Elena
These are gorgeous. The key thing that bugged me: While the princesses are all young and dynamic, the dynamism is totally lost in the 'queens' by portraying them just standing there in heavy gowns... Dynamism isn't lost with age!
but Queens wore heavy gowns... and they probably weren't dynamic at all... I mean I've never seen Queen Elizabeth running or jumping and she's not even carrying a massive dress

Cinderella wasn't the the young princess. That looked like it was Rapunzel from Tangled. Even the same dress and barefootedness.
It was Cinderella in the pink dress that her stepsisters ripped apart

Why does Cinderella have a pink dress when she's young...? She's known for her blue dress. And who the heck is Elena
These are awesome, but can we do things that aren't disney princess related? Downvotes galore!
