Illustrator Shows How Disney Princesses Would Look Like If They Lived In 2017, And The Result Is Awesome
In recent years, we've seen quite a few reimagined 'modern' versions of the Disney princesses we grew up loving and admiring. This latest interpretation by Chilean digital artist Fernanda Suarez, however, might be the fairest of them all.
Starting with Snow White back in July, Suarez has gone on to illustrate 7 classic princesses in hip, present-day fashion. These sketched-up smoke shows look like they follow Luxy Hair tutorials on YouTube and shop for clothes at Forever 21. They probably post selfies with their 'princes' on Instagram and all agree that NAKED2 is the best eyeshadow palette. Oh yeah, they probably also campaign non-stop on social media for the equal rights of dwarfs, marine wildlife, and big cat conservation.
Can't find your favourite princess here? Suarez is still working on the series, and is currently taking votes on who she should design next (Rapunzel and Merida are tied for first so far). Scroll down to see the incredible work she's already done, and let us know which modern princess you'd love to grab a venti latte with.

Don't listen, Snowy! You know what they say about an apple a day. *wink wink*

Nope, she should be pale, there's a reason she was called Snow White.
i still love the shrek version. dopey tattoo on her arm and sings zeppelin
Reminds me of Kirsten Stewart for some reason. A lot of these look like they were based on real people
Someone looked at a picture of Scarlett Johansson before they drew this..,
I have a feeling snow would be totally goth in this era. Which could be awesome :)
That sweater--are girls wearing that now (the hair yes, the necklace, yes)? The sweater looks like an escapee from 1987.
Apparently they're called "cold shoulder" tops. They're in all the shops at the moment. I think they're kind of stupid. Cos heaven forbid you would want to wear a jumper to actually keep warm!

Eye bags makes it look like she is lacking of sleep. Like whenever she wants to sleep the dwarfs get paranoid
It's Kirsten Stewart, who portrayed the apple poisoned maiden in the recent Snow White movie. Her skin tone should be paler to be more true to character tho
Stunning! Love the contemporary new look, but where are Snow's iconic blue eyes? Give them back!
Snow White's eyes are and always have been brown. Watch the original movie again

Snow White with black hair? Well I guess if Jesus and Mary are always pictured with blonde hair, why not?
her skin is white as snow, lips red as snow, her hair is black as ebony tree? what else should it be?

I don't know. She doesn't look like she'd take any c**p off the step family. Just can't picture her in the scullery.
These are beautiful, and I understand how people can get tired of Disney princesses. Before you complain about "uncreative artists" please understand how the market works. Fanart receives highest ammounts of views, clicks and likes. This is the way to get patreons, a platform that keeps many artist afloat. Original content gets far less attention. This artist also has beautiful original art on her FB, so take a look.
To Meowton: Rembrandt and Dali are dead, but they were paid for their art in some form, and it allowed them to pay bills. The internet means that YOU get to admire some pretty mind-blowing art for FREE. The clicks and views often generate revenue. You don't want to pay for art, and you don't want the artists to get paid otherwise?

I would have preferred if the artist had at least attempted to capture the true personality of the character and not just generic Kardashian style faces.
I agree, they've all got the exact same b****y/seductive expression on their faces :/

Enough of the Disney princess re-drawings please. So many seem to be doing it. You have fantastic artistic talent. How about showing us something original.
There's original art on artist's other social media channels. Also she didn't make this post.

Anything with Disney princesses is a sure success on here! This artist draws what Disney princesses would look like as Pokemons and the result is incredible!
All of them look powerful and determined, without a prince charming around them
And by powerful and determined, you mean that Jasmine looks like a vindictive lunatic, Ariel looks like she wants to hook up with you to make her gangster boyfriend jealous, and Cinderella just walked off the set of Cruel Intentions. Mulan and Poco are the only two that look powerful and determined. When the rest of them come around you know that drama will ensue.

The only one whose outfit and expression really suited the character was belle and maybe ariel but her eyes are too dark
It looks as if they've all gotten smashed and trying to recoup the next day...
Not sure why these princesses (except the more 'ethnic' ones and Cinderella) look somewhat hipster or off-beat? I get it, hipster is cool and all nowadays, but some variety would have made each individual princess more striking in her own way, not to mention less monotonous.
I can appreciate the quality and technique shown in these fan art subjects. That said "fan art" is both simultaneously killing artist alleys with unoriginal thought, retreads of ideas, and educating the public in all the wrong ways about how one should invest and support an artist.
There are quite a few artist who actually genuinely enjoy making these kind of things.

Beautiful drawings. But I don't think that the teenagers look like that.
false jasmine would be covered in a burkha and Pocahontas would be obese
false jasmine would be covered in a burkha and Pocahontas would be obese
I love how all of them exude confidence and charisma! Finally Disney princesses who reflect modern day strong women, instead of the stereotypical good girl in love with a "lady-brain"!
It was just a matter of time before someone came up with a hyper sexualized version of Disney princesses and label that as modern and "awesome". I quote from the article: "They probably post selfies with their 'princes' on Instagram and all agree that NAKED2 is the best eyeshadow palette." NAKED2. This is awesome? Do you know who idolizes Disney princesses? Little 6 year old girls... Give me a break and let's allow kids to remain kids.
I think the art was great BUT.. Pocahontas was only 9 or 10 years old in real life.. a child bride. Even by todays fashion standards.. I don't think this painting quite depicts a 9 year old.
gosh...they are so captivating to an extent you could mistake then for the real teenagers of our time
I can never remember the name Disney gave her, but the one from Sleeping Beauty would be awesome to see.
I've seen other versions of the same idea but these are the best! MORE PLEASE!!!
Why do they all look either angry or sleep deprived? I really like these, but the eyes bother me
It looks like the artist basically thinks that women in 2017 don't get enough sleep. They're just Disney princesses with bags under their eyes.
They're really beautiful, but why do they all have such mean eyes. With the exception of Ariel, they all look like they want to punch somebody. Ariel's got a whole other thing going.
The only one I'd like to see here is Little Red Riding Hood, revisited by Stéphane Levallois, I know she was not a Disney princess but so much more interesting, in fact all these Disney movies were sugar loaded versions of cruel and very sadistic 18th century novels, but this century needs less of it, it sees it in everyday life
Why do they all look a little evil? They pics are beautiful, I agree. Maybe it's because they are made to look sexier than intended??
I love this, the artist is super talented.Just questioning why most of the girls are wearing crop tops?
Mulan is my favourite here <3 I would like to see Tinkerbell (does she count) or Merida
the snow white is like Indonesian female singer named 'RAISA ANDRIANA'
They are originals! If no one told you and the names were changed, how would you know for sure?
Kinda wish they put glasses on at least one of them... Us glasses wearing girls get no love. (And I can't wear contacts or get Lasik.) I hate when I cosplay and someone complains about the glasses Y,Y
I am sorry that anyone complains if you need to wear glasses, that is horrible. You keep positive, if they cannot see through the glasses then their imagination is seriously lacking.

These are unbelievably brilliant, especially how each one is dressed in a modern attire that actually represents everything about their characters. I'd say, enough of Disney Princess re-drawings if this had nothing new to add but it does! Amazing!!!!
This is probably my favorite rendering of Disney princesses I've seen. They are gorgeous! They look like real women, I especially love the hair.
I absolutely love these illustrations but jees, get some time of the internet and create something new, this is yet another "re-create popular characters " series an i am starting to think you should leave the classics alone before noone remembers the originals
Disney should hire this person and make remakes of all of their classics
I love all their modern edges. Great interpretations of the Disney Princess's.
Fantastic work and amazing interpretations. I greatly hope to see them all! Elsa, Anna, Merida, and Rapunzel are hopefully soon to appear.....
Ohh This Artist must be a very intelligent person. I mean look at the detailing in those pictures. He/she added perfect skin tone, some freckled skin for realistic touch, hair embossment, dressing styles etc. This idea of recreation must be very old and It's being copied by many others but I have not seen such a perfect job. Kudos!!!
They have boobs, we all know that's not PC for this day and age, y'all, all drawings of women must hide the fact they are women from the neck down!!!
none of these princesses are morbidly obese. totally not realistic at all. smdh
