Many Disney movies were made in the mid to late 1900's, and the stories can be traced back to the 1800's. Can you imagine what the princesses would look like in modern times. One Kiev-based artist, Daria Artemieva, took our favorite Disney Princesses and put a millennial spin on them. From classics like Snow White, to newer additions like Moana, she modernized them all. Keep scrolling to see what your favorite princess would look like in modern day.
Whoever said that Disney princesses were only a thing of the past? Have you ever wondered what a modern day Disney princess would look like? If so, you’re in luck as some people have decided to start reimagining Disney princesses as modern-day characters by drawing them in modern day settings. Whether it’s Ariel with a Starbucks coffee, Pocahontas at a Coachella festival, Jasmine going to a yoga class, or Belle sipping a coca-cola, these pictures of Disney princesses in modern day are bound to leave you yearning for an entire film remake.
Sometimes it can be sad to think that most Disney princesses are simply a thing of the past, a memento to long gone eras. It can be very nice to see modern day princess art that is inspired by these classic characters but recreated to fit into modern society. At first, it may be strange to see Cinderella or Aurora without their traditional gowns, but it’s guaranteed that you’ll love the new version of these modern day Disney princesses just as much (if not more).

1. Ariel
Here we have the epitome of millennials. Starbucks? Check. Tattoo? Check. Trendy outfit? Check.
Can you believe the Starbucks barista even spelled her name right? That’s a rare sighting.
2. Snow White
It’s as if Snow White stepped out of an Urban Outfitters ad.
She is super trendy and we are here for it. Now where can someone buy this outfit? Asking for a friend.
3. Pocahontas
Paint with all the colors of the Coachella wind.
What could be more millennial than posing in front of the famous Coachella ferris wheel? Nothing.
4. Jasmine
Did she get that outfit at Lululemon?
She looks ready to hit the yoga studio and then grab a juice after class.
5. Anna and Elsa
These sisters needed a break from the freezing tundra of Scandinavia.
Sadly, Olaf wasn't able to join because he would melt in the heat.
6. Aurora
“I woke up like this.”
How does someone who sleeps so much look perfectly put together? Share your secrets princess!!
7. Belle
When you get the classic Coca Cola glass bottle just to take a cute insta.
She is killing it in these adorable overalls and top knot. Someone seriously needs to make all these clothes real.
8. Surfer Moana
“The line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me”
Surfs up for this island girl. She is probably the best surfer on the whole island.
9. Foodie Moana
After a long day of surfing, she heads over to In-n-Out for a bite to eat.
Do you think she orders off the secret menu?
10. Cinderella
While sticking with the original color scheme, Daria was able to capture a new side of Cinderella.
Who doesn’t love having a chill day at home with pizza and Netflix’s? Can we have a slice?
11. Ariel and Prince Eric
These two are major #couplegoals.
They must be the envy of everyone else on the beach. How can they be so perfect?
12. Mulan
When she isn’t being a boss lady warrior, Mulan likes to chill at the beach eating fresh papaya.
Everyone needs a break from the battlefield, right?
13. Belle
On most days you can find her roaming the streets of Paris looking for a good bookstore.
When she isn't doing that, she models ball gowns and likes fast food in between shots.
14. Merida
Merida would probably caption this, “California sunset dreams”.
Her chill athleisure vibes are on point. She is even rocking a pair of chucky dad sneakers.
15. Rapunzel
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair.
If she stands at the top of the Eiffel Tower, will her hair touch the ground?
16. Tiana
“Chill nights down by the bayou!”
Nothing screams Tiana more than being down by the dock with her frog friends. If she kisses enough frogs it will be like the frog princess version of “The Bachelorette”
17. Cinderella
When she is not eating pizza and watching Netflix, Cinderella also loves to cook.
She is a master breakfast chef.
18. Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane have left the jungle and moved to a beachside town.
They traded swinging on vines to swimming in clear blue water.
19. Pocahontas and John Smith
This loved up couple enjoys long mornings catching up on the news.
He is still very grateful that Pocahontas saved his life.
Do you prefer Modern Day Disney Princesses or the Classics?
Most people grow up watching these classic Disney films and imagine what it would be like to be one of these princesses. Although part of the fun is picturing your life as a princess in a long-gone era, there is something exciting as well about these Disney princesses in modern day art. They reimagine the Disney princesses and make them more realistic and more accessible. Someone may have always dreamed of being Moana after watching the film, but seeing a modern day surfer Moana makes it actually seem possible. On the one hand it makes it harder to choose which Disney princess you would want to be the most and on the other it makes it easier.
With the modern Disney princess art instead of dreaming to be like one of the Disney princesses, it is more fun to think of which princess you relate to the most and which ones you friends relate to the most. Are you a “girl-boss” Mulan or are you a “couple goals” Ariel? Are you friends more of a Parisian, book-loving traveler like Belle or a beach-lover like Jane and Tarzan? The couples in particular seem much more realistic when they are presented as modern day Disney Princesses. So, what’ll it be? Do you like the traditional Disney princesses or the modern day recreations? Which one do you relate to more?
