Disney Princesses in Pants—Finally!

Online Article by Joanna Douglas, Yahoo Shine Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor:




Disney princesses have an obsessive following, and recently artists have had their own moments in the spotlight by re-imagining the princesses in creative ways. The latest version comes from Japanese digital artist Haruki Godo, whose new series of drawings called "Costume Swap" depicts Aurora, Ariel, Tiana, Rapunzel, and other animated Disney princesses wearing the clothing of their male counterparts!


The result is an awesome project that shatters traditional gender roles. "I'm very fond of love between a man and a woman—couples," Godo tells Yahoo Shine exclusively. "And I also love girls, so I thought if they wear their boyfriends' clothes, I would be very happy. They are my wishes." Godo posted the images, along with his other drawings, on the deviantART online forum. "To put it simply, in this series, they're enjoying cosplay," he writes on his page. 


Check out Godo's pieces to see Princess Jasmine trade in her crop top for a regal pantsuit and Ariel ditch her mermaid tail for sea-captain garb. Their new wardrobes may be atypical for Disney heroines, but if Kate Middleton is any indication, princesses don't always wear dresses.
