If you grew up watching Disney princess films, then you’ve probably spent countless hours swooning over how beautiful and fabulous your favorite heroines are. Fortunately, with creativity on your part, you won’t need the help of fairy godmothers and talking mice to look like your favorite Disney princess. Here are some tips on how to look like a modern-day Disney princess.
Update Your Wardrobe
From Belle’s iconic golden ball gown to Ariel’s sexy clam-shaped brassiere, each Disney princess has a unique sense of style that sets them apart from all the other girls. Get inspiration from these fashionistas for your own wardrobe.
Of course, it’s not practical to wear a puffy ball gown when running errands, but you can still find modern pieces that evoke the drama of eighteenth-century royalty, such as a tiara-shaped headband.
Updating your wardrobe is all part of your fun transformation into Disney princess, so get creative with your sources. Check out specialty boutiques, or visit second-hand stores.
Pamper Your Hair
Every Disney princess sports a different hair color and hairstyle, but one thing is constant: they all have healthy and beautiful hair. Whether you are going for Snow White’s short black hair or Aurora’s long golden tresses, your new look will not be complete if you do not pay attention to the health and appearance of your crowning glory.
Here are some quick tips for getting gorgeous hair:
- If you dye your hair in the same color as that of your favorite Disney princess, make sure to condition and moisturize your hair after you shampoo so that it doesn’t dry out.
- Make your new color last longer by buying products specially formulated for color-treated hair.
- To prevent sun damage, apply a sun protectant if you stay outdoors for a long time.
- Minimize your use of heat-styling products like hair irons, curling irons, and hair blowers.
Upgrade Your Makeup Skills
Makeup can do wonders in helping you achieve the look you are going for. You don’t have to go overboard, though. The trick is to find your best features and accentuate them in the style of your favorite Disney royalty.
For example, if you love your eyebrows, then mimic Princess Jasmine’s perfectly defined brows, or if you want to enhance the way your eyes look, then use Snow White’s smokey eye makeup for inspiration.
Develop a New Hobby
Each Disney princess has a unique skill or hobby that makes them stand out. Belle enjoyed reading, Ariel loved collecting things, and Mulan was skilled at martial arts. Modern-day princesses are not obsessed about superficial things. They are passionate about many different pursuits.
The key is to find something that sparks your interest and invest time on it, whether it’s an important advocacy or a handy DIY skill. Learning a new hobby builds character, which, in turn, makes you shine from inside out.
Be Confident
Disney princesses each have their own unique traits and personalities but all of them are confident. Learn from your favorite heroines, and make confidence your best accessory. Take time to discover your strengths and develop them. In the same way, learn to accept and embrace your flaws and weaknesses.
Go Extra
You can take this Disney dream to the next level by creating a lookbook and selling clothes online so that others can get style ideas on how to achieve the Disney-princess look.
Being a modern-day princess isn’t just about looking beautiful. It’s about inspiring confidence in others, and when you are confident, then it will be easy for you to bring out the best in those around you.
