BEHOLD HUMAN DISNEY PRINCESS! Model and Makeup Artist Hamel Patel Recreates Disney Princesses on Instagram

Disney princesses are often the inspiration for endless fashion and beauty ideas. You can now dress like Ariel or Cinderella at your prom, and Snow White and Sleeping Beauty even got the Coachella treatment this year. And with all the Disney movies getting the live-action treatment, it's understandable to have the itch to become a Disney princess IRL.

One model has decided to do just that — but with her own twist on the classic fairy tale heroines. As spotted by BuzzFeed, Indian model and makeup artist Hamel Patel has recreated the looks of the eight original princesses on Instagram, from Snow White all the way to Mulan— with a powerful and personal twist.

With the use of dazzling costumes, clever props, and hypnotizing makeup, Hamel literally transforms herself into each of the characters, and each 'gram is more gorgeous than the last. As Snow White, the model fixed a red bow atop her head and posed with a "poison" apple. She selected shimmering baby-blue eyeshadow and a matching headband for Cinderella, and as Ariel, she even fastened a fork (ahem, a dinglehopper) to her hair. For each princess, Hamel also incorporated traditional Indian attire into her looks, like a sari or a bindi. It's no surprise that the model and makeup artist has over 30,000 Instagram followers; her photos are a total inspiration, and offer the reminder that anyone can be a Disney princess.
