Designer Dylan Charles Bonner from the 'Refinery29' blog recently featured the Kardashian family in his illustrated Disney divas series. The famous socialites have been the subject of countless pop culture parodies but this is the first time an illustrator has attempted to portray the celebrity clan as iconic Disney heroines.
This image series takes on the cast from all 10 seasons of the famous reality TV show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'. Bonner subsequently took each family member and turned them into a Disney princess that best mirrors their distinct personality. While Kourtney is transformed into the regal Jasmine from 'Aladdin,' Kendall channels the understated elegance of Cinderella.
Bonner's artistic portraits ultimately manage to turn the Kardashian clan into glamorous Disney divas who are still given characteristics that fit their personality.
