Graphic designer Maria Bayley recently transformed the Orange is the New Black cast into Disney princesses with these revamped posters for the hit Netflix show. The illustrations feature portraits of various female inmates from Litchfield prison transformed into Disney princesses.
Orange is the New Black released its second season earlier this month exclusively to Netflix. While Bayley reimagines posters from the first season, many of the characters from season one carry on over into season two. The illustrations feature various heads of iconic Disney princesses Photoshopped onto the bodies of the actors. For example, Elsa from Frozen is Photoshopped to look like Piper Chapman and Mulan is turned into Alex Vause. It’s interesting to see what these goody-two-shoe princesses would look like if they ever turned into boisterous convicts.
