Trading in their traditional Victorian-style gowns for more up-to-date apparel, these girls look like your average Millennial. A part of her latest series of work, Anoosha created a series of digital illustrations which showcase a selection of Disney princesses as 21st century teens. The collection of work features Ariel, Belle, Jane, Jasmine, Mulan and Pocahontas as modern-day young women. In addition to their new looks, Anoosha also assigned each princess with a brand new occupation which does not include the royal life. While Ariel is an aspiring [marine biologist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe), Belle is a Game of Thrones-obsessed bookworm, Jane is a graduate in scientific illustration, Jasmine has taken up travel blogging, Mulan is a cadet and Pocahontas is an aspiring film industry culture adviser. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reimagined Disney Princesses:** Opportunity to create new and modern interpretations of classic characters that resonate with 21st century audiences. - **Millennial Fashion:** Potential to design and market updated apparel that reflects the style preferences of young adults today. - **Career Diversification:** Opening to explore alternative professions and occupations for iconic characters to appeal to a wider range of interests and aspirations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Illustration:** Demand for digital artists and illustrators to create contemporary and relatable interpretations of well-known characters. - **Fashion and Merchandising:** Opportunity to develop and sell clothing, accessories, and merchandise that reflect the updated and modernized image of Disney princesses. - **Entertainment and Media:** Potential to create new narratives and content featuring the reimagined Disney princesses to engage and entertain a diverse audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Sparkling Detailed Princess Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-girl-doll-1.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Film-Resembling Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-mermaid-doll.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Princess-Themed Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md)
