Buzzfeed writer Katie Corvino recently gave the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) princesses an unexpected makeover by giving them realistic body hair. The iconic princesses have undergone many different transformations over the years and now we are finally getting a glimpse of what they would look like if they had unkempt eyebrows and unshaven legs.

Using screenshots from [iconic Disney films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) and a little bit of Photoshop, Corvino shows us what the princesses would look like if they didn’t have access to razors or waxing. Each scene depicts a different princess with subtle traces of realistic body hair. One image shows Ariel gasping at her unshaven legs, while another depicts Snow White with life-like arm hair. However, Corvino doesn’t limit her drawings to arm and leg hair. She also depicts certain princesses with unplucked eyebrows including Mulan and Rapunzel.
