What would your favorite Disney princesses have actually looked like IRL?
Watch these models transform into historically accurate Disney princesses:
Disney creates fictional worlds for their princesses to live in, drawing on historical and mythical inspiration to create beautiful fairy tales. We wondered what the princesses would’ve looked like if they’d existed in the real world, so we used context clues from the films to determine, as specifically as possible, the time and location of each Disney princess’s story.
*based on the Disney films, not the original source material.

Jasmine, Aladdin - c. 300s Arabian Peninsula
CONTEXT CLUES:
- “Salaam,” an Arabic greeting, is used several times.
- The opening song, Arabian Nights, is pretty clear about where this story takes place.
- When Genie makes over Aladdin into Prince Ali, he says, “First, that fez and vest combo is much too third century”; making it seem like Aladdin must take place in at least the 4th century A.D.
