Isaiah Stephens' Halloween Disney princesses series shows what the iconic characters would be likely to dress up as this season.
Stephens chooses costumes from pop culture characters that share similar colors, themes or personality traits as the princesses. For example, Aurora from the medieval setting of Sleeping Beauty is shown dressed as Daenerys Targaryen, the feisty Pocahontas dresses up as Katniss Everdeen and Rapunzel's long hair naturally makes her a perfect Sailor Moon. The series even includes some of the newer Disney females, like Charlotte La Bouff and Merida.
Stephens' 'Disney Halloween Series' is a fun way to dress the Disney princesses in costumes of strong female heroines that are popular and relevant this year for Halloween.
