After the many requests from you guys, our Disney inspiration series continues today with fashion inspired by the independent and adventurous Princess Jasmine from the movie Aladdin.
Like the previous articles in this series, the purpose of this article is to use a childhood idol as inspiration for outfits that you can actually pull off as a college student. All it takes is a little creativity! For more Disney-inspired looks, check out the articles on Walt Disney’s Snow White, Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Walt Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and Walt Disney’s Cinderella.
About Princess Jasmine – Story Recap
Princess Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah. She is frustrated with her life because she is denied the right to make important decisions for herself. All she really wants is to have adventures, but there is a law stating that she must get married. Of course, the princess refuses to get married to someone that she does not love.
Angry with her circumstances, she sneaks out of the palace dressed as a peasant, vowing never to return. When she enters the marketplace, she meets a young man named Aladdin and his pet monkey Abu. Meanwhile, the Grand Vizier to the Sultan, an evil man named Jafar, is on the hunt for a genie in a lamp. He finds out that Aladdin is the only one who can retrieve this lamp, so he has him captured and the Princess is returned to the palace. Before being separated, Aladdin finds out Jasmine’s true identity.
Jafar tricks Aladdin into getting the lamp, then attempts to steal it from him and leave him trapped in a cave. However, Jafar is unable to escape with the lamp. Now Aladdin has a genie to grant him wishes, and his first wish is to become a Prince so that he can marry Princess Jasmine.
Aladdin rides into Agrabah in a huge parade to make a grand entrance for the Princess. Jasmine, however, is not impressed and thinks Aladdin (now known as Prince Ali) is just like all of the other rich, pompous princes. That evening, he takes her on a magic carpet ride around the world, where she recognizes that he is the boy from the marketplace, but he lies and says that he is truly a Prince who dresses as a peasant from time to time.
The Princess is in love with Prince Ali and tells her father she wants to marry him. After the Sultan formally announces their engagement, Jafar steals the lamp from Aladdin and gains control of the genie. He reveals to everyone that Prince Ali is really just Aladdin, and makes Jasmine his personal slave. Fortunately, Aladdin tricks him into wishing he was the most powerful genie in the world, and Jafar then ends up locked in a lamp for all eternity.
Everything goes back to normal, and Jasmine tells Aladdin that she loves him even though he isn’t really a Prince. Her father recognizes her bravery and her love for Aladdin, so he changes the law and allows the two to marry.
1. Jasmine’s Aqua Outfit
Princess Jasmine’s everyday outfit consists of a cropped off-the-shoulder top and matching aqua pants. The outfit I made consists of a gorgeous shoulder-baring aqua dress, a headband similar to Jasmine’s, and cute pointy flats.
Headband- Anthropologie, Shoes- Endless, Dress- French Connection, Bag- ASOS, Earrings- Papaya Clothing
2. The Big Announcement
When the Sultan announces “Prince Ali” and Jasmine’s engagement, Jasmine is pictured wearing a gorgeous purple dress with volume around the waist. My outfit inspired by her purple dress consists of a sparkly lilac top, a voluminous skirt, and a headband. I also included tiger eye jewelry because, of course, Jasmine’s best friend is a tiger.
Top- Modcloth, Bracelet- ASOS, Headband- Barney’s, Skirt- ASOS, Earrings- Jessica London, Shoes- Baby Phat
3. Jafar’s Slave
When Jasmine is forced to be Jafar’s slave, she wears an outfit that is similar to her everyday outfit, except in red. Since her slave look is more sultry than usual, my “inspired by” outfit includes a sexy body-con dress and black and gold accessories, including a snake arm cuff like the one Jasmine actually wears.
Earrings- Monsoon, Shoes- Forever 21, Dress- Miss Selfridge, Arm Cuff- ASOS, Bag- ASOS
4. Another Aqua Outfit
Since Princess Jasmine is most often pictured in her aqua outfit, I decided to make another outfit inspired by that particular look.
Most Disney Princesses are depicted wearing dresses the majority of the time, but since Jasmine rarely wears dresses, I took the opportunity to make an outfit with pants that would be appropriate for work. For the outfit below, I chose harem pants with a similar shape to Jasmine’s, but in a neutral color so they don’t look like a costume. The top echoes the aqua in her outfit, and the accessories are inspired by the atmosphere of Agrabah, creating a very Jasmine-esque vibe.
Earrings- We Like Fashion, Bag- Nine West, Pants- Modcloth, Top- ASOS, Shoes- Endless
Bonus: Genie Fashion for Guys
Since the genie is one of my favorite characters in the movie, I decided to make a genie-inspired outfit for guys. (I know some of you read CF, too!) Whether your boyfriend or your closest guy friend really needs your fashion guidance, or if you just want to give him a new look, this genie outfit is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Since the genie has a fairly simple look, I used dark jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a lighter blue cardigan to achieve a similar aesthetic. For genie-inspired accessories, I added a red belt and gold watch.
Jeans- Levi’s, Watch- Endless, Tee- Gap, Belt- DC, Cardigan- ASOS
Thoughts?
Are you inspired by Princess Jasmine’s looks? Which other Disney characters would you like to see posts about in the future? I want to know what you think, so be sure to leave your thoughts in a comment!
This was so pretty, I loved the work look! But please, please, PLEASE do Belle! I actually just bought a yellow sundress because it reminded me of her (and because of your “casual” option for Cinderella – thanks for the idea!). All I can hope is that you’re saving the very best for last ;P
I like the pants and the shoes in the last last look…
loved the jafars slave look!! fantastic work again!
These are all great!!! and I agree Belle needs to be done!!!! I love the men’s look for this post! Great stuff!
These looks are all really fantastic. You have impressed me once again. I love Princess Jasmine because of her style potential. I enjoy the Genie-inspired guys’ outfit. Its really interesting and actually wearable. I could see my boyfriend wearing something similar.
Looking forward to Mulan!
Loooove the red dress look, and love jasmine! Thank you, this one seemed like it would be a hard one, but you chose some great outfits!
I love this! What beautiful outfits you’ve put together. I can’t wait to see the rest of the Disney inspired looks you come up with.
love love love these looks. wish i could pull them off!
These looks are amazing!!!! They remind me A LOT of jazmine and they are absolutely beautiful and fashionable!! Wow, congrats!!
I love this! I think my favorite is the first one but they are some seriously great pieces woven throughout.
Great picks! I’m not sure I would wear them, but they really do reflect Jasmine’s costumes as well as current trends. Good job, and I can’t wait for Pocahontas!
love it!!
i really like genie inspired look but on the other hand, it also makes me think of this outfit as a look inspired by superman lmao
anyway, great post!
I love the last look for women. Very clever, and really cute!
I totally love the guys outfit! The Jasmine outfits are cute as well but I think it’s great you did a guys bonus…
I’d love to see some Belle! I already made a Belle inspired outfit on my own, but would like to see what you come up with. I also think Mulan would be fun too!
This looks great! I love the genie fashion for guys, such a good idea! The big announcement outfit is my favorite 🙂 probably just because I love purple…the color of royalty!
I love the first outfit, as well as the one for Jafar’s Slave.
do esmeralda!!!
I totally love the second aqua outfit. It’s work-appropriate and really cute. Jasmin would approve! The slave and men’s genie outfit are awesome too. PLEASE do Belle!!!!
Please Please Please do Princess Belle next time!! 🙂 Thank youu!
Loved every look! Specially the Jafar’s slave one and the bonus, the harem pants for work are also real cute. We’re missing Belle and don’t forget that Tiger Lilly is also a Disney princess 😛
The whole slave outfit (from the movie) really disturbs me. It’s pretty obvious that she’s a sex slave to some degree. So for that reason I cannot be inspired by that outfit in particular. Otherwise, nice job with Disney Princesses! Looking forward to the rest!
I love this series!!! Great job, once again!!
Love the outfits! It would be great to see Princess Tiana and Belle. They’re not technically princesses, but you could make some really cool ensembles for Esmerelda, Jane (from Tarzan) and Megara (from Hercules).
What a cute post, Calli! Who doesn’t love Princess Jasmine? And the sample outfits are so cute – I love the bubble skirt!
Loved it! But please do Belle next?
Love outfit number 4, I’d wear it myself except change the pants to a skirt. The bonus look is also miles better than the outfits in the article about men’s fashion.
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for u to do princess jasmine since the first post she was definitely my top favorite disney princesses!! I hope u do esmerelda from the hunchback of notre dame even though she’s not a princess she was also a favorite of mine. Probably because she and jasmine weren’t pale skinned and blonde or had blue eyes they were darker skinned and had black hair so maybe i felt as if i could relate a little more to them. Thank God they finally made a black princess, Princess Tiana!! Can’t wait for her either!!
This is so great! I might make a Princess Tiana one for my blog…but I agree, Ezmerelda would be AWESOME!
Definitely loving this series. The last two outfits (pants and men’s look) were my favorites.
Love this series! The bonus outfit with pants wouldn’t be appropriate to wear where I work (the blouse shows too much arms and I’m not sure about the pants lenght, but I guess they would do in such heat), but I would wear it anywhere else, I really like those pants and shoes.
“Do you trust me?”,-Aladdin. Yes Calli i do trust you. I trust you to make college students around the world dress with the inspiration of Walt Disneys classic movies in an extremely mature and fashtionable way.
You are magnificent.
I really loved the genie outfit! You should do more disney guys as well as the gals. I’m all for seeing outfits inspired by Belle, but could you also do Esmerelda? I realize she’s not a princess, but I just love The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Thankyou so much for doing Jasmine!! Next outfit can it be Belle please ooh or Esmerelda thats a good idea! Pocahontas would be interesting aswell! 2 fav outfits for this one is jafar’s slave and Jasmine’s aqua outfit!
I would love to see megara from hercules! She’s my favorite!
I’m in love with this series. Seriously, it never gets old.
And hint-hint, I’d like to see Princess Kida from Atlantis sometime in the future. She’s got what’s probably my favorite character design of allll the princesses.
The outfits look so nice! Pleeeasee do Mulan and Megera later 😀
Awesome post for one of my favorite movies! And I agree with everyone else, Belle needs to be the next inspiration. And then I hoping for Mulan. 🙂
Ooh good ideas i didnt even think about Megera but i use to love her and definitely do mulan plz!
ohh I just got another great idea, do Giselle from Enchanted! it’ll be something kind of different but still fun 🙂
If you’re getting tired of people telling you how AWESOME this series is…
That’s too bad ;D becuase I HAVE to tell you, IT’S GENIUS!
Jasmine couldn’t have been easy to do, nice selections! The tiger eye detail, snake cuff, pointed shoes, it is all impeccable ^__^
As for suggestions, ESMERALDA the gypsy from Hunchback! PLEEASE!!~
I would LOOVE to see how you would add some gypsy magic into a modern girl’s day wardrobe ;D
** oops, I meant modern day girl’s wardrobe ;D ahah!
Keep up the fantasticcc writing!!~ Looking forward to it ^_^
That red dress is hot!! I love that you included the dudes in this too 🙂
This was a fabulous post! I love the entire series!!
For the next one– you should consider doing Anastasia. Its a Disney story people hardly think about and its not one of the more popular ones but I definitely believe the fashion in that movie is absolutely timeless! Even as a poor orphan Anastasia is perfectly lovely!
Beautiful! Could you do Esmeralda as well?
Love this series! So fun and creative! Hope Pocahontas comes next, she was always a favorite of mine!
Love the outfits!!
Please do Mulan next time!!! She’d be really interesting because of her dressing like a girl AND guy throughout the movie!
I love these! I would really enjoy Belle, Princess Tiana, and Meg from Hercules please!!!
Thank you for everything you do for us college fashion-goers.
This was a great post, it was my favourite from the series My favourite outfit was the first one, great dress. 🙂 I really think you should do one for Mulan. And Lisa I think the post for men were good but the actual blogger for guys was good, and since you’re not a guy I don’t think you can diss him.
*o not the post for men but the part for men
wow, that was so great!
jasmine is my favorite Disney princess and i think that you got her style spot-on, especially the shoes!

All of those outfits are damn perfect, le dress in the number 1 is magnificent, the skirt and the shirt in the 2 are beautifull , the third one is amazing with its red dress , and I’m definitely IN LOVE with the shoes on the fourth one .
ik wil graag een samen met me vriendin en ik een wepseit en dan kun we ons eigen dingen doen

Pleeeeaasseee do Tangled. It’s my absolute favorite Disney movie and it could make for some wonderful girly romantic outfits.
Interesting comments, feel that the amount of research you’ve done, the collections that have been put together could have been more imaginative to back up your findings.
Wow,nice post ! I greatly appreciate your innovation. It combines the Cartoon character with the real everyday life. When putting on these outfit, you cannot help having the illusion that you are princess Jasmine.
Love the last female look.
Oh my gosh – I adore this series!! I can totally see Jasmine in every one of those outfits! :DDD
I love the Jafar outfit the most, but I love all of the looks – especially the accessories that you chose. 🙂
Keep it up, and I hope to see more! 😀
i love this! TTM! Pls pretty pls do pocahontas next! 😀
