Princess Jasmine, the female protagonist in Disney’s 1992 animated movie “Aladdin,” is getting a wardrobe change with a more modest costume, reported entertainment-news site Hello Giggles on Tuesday.
Gone is the midriff-baring two-piece outfit the Arabian princess wears in the cartoon feature. The new costume to be worn by actresses portraying the character is long-sleeved, with a neckline that rests at the collarbone.
“Disney has slowly been rolling out brand new costumes for all the princesses in the park, and Jasmine’s one of the last to get a new look,” Hello Giggles said. “While obviously an updated wardrobe is never a bad thing, according to those in the Disney Princess know, one of the main reasons for this change is that many were complaining about Jasmine showing her stomach — which is totally understandable, especially taking young body-conscious girls into consideration.”
The Jasmine character in particular has been under fire from feminists as well as Muslim critics in recent years as an offensive role model unworthy of showcasing to impressionable young girls.
“The majority of Princess Jasmine’s numerous flaws stem from the fact that she is completely inaccurate and offensive to her culture. From the clothes she wears to the way she speaks, Jasmine does not represent Arab or Muslim women at all but rather a disgraceful woman in their culture. Unfortunately, Jasmine is not a suitable role model for young girls,” complained a woman writing at FanPop.com last year.
“Had Jasmine been portrayed more accurately, she would’ve been far more like Cinderella, Ariel or Belle. She would’ve been braver, kinder and more modest. She would’ve had more grace and poise the way a princess should. The most accurate Jasmine was portrayed in Aladdin was in her purple royal engagement announcement dress. That is the Jasmine who should be sold to the little girls. Not the spoiled, impulsive, shrew-like tease version of her.”

Non-Disney offense: Starring in Harmony Korine's ode to good-girls-gone bad Spring Breakers. And dating one of Hollywood's biggest douchebags Justin Bieber.
Non-Disney offense: Long gone is High School Musical's bubbly and blinged out Sharpay. Ashley's posing topless on the cover of Maxim and playing a hooker on Sons of Anarchy.
Non-Disney offense: Nude photos of the High School Musical star leaked in 2007, followed by topless shots of Baby V in 2009.
Non-Disney
offense: Shaving her head, attacking paparazzi with an umbrella, losing
custody of her children...2007 was a really bad year for the former
Mouseketeer.
Non-Disney offense: Xtina's choice of wardrobe during her Stripped album phase. But even that's tame compared to her multiple body piercings, which includes the singer's nipples and genitalia.
Non-Disney offense: During a 2006 interview with Blender magazine, the Phil of the Future star (along with her sister AJ) admitted she did not believe in evolution and said, "Monkeys? Um, no."
7. Hilary Duff
Non-Disney
offense: The occasional sexy magazine photo shoot, but other than that,
Hilary's got a clean record. You should vote her down on this list.
Stay classy, Lizzie McGuire!
Non-Disney
offense: The former Cheetah Girl turned into a very naughty girl with
semi-nude photos that leaked in 2008. And dating Rob Kardashian.
Non-Disney offense: Camp Rock
didn't teach classes on "how to take racy black and white photos in
your lingerie" or "drinking and Tweeting," did it? If so, sign us up!
Non-Disney
offense: Showing off a non-Disney amount of skin, appearing topless in
magazines and most recently on Mad Men. Not that I'm a prude or
anything, but it's definitely not something that would fly if she were
still under the Mouse's rule. And the world is better off for it.
11. Miley Cyrus
Non-Disney
offense: Miley went from singing "The Best of Both Worlds" as Hannah
Montana to smoking the good stuff in public and "twerking" in a unicorn
onesie.
12. Fergie
Non-Disney
offense: The Black Eyed Peas diva struggled with meth addiction in the
early 2000s, just a little over a decade after appearing on Kids Incorporated.
Non-Disney
offense: Showing off a non-Disney amount of skin, appearing topless in
magazines and most recently in Playboy. Not that I'm a prude or
anything, but it's definitely not something that would fly if she were
still under the Mouse's rule. And the world is better off for it.
Non-Disney offense: Where does one even begin? From multiple car wrecks, rehab stints and a jewelry theft charge, the Freaky Friday star does not mess around. We can sum it up best with this gallery of Lindsay's mugshots ranked best to worst.
