The internet is obsessed with this teen who transforms herself into iconic female characters


Tons of girls have an Instagram account full of self-portraits, and Annelies van Overbeek is no exception. But there's a twist: the 17-year-old fashion blogger from Belgium transforms herself into iconic female characters from all ages. From Sabrina's Audrey Hepburn to The Great Gatsby's Carey Mulligan, there's no look that Annelies can't accomplish with the right make-up, hairstyle, outfit and accessories.

Her IG account has accumulated more than 60,000 followers, many of whom have expressed deep admiration for her ability to manipulate her facial expressions to completely turn herself into vintage and historic personalities. Check out more of her photos and give her a follow @bewitchedquills.

She says her inspiration comes from dreams, books, love for history and general life experiences, good and bad. To see more of Sheri's work, follow her on Instagram .

"The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
