THIS music fairy describes her aesthetic as ‘cottagecore’, ‘fairycore’ and ‘goblincore’. Zelda, aka Freckled Zelda said: “I’ve always been interested in fairies because they always make me happy.” She loves bright colours and has never tried ‘emo’ or ‘gothic looks. She said: “In a way I feel like I can pull off anything but I’ve never tried anything like this before.” A key part of her cottagecore fairy look is the accessories she adds - including ears and hair spirals she makes herself. Today, Zelda will be transformed into a gothic-inspired look complete with black leather, lace, chunky boots and a wig. She said: “Fingers crossed I look hot.”

00:00 Today I'm transforming from a cottagecore fairy to a gothic look.
00:04 In a way I feel like I could pull off anything, but I've never tried something like this before.
00:09 I was just wondering if you've worked with other fairies before?
00:12 I haven't, it's my first time.
00:13 This is so exciting!
00:14 Looking gothic.
00:16 I'm going to be revealing this new look to my younger sister and my mom and dad.
00:21 I don't even recognize you.
00:23 You actually look better.
00:27 I've always been into the fairy cottagecore style my whole life.
00:31 I've just always been surrounded in it.
00:33 My name is Zelda, also known as Freckled Zelda, and I'm a music fairy.
00:37 I would describe my style, my aesthetic, as cottagecore, fairycore, goblincore.
00:42 The key elements of my look are fairy, beauty, nature, woodland elf, fantasy vibes.
00:49 I've always been interested in fairies because they always make me happy.
00:55 I get a lot of joy from being a music fairy.
00:57 Most of the time, I just really love bright colors.
01:02 I never go for emo or gothic looks.
01:05 In a way I feel like I could pull off anything, but I've never tried something like this before.
01:10 Today I'm transforming from a cottagecore fairy to a gothic look.
01:14 Have I ever experimented with the gothic style?
01:17 Not really.
01:19 I have some gothic friends, and they are stunning.
01:23 I really admire the lifestyle and the aesthetic, but I've never really tried it myself.
01:28 So I'm anxious and scared to see this new style.
01:31 I just don't know if I'm going to be able to pull it off.
01:34 Hi!
01:36 It's nice to meet you.
01:37 Nice to meet you. I'm Daisy.
01:39 Nice to meet you, Daisy.
01:40 I'll be doing your makeup today.
01:42 I'm so excited. Well, come on in!
01:44 This is what you'll be wearing today.
01:49 A whole bunch of black, different hair.
01:53 Holy moly.
01:55 Oh, that's really nice. I love the lames.
01:59 That's amazing. I'm really excited.
02:01 Yeah, let's get into it.
02:03 I was just wondering if you've worked with other fairies before.
02:05 I haven't. It's my first time.
02:07 That's so exciting!
02:08 What attracts me to the cottagecore fairy aesthetic is so beautiful to me.
02:15 There's a lot of accessories I stem from.
02:17 Oh, my number one hair accessory I love to do is the hair spirals.
02:22 I actually make hair spirals myself.
02:24 Have you ever tried hair wraps like this?
02:27 No, but I would love to.
02:29 Pretty pastel, vibrant dresses, nature.
02:33 Green dresses are my favorite thing to wear.
02:35 My ears are constantly fluctuating.
02:38 Different shapes and sizes.
02:39 Gotta love the big ears.
02:46 How does it feel getting your makeup done?
02:48 It honestly feels really good.
02:49 I've never had my makeup done before, so this is a new experience for me.
02:53 Why were you open to doing this transformation today?
02:56 I've always been interested in the gothic style,
03:00 and I really admire that fashion,
03:03 so I think it'd be really interesting me trying that today.
03:06 I'll be revealing this new look to my family,
03:09 and they're probably going to freak out.
03:11 My friends and family, they were a bit skeptical of this look first,
03:15 but over time I really showed them that this is what I love to do,
03:19 and this is where I find the most joy, being a fairy,
03:23 and sharing my fairy music with the world,
03:25 and they've really wound up to this.
03:27 How people react to me in public, usually really positive.
03:32 A lot of older people, boomers, they give me dirty looks.
03:37 I own this look, and I'm never going to change for anyone.
03:41 Gothic clothing really stems from black and white, I feel like.
03:46 I never wear those colors now that I think about it.
03:49 Fingers crossed I look hot.
03:51 I think you're going to look hot.
03:52 Thank you so much.
03:53 Like the boots, the makeup, everything, the wig.
03:56 Yeah.
03:57 You can buy them.
03:58 Yay.
03:59 Love it.
04:01 That might be longer than my natural hair.
04:08 I never wear wigs, so this is going to be very out of the ordinary for me.
04:12 Woohoo.
04:14 Oh my gosh.
04:16 I'm so scared.
04:19 I love it.
04:21 Like I think I'm just going to be so shocked.
04:26 Oh man, I'm really nervous.
04:31 Okay, are you ready?
04:32 Ready as I'll ever be.
04:34 [Music]
04:42 I don't recognize myself.
04:43 Who is that?
04:45 [Music]
04:49 Oh my goodness.
04:51 That's not my face.
04:54 I'm so pale.
04:58 How do you feel about it?
05:00 I like it.
05:03 The purple eye shadow really brings a lot to it.
05:06 And the shoes are unbelievable.
05:09 Love the makeup.
05:11 The eyes are really impressive.
05:13 And the top is really cute, you know?
05:17 I want to wear this again.
05:18 This is really crazy.
05:21 You know what's missing?
05:22 It's missing ears.
05:24 So how do you feel seeing yourself like this?
05:27 Does it feel like a gothic look?
05:29 This feels genuinely gothic.
05:32 I don't feel like myself.
05:34 Like this just doesn't feel like me.
05:36 It doesn't look like me.
05:37 Like that's a completely different person.
05:38 Yeah, it is, yeah.
05:39 This is definitely a more mature look than what I usually go with the fairy style.
05:44 Thank you so much, Daisy.
05:46 You look amazing.
05:47 Thank you, the makeup's great.
05:49 You look good.
05:50 Super cute, thank you.
05:52 I am really nervous.
05:55 I'm not sure how they're going to react.
05:57 This is so different from the usual me.
06:01 We've been surprised at a lot of the things that Freckled Zelda's been through.
06:05 So it should be quite exciting to see.
06:08 Really not a lot of expectations, just excited to see the transformation.
06:13 Oh, my gosh.
06:17 I don't even recognize you.
06:18 What the?
06:19 Wow.
06:21 No way.
06:22 Who is this person?
06:23 You look weird.
06:25 What the heck?
06:26 Oh, my gosh.
06:28 It's a different person.
06:30 Are we related?
06:31 I don't recognize my face.
06:32 I can't believe it, actually.
06:34 Your face looks completely different.
06:36 Completely different.
06:37 The makeup artist did too good of a job.
06:39 You actually look better.
06:41 What do you think of the new look, Rebecca?
06:43 I think you look a lot better.
06:45 I like the shoes a little.
06:46 The shoes are really cool.
06:47 The shoes are my favorite, too.
06:49 I'm way more comfortable in my fairy style, so I'm sad to say I probably wouldn't try this again, but A, I admire it.
06:57 You should change your persona to like Freckled God.
07:00 You know what?
07:03 Suck it, guys, because I'm going back to the fairy and I'm never turning around.
07:07 My family acted very shocked.
07:13 They have never seen me wear anything like this, and it's nice for me to branch out and try something new.
07:20 This experience was really fun for me.
07:23 I would incorporate a little bit of this style into my future looks.
07:27 The boots are sexy.
07:30 I do like a lot of aspects of the makeup.
07:33 I want to try that for future fairy looks.
07:35 Oh, I absolutely want to keep the clothes.
07:39 I will definitely be reusing this, and honestly, if I decide not to keep any of this, I'll give it to my sister.
07:48 She'd love it.
07:51 I'm going to go wash this off now.
07:53 I want my fairy magic back.
