ARABELLA, 22, from Mexico City, describes her macabre look as 'Vampire Goth', which was birthed from her love of all things horror! Arabella has always felt more comfortable in this dark, creepy and yet elegant aesthetic and loves the attention she gets because of it. Arabella told Transformed: "I started with the Trad Goth style then I discovered the Vampire then fell in love with it. I like horror books and films like Dracula, Frankenstein and Nosferatu. I love the creepy and romantic aesthetic... Pale skin and red eyes." Arabella truly found herself when she discovered the 'Vampire Goth' subculture as before this she always felt out of place. She said: "Before I discovered all of this world, I had a lot of insecurities about my style, but now I love who I am and love the way I look." Today, Arabella is stepping completely out of her 'safe zone' and with the help of makeup artist Ana, she is being transformed from 'Vampire Goth' To 'Instagram Glam'... Something that Arabella describes as 'disgusting'! Arabella will be revealing her new look to best friends Adriana and Erin, but how will they react? Will they like the look of the new Arabella, or will they long for the Vampire to return?

00:00My style, it's like vampire, goth, dark, bloody.
00:05Today, I'm gonna be transformed
00:08into a Instagram glam model.
00:11To surprise my two best friends.
00:13I think they will hate it.
00:15I'm feeling nervous because I haven't been
00:19on that look since so many years.
00:24Oh my God.
00:25Oh my God.
00:26Oh my God.
00:26Oh my God.
00:27Oh my God.
00:28Oh my God.
00:29Okay.
00:31Oh my God.
00:35Hello.
00:36Hello, how are you?
00:37Nice to meet you, Arabella.
00:38Nice to meet you too.
00:39Are you ready?
00:40My name is Arabella, I'm 22 years old.
00:43I have been in this goth subculture since like 2018, I guess.
00:49This is my closet.
00:51As you can see, I have a lot of black.
00:54My style, it's like velvet, dark, bloody,
00:58it's like velvet fabric.
01:00I love this sleeves.
01:01This Victorian goth blouse, chokers, platform boots.
01:05I love them.
01:07Large skirts, large dresses.
01:10I think it gives Morticia vibes.
01:14This is my favorite.
01:15I really love it.
01:17It's obviously a coffin,
01:19but I think it gives like a lot of vibes to the outfit.
01:23I love the aesthetic, pale skin with red eyes.
01:28I love who I am and I love how I look.
01:33The look that we're doing for Arabella
01:35is an Instagram glamorous look
01:37that consists in a lot of glow and a lot of contour.
01:41So she will have like glow skin, golden eyeshadows
01:45and a little bit of black, but only in the eyeliner.
01:50Okay, she's coming now.
01:53I'm using kind of neutral colors first
01:55to give dimension to your eyes.
01:57And then I will do your liner
01:59and smoke it out just a bit of black.
02:01I started with the Treadgoth style,
02:05but then I discovered the vampire and I fell in love.
02:12I like the horror books too,
02:15like Dracula and Frankenstein
02:19and the movies, Nosferatu.
02:22All the vampires that have a movie.
02:26Why did you want to do this transformation?
02:30Before I have like this vampire Goth style,
02:35I think so much about a lot of likes
02:38and a lot of followers.
02:41Before discovering all of this world,
02:45I had a lot of insecurities about my style.
02:49What do you think of when you think of Instagram glam?
02:55No, that's disgusting.
02:57What's disgusting about it?
02:59I don't know.
03:00I think like they don't have a identity.
03:05Yeah, this is completely out of my safe zone.
03:11Why are you revealing the look to?
03:12I'm revealing this look to my two best friends
03:16and I think they will hate it.
03:21Hi.
03:22Hi.
03:23How are you?
03:24I'm fine.
03:25Hi.
03:28Are you nervous about?
03:30Yeah, I'm really nervous
03:31because it's like something that I've never tried,
03:35but I will keep it like a secret to you.
03:40That's exciting.
03:42We've never seen you with other type makeup.
03:46Very often the people judge me on the subway,
03:50on the streets, on my school, everywhere, everywhere.
03:55People normally looks me like I am a weirdo,
03:59I am an alien, I don't know.
04:02They took photos of me sometimes without my permission.
04:09How does that make you feel?
04:10Uncomfortable because I am not doing anything to them.
04:18Now I'm applying two foundations because of her shade.
04:21I'm mixing the Houselabs foundation with a Dear Forever.
04:32Okay, makeup is done.
04:34Oh my God.
04:35So let's put you in the outfit.
04:36Okay, let's go.
04:37Yeah, let's go.
04:40Are you ready to see yourself?
04:41Yeah, yeah, I'm ready.
04:43How do you think you're going to look?
04:45I don't know, maybe like a beautiful girl,
04:49a cute girl.
04:51Three, two, one.
04:59Oh my God.
05:01I look so different.
05:10I look so different.
05:17The makeup is amazing, but I look like a different person.
05:22I actually like the wig.
05:24Like, yeah, I think it fits so well
05:27with the outfit and the style.
05:30But I don't know about the color of the dress.
05:33Well, it's nice because of the sleeves.
05:36It has like this style that I like,
05:38but the color is not my type.
05:42I don't think I ever seen her
05:46without the vampire look.
05:50Yeah, me neither.
05:52I have never seen her in a different,
05:55with a different look.
05:56Would you prefer Arabella to dress in a different way?
05:59It will be interesting.
06:01What do you think it's going to be?
06:03Like a Barbie look.
06:05I don't know.
06:06I'm exaggerating in my mind.
06:18Okay.
06:20Oh my God.
06:24It's the same person.
06:26You look so good and pretty, but it's so weird.
06:29So different.
06:31How do you feel?
06:33I feel like,
06:34I don't know.
06:36It's not me, but I think it's fine.
06:38I like the dress.
06:39Yeah, it's beautiful.
06:40I like the sleeves.
06:42You look good.
06:43Yeah?
06:44Thank you.
06:45It's weird, but it's pretty.
06:50What do you like about this new look?
06:53The hair.
06:54Yeah.
06:55The color.
06:56It suits you so much.
06:58It's cute.
06:59It makes your hair look like
07:02on the soft side, I think.
07:07Girly.
07:09I prefer the gothic style.
07:12Yeah.
07:13The vampire look.
07:14I like more the vampire style.
07:16It's like, I don't know.
07:17It has more personality.
07:20What do you think of their reaction?
07:24Well, I think it was fun.
07:26Because, I don't know.
07:28I expected that they hate it,
07:31but I think they like it.
07:33And that makes me feel like,
07:37yeah, like fine.
07:39The makeup is like gorgeous,
07:41and the outfit too,
07:42but it's not me.
07:44I think this experience makes me think
07:47about those years that I was looking
07:50for attention and likes.
07:52And right now, I don't want that.
07:54And I don't want to be that person.
07:56And I just want to be me
07:57and love this goth style for all my life.
