A six-year-old girl is ending Black History Month on a high note by recreating iconic album covers by black female singers.

With the help of her mom Miriame, little Abby Elle dressed up as stars like Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys to do her own versions of some of their most famous album artwark.

The seven photos, which were posted on Instagram this week, were created to celebrate Black History Month and pay tribute to some of the most influential black women in recent pop culture history.

Abby is a model, dancer, and actress, according to her Instagram account. Her mother Miriame supports her work and runs the account.

Miriame came up with the idea of the R&B tribute for Black History Month, and enlisted the help of some professionals to make the series really stand out.

Along with photographer Ernie Michael Hall and graphic artist Glen Thomas, Miriame helped Abby pose as seven different female R&B singers on their album covers.

Abby not only dressed like stars including Whitney Houston, Brandy, Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, and Missy Elliot, but she also emanated their attitudes and facial expressions seen in the original photos.

Graphic artist Thomas then gave each recreated album cover an updated version of the original text, tweaking it to incorporate Abby's name in place of the original singer.

Miriame said that they created the photo series to educate others about the musical icons.

Tough work: The project took a month to complete between recreating outfits, posing Abby exactly right and designing the photos to resemble the original album covers

'I wanted to pay homage to some awesome singers,' she told BuzzFeed. 'I basically picked artists I grew up listening to in my childhood and as a young adult. I wanted to show my daughter some of the singers I've loved throughout the years.'

In creating the photo series, Miriame hoped to empower not just Abby, but other young people as well, through teaching about powerful icons in Black History.

'Young black children are aware of the current racial climate in the US because it's always in the media,' she said.

'I hope we ensure that our children have pride and self-love and love the color of their skin and the texture of their hair.'

The project took a month to complete, and Miriame said that her young daughter enjoyed it every step of the way.

'She loves taking pictures, acting, and dancing and loves dressing up and getting into character.'

Abby is clearly talented when it comes to getting into characters. In each of the seven photos posted to her Instagram account, she remarkably embodies the original woman's pose, facial expression, and overall attitude.

That's a wrap: The completed project had seven recreated album covers by R&B singers including Brandy, Whitney Houston and Missy Elliot

Abby's first album cover pays homage to Anita Baker's 1986 Rapture. She sits barefoot in a black dress just like Baker, and poses herself in the same way, holding one wrist with the opposite hand.

In Abby's version of Whitney Houston's 1985 self-titled debut album cover, she wears a draped garment with a pearl necklace and poses regally, just like Houston.

Instead of the name 'Whitney Houston' across the top of the image, Abby's version says 'Abby Houston.'

Next up, Abby showed her version of Brandy's 1994 self-titled debut album, with her own name printed across the image instead of Brandy.

In Abby's iteration of Toni Braxton's 1993 self-titled debut album, she stands with one hand touched to her chin wearing jeans, a white tank top and a leather jacket, alongside the printed words 'Abby Braxton.'

Abby also recreated Erykah Badu's 1997 debut album Baduizm, Alicia Key's 2001 album Songs in A Minor and Missy Elliott's 1997 Supa Dupa Fly, each mixing Abby's own name into the heading.
