Although Disney Villains aren’t exactly role models, they do tend to be inspirational when it comes to fashion. And since winter is the perfect time of year for moody, dark outfits, I thought it would be fun to do some posts about fashion inspired by these wicked characters.

Last time, we talked about Cruella De Vil’s style. Next up is our Maleficent fashion guide. Scroll down to behold some wicked looks!

About Maleficent:

Maleficent, the evil fairy from Sleeping Beauty, is known as one of the darkest, most powerful Disney Villains. She has the ability to cast spells, transform herself, and control the weather. But despite her morbid characteristics, Maleficent remains a fan favorite.

Maelficient’s story begins at the baby Princess Aurora’s christening. As the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, are bestowing gifts upon the Princess, Maleficent bursts into the room with a flash. Offended that she wasn’t invited to the christening, Maleficent bestows a curse: Before Aurora turns 16, she will die by pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Aurora’s parents are devastated, but luckily a good fairy casts a spell to lessen the tragedy – Aurora will not die, but she will fall into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by the kiss of her true love.

On Aurora’s 16th birthday, Maleficent transforms herself into a spinning wheel and tricks the Princess into pricking her finger. Aurora falls into a deep sleep. When the good fairies discover her, they put the rest of the kingdom into a deep sleep, too, so they won’t have to endure the sorrow of what happened. Luckily, Prince Phillip, Aurora’s true love, was not in the kingdom when the fairies put everyone to sleep. In order to save Aurora and the kingdom, the Prince must fight off Maleficent’s obstacles and kiss the princess. Right before he reaches Aurora, he defeats Maleficent herself, in the form of a dragon. The kingdom and Aurora are saved.
