Maleficent Inspired Outfits

Bonjour mes amis! I watched Maleficent in theatres a while back and I was completely mesmerized by the transformation of the classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty. The costumes, scenery, and even the original plotline were different from what one would expect. Today I bring to you three outfits inspired by Aurora, Maleficient and Thistlewit, one of the three fairy godmothers. If you haven't watched the movie and do not want any spoilers, I suggest you skip this post and come back after you've watched it.

For my first outfit, I was inspired by this picture of Aurora's outfit. She's wearing a pale blue dress with gold detailing. Her dress is very regal but still remains young and playful. I think it matches her personality perfectly and I love with the colour of the dress and the intricate detailing.

For my outfit, I'm wearing a light blue denim romper with simple, gold accessories. The romper itself is quite plain (and wrinkled) and like Aurora's dress, it gives a sense of youth and daintiness. The simple, gold accessories are a tribute to the gold detailings on Aurora's dress and they complete the look by adding a princessy vibe. This outfit is quite casual and can be worn to outings with friends, a picnic, or a trip to an amusement park.

The next outfit is inspired by this picture of Maleficent. She wears this outfit after she has been betrayed, and instead of the dress made up of light, dainty, layers she wears in the beginning of the movie, she wears an all black, leather outfit. This outfit communicates to the audience the grief Maleficent feels because of the loss of her wings and marks the change in her personality. The outfit is one colour but the feathers on her shoulders add interest and texture. She is also wearing a statement ring and bold, red lips to complete the outfit. 

My outfit features a navy blue ruffled shirt and a black highwaisted skirt (if you have a black shirt I recommend you wearing that but my wardrobe lacks the colour). The shirt adds texture to an otherwise plain outfit and the rustic looking necklace and ring give the outfit an aged look. The shape of the statement ring reminds me of ancient Greece and with the addition of the rustic looking metal, it gives the outfit an archaic feel. Combined with the necklace, this outfit screams deadly and mature.

The next look is inspired by Thistlewit. She is one of the fairies assigned to look after and protect Aurora. In this picture, she is wearing a green and yellow dress. The dress is made out of flower stems and petals and is very soft and delicate. The colours blend together, creating an ombre effect which I love.

For my outfit, I'm wearing green shorts and a yellow shirt to match the colours of Thistlewit's dress. The flower necklace represent the flowers that make up Thistlewit's dress and the winged ring represent her wings. This is the most casual out of the three looks and can be worn on an everyday basis.

And that's it folks! Three outfits for three different characters of the movie. Remember that this isn't supposed to be cosplay or anything like that. I'm simply getting inspiration from the characters and transforming their costumes to something wearable. I have to say that my Maleficent inspired outfit is my favourite. It's edgy and chic. The look is something I would have never thought of but looks very put together and polished. If you have anymore inspired outfits you want me to do, please leave them in the comments.
