With her voluminous wings and two gorgeous crowning horns, Maleficent is undoubtedly a remarkable fairy and mistress of evil. Maleficent, as played by Angelina Jolie in the progressive retelling of the classic fairy tale, is a character that is nuanced and complex. As her goddaughter Aurora narrates, Maleficent is “both the villain and the hero” of the story. With very small effort, you can cosplay this magnificent character with the help of this Maleficent costume guide.
Who is Maleficent?
In the reimagining of Charles Perrault’s and Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent’s character has been turned from an inherently evil villain into a magical, powerful fairy. She is the sole protector of a peaceful kingdom called the Moors, a home to a variety of mystical and fairy-like creatures. Her kingdom is a colorful world of forests and vines that is hidden from a king fueled by greed and his bellicose army. The power-hungry king plans to purge the fantastical creatures that are more powerful than his army combined, and to get hold of the Moors, he sends Stefan, a human and Maleficent’s true love, to steal her wings in exchange to becoming his heir.
Blinded with rage, Maleficent vowed to protect her magical realm with an evil and dark magic. Seeking vengeance against King Stefan a few years later, Maleficent puts a curse on an infant Aurora: at the age of 16, the princess will prick her finger on a spinning wheel spindle before the sun sets. Princess Aurora and her whole kingdom will fall into a death-like sleep, from which only a true love’s kiss can awaken her. Over the years, Maleficent has grown to love the princess as her goddaughter. Regretting her decision, Maleficent seeks to undo the curse with her magic. Failing to do so, she remorsefully kisses Aurora’s forehead, which fulfills the true love’s kiss antidote to the spell.
