In the fantasy sequel to 2014's movie, Angelina Jolie reprises her role as the dark fairy Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Elle Fanning as her goddaughter 'Princess Aurora'.

This time around Michelle Pfeiffer's 'Queen Ingrith' sees the opportunity to wipe out all magical folk from the Moors when her son 'Prince Philip' asks Aurora to marry him, using her cunning to drive a wedge between Maleficent and her adopted daughter and foment war between humans and the fae.

This costume from the movie worn by Angelina Jolie as Maleficent (minus her impressive CGI wings) when she attends the royal dinner to celebrate Aurora and Philip's engagement was photographed in the foyer of Hollywood's infamous El Capitan Theatre on October 24, 2019.

In the film Aurora encourages her godmother to wear a black scarf over her horns to make both her and the humans in attendance more comfortable with her appearance.

These original costume creations were designed by Anna B. Sheppard, whose work can also be seen in Captain America: The First Avenger, The Pianist, Dragonheart and Schindler's List amongst many others.

As she lives in the forest you can see that Maleficent's clothing is influenced by nature, like animal skins, feathers and bones, even the colour choices of this garment are very earthy. Her spiky, edgy-looking ring and bracelet jewelry looks like it is made from wood or bone materials. She wears this costume when we are introduced to the grown-up Maleficent flying high over The Moors.

Be sure to also take a look at Maleficent's Christening curse costume and if you're a fan of the actress, be sure to also check out Angelina Jolie's 1920's period costume from Changeling.

as Princess Aurora in Maleficent

In addition to this woodland Maleficent outfit, they also had this hooded costume (minus the belt) worn by Elle Fanning as the infamous Sleeping Beauty herself, Princess Aurora, who the vindictive fairy curses as a baby.

I'm sure all you costumers out there will appreciate the embroidery detail on the sleeves, neckline and hem of the dress.
