Transforming into Angelina Jolie as Maleficent for Halloween? It’s easier than it looks (and we have the gifs to prove it)
Angelina Jolie may have wowed us long ago with her enviable, pillow-like lips (learn how to get that look here), but this season we’re totally consumed with imitating her Maleficent look this Halloween. We haven’t been this obsessed with a Disney character since Princess Jasmine (did we just date ourselves?). Looking evil is hot (anyone who told […]

Pretty hurts: How Hollywood shaped the way we see evil beauty today
Evil beauty from the beginning »
Beauty, at Walt Disney Studios, is in the eye of the animator. Disney films have always conflated natural beauty with inherent goodness, unnatural beauty as inherent wickedness, giving their princesses and heroines the eyes, hair, lips, and skins female villains would kill for.
Sleeping Beauty, Disney’s 1959 masterpiece, is the best example of this dynamic: born with all the markers of ‘natural’ beauty, Aurora is both a good person and good to look at. She’s blonde, thin, graceful and beloved by animals, fairies and humans. She’s also almost entirely silent—in Ariane Lange’s piece on the history of pre-Disney Sleeping Beauty incarnations, she counts only 263 words spoken by our titular beauty, not counting lyrics she sings or the noises she makes in response to other characters. The action starts for Aurora when a single drop of blood appears on her sixteenth birthday, rendering her unconscious until a man comes to legitimize her existence with his mouth.
Our villain, Maleficent, is Disney’s greatest hot bitch in charge. In sharp contrast to Aurora, Maleficent is funny, a woman who speaks often and with great force, so bad and so beautiful all at once.

FASHION Magazine Summer 2014 cover: Elle Fanning
Photographed by Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa and styled by Zeina Esmail, Elle Fanning wears a dress, price on request, by Claes Iversen. Hair by Mara Roszak for L’Oréal Paris. Makeup by Erin Ayanian Monroe for Cloutier Remix. Fashion assistants, Amy Mach and Georgie Perrins. No 16-year-old on earth can compete with Elle Fanning’s Hollywood cachet. She’s been on set with Cate Blanchett, shopped Rodeo Drive with Sofia Coppola and partied with Miuccia Prada in Milan (being the current spokesperson for Miu Miu and all). If that doesn’t signal a gal who is going places, her latest role in this summer’s Maleficent—which has her sharing the silver screen with Angelina Jolie—will. (P.S. she already shared screen time with Brad Pitt in 2006’s Babel and 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
On the cusp of Fanning’s next phase of fame, FASHION magazine photographed the young starlet for our Summer 2014 Issue in the apropos confines of an estate home in the Hollywood Hills. After she was snapped in outfits by a mix of labels ranging from Blumarine, Delpozo and Paule Ka, Fanning sat down with features editor Elio Iannacci to talk about fashion, film and family time with the Jolie-Pitt clan. Here is a sneak peak of Fanning’s cover story, due to hit newsstand shelves on May 19, 2014.

See the complete M.A.C Maleficent collection »
M.A.C fanatics, your new obsession is here! The cosmetics giant is always good for going all out when it comes to collaborations, and the soon-to-launch limited edition M.A.C Maleficent collection lives up to our expectations. Designed to “delight the most demanding of dark sorceresses,” this colour cosmetics collection is definitely wicked: we’re talking blood-red shades of polish and lip colour, moody shadows and false lashes for dramatic flair.
Of the 14 products in the M.A.C Maleficent collection, we’re most intrigued by the Prep + Prime highlighter twist-up brush—sure to make anyone feel Sleeping Beauty-gorgeous after a long night out and about. Second to that is Penultimate Eyeliner, because when you’re designing an eyeliner inspired by someone clad in all black, the colour payoff is sure to be excellent. And finally, we’ll give you five seconds to guess the name of the aforementioned blood-red M.A.C Maleficent lipstick: it’s titled a very Disney-approved “True Love’s Kiss.”
