Talking About Fashionably Bad Girls

Angelina Jolie as “Sleeping Beauty” nemesis Maleficent in the upcoming 2014 film "Maleficent," told from the eeevil queen’s perspective

Who doesn’t like a good bad girl? Not Disney. The entertainment giant just introduced its Disney Villains Designer Collection of dolls featuring five villainous favorites from several animated films. The collection proves—as we've always known—that the villiains are the most fashionable characters. The launch includes the release of sketches for each villain, which are as much fun as the dolls and the films (animated and live-action) in which the characters appear.



The limited-edition collection will hit stores this fall.

Available in stores and online this fall, the limited-edition dolls in the lineup include Cruella de Vil from “101 Dalmatians,” Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty,” the Evil Queen from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” the Queen of Hearts from “Alice in Wonderland,” Ursula from “The Little Mermaid,” and Mother Gothel from “Tangled.”

There’salso a collection of Villains-inspired accessories and apparel—including rhinestone- and foil-detailed tops, sequined totes and silkscarves— launching at DisneyStore.com in August. Other Villains productsinclude cosmetics (lip gloss, eye shadow and eyeliner, and nailpolish); stationery and home décor.

I think it sounds like a grand idea—and a good excuse for a Disney Villains photo gallery. Feel free to slap on some bilious green eyeshadow, pop the collar on your satin cape and enjoy!
