The Villains turned Princesses - プリンセス

For the past few days I have been hanging out with my nieces watching Disney movies, and I remembered my own childhood. Every girl at some point wanted a prince to be head over heels for her and start her happy ever after ......did that happen? NOPE... … AND these princesses get fairy god mothers for makeovers??!!? ANYWAYS 

MY question is .. What about the VILLAINS? The one who have CHALLENGE the princes? What about those women? Yes Disney turned them into wicked witches and/or dragons. So I am going to use my magic to reincarnate them into princesses. If these 10 villains (ok so I had to turn Ja’far and Hades into a prince just for the fun of it) were to be prince and princesses what would they wear?



Maleficent
She is the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil" who, after not being invited to the baby's christening, curses the infant Princess Aurora to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. ….bibidi babidi boo...I reincarnated her as a princesses wearing one of Zuhair Murad's gown.. Zuhair Murad collection blends the ancient heritage with a modern twist... perfect for Maleficent!! Don’t you think? Zuhair Murad happens to be one of my favorite couture house view his Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Collection here 




Lady Tremaine 
Lady Tremaine (also known as the Wicked Stepmother) is the main antagonist of Cinderella and its two sequels. The arch-enemy of Cinderella, Lady Tremaine doesn't harm her stepdaughter physically, but seeks to destroy her psychologically, motivated by jealousy of Cinderella's beauty, as it serves to accentuate the ugliness and awkwardness of the stepmother's own daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. Lady Tremaine is also a socialite, determined to gain higher status by marrying one of her daughters to Prince Charming…..
bibidi babidi boo.. bibidi babidi boo.. bibidi babidi boo (ok so the 3rd time was the charm) .. turning Lady tremaine, chic and beautiful was a challenge but I think I have modernized her look all together…. Who needs Charming for higher status?




The Queen (snow white) 
The Queen is beautiful, but narcissistic and cruel. She marries a widowed king, who has a daughter called Snow White. The Queen envies Snow White's beauty, and so tries to have her killed, setting the story in motion. So I styled the Queens in Jean Paul Gaultier ; now it’s Snow White’s trun to be envious. 






Ursula The Sea Witch -
Ursula is a cecaelian sea witch who "helps" unfortunate merfolk to achieve her own goals. Dressed in Fausto Sarli’s gown, I think she isn’t going to stop with only the merfolk this time .. that’s all folks watch out!!  For this divine creature..




Madame Medusa
Madame Medusa is described as greedy and obsessed (New Yorker). She is also very crazy, ill-tempered and sometimes unstable; which makes her intimidating at times. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants…Well Intimidating is a GOOD thing so I decided she shouldn’t lose that part of her character when she reincarnates so I dressed her in RED Alexandre Vauthier now she looks like an angel in red … you thought she was intimidating in the rescuers?? bibidi babidi boo…




 Yzma
Yzma is malicious and power hungry. She desires to become Empress and rule the kingdom, but is prevented by virtue of Kuzco having the position. Instead, she is first the king's advisor. She sees herself as the most beautiful person in the land, despite the fact that most people consider her hideous and often compare her to a dinosaur. When making plans to harm Kuzco, she often attempts to create overly complicated plans, before settling on a simpler version. However, she often fails to pay attention to minor details which results in her plans being thwarted (Her catchphrase is "It's brilliant, brilliant, brrrrilliant!")…. Hahaha if you haven’t watched this movie you HAVE TO ITS HILARIOUS … ok back to the fashion I styled yzma in Zuhair Murad ( I think I have conformed how obsessed I am about their designs!!) no one will DARE call her a dinosaur in this outfit

It's brilliant, brilliant, brrrrilliant



Cruella De Vil
Cruella De Vil is the main antagonist of the 101 Dalmatians franchise. She is a wealthy, fashion-obsessed heiress who wishes to use the skins of 99 Dalmatian puppies for a fur coat…. Ok so I'M against using REAL fur...
Look at this bunny HOW COULD YOU!!!!

I don’t mind faux but still I figured I wanted to divert cruella’s obsession.. so I reincarnated her to obsess over layers of fabrics instead!!  So I styled her in Christophe Josse

The Queen of Hearts
One word: psychotic. All the residents of Wonderland are mad (insane), but the Queen of Hearts is the most dangerous of them, having the most power. She completely dominates her weak husband, the King of Hearts. She likes to hear the words "Yes, your majesty", and insists that "All ways are my ways!"…. I personally love that phrase ALL ways are MY ways <- gets me in trouble lol… Ok so we have seen the non-Disney movie of alice in wonderland and the costume designer Colleen Atwood did an amazing job!! So I stopped myself from picking a 18th century silhouette (aka- puffy dress) that I had in mind for the Queen of heart and decided she was going to be reincarnated wearing Alexandre Vauthier geometrical- modern RED dress instead.





Now on to MY PRINCE’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hades
Hades is the Greek God of the Underworld and the main antagonist of Hercules Hades appears as a blue-grey humanoid with flaming hair and a smoky base who is normally eccentric and cynical, but is very easily angered.. Hummmmm reincarnating the Greek god of the UNDERWORLD was a hard thing to do, I had to bribe him with Jean Paul Gaultier collection .. It worked!! Hehehe ..he had no idea I was turning him into a prince!! God these villains should read the terms and conditions before acceptingTM ;)



Jafar
Jafar is tall and thin, and almost always depicted in flowing robes of black, dark red and other moody colors. He also carries a cobra-head staff, which he uses for his sorcery. Ok so I had a hard time to choose which one of these two should I pick to portray ja’far I have posted a poll click on your fav ja’far of the two styles:

OR

Oh remember Aladdin??.. jafar looks like this:
