26 Editorials Inspired by Sleeping Beauty

From Fairytale Dresses to Darkened Childhood Films

— March 17, 2013 — Pop Culture
Disney characters have played a huge part in photography products, and those inspired by sleeping beauty seem to be among the most interesting. Playing on the unusual and rather frightening tale, these photo shoots feature gorgeous, vulnerable models posing beautifully while appearing to be asleep.

Not all depictions of the film are so pleasant to look at, however. A beauty blogger released a DIY video instructing viewers on how to make themselves look like Malifacent, the incredibly malicious villain from the film. Other disturbing additions include revamped scenes from the films that reveal the potentially dark nature of Disney stories.

Whether you identify more strongly with the victim, the villain or the hero from the story, there's no denying that photo shoots inspired by this unforgettable narrative are captivating, and will do anything but put you to sleep.
