[Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns) fans waiting on the release of the Maleficent movie set to come out at the end of this month can channel their inner evil queen with this horned headband from Hot Topic.

The Maleficent film is a long awaited adaptation of the Disney’s cartoon Sleeping Beauty that came out in 1959. Jolie stars as the wickedly evil Maleficent dressed in all black and rocking some seriously tall pointy black horns on her head. This 3D horned headband made from black mesh wire features two horns shaped just like the ones Angelina Jolie sports on her head throughout the Maleficent movie.

While this headband might be too extravagant for everyday wear, you could save it for a killer Maleficent Halloween costume.
