# Evil Queen-Inspired Fashion Hot Topic Has a Movie Fashion Collection Based on Disney's Maleficent By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-04-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movie-fashion References: [pinkisthenewblog](http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2014-04-15/hot-topic-introduces-the-maleficent-fashion-collection) & [hottopic](http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/Movies/Maleficent/FashionCollection/Look1.jsp?cm_sp=LP-_-Maleficent-_-Main_Next) Maleficent is one of the most elegant and frightening [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) villains and it's no wonder that she's inspired several [movie fashion lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1) and cosmetics before Disney's 'Maleficent' has even been released. Although the premiere is still quite a few weeks away, with the release date creeping up around the corner, Hot Topic is getting ready with a [dark fashion line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) inspired by none other than the wicked queen herself. The line includes hooded bat-winged capes, high-collared dresses and corseted tops that only venture out of the dark side enough to explore shades of deep gray. However, if you'd rather channel the look of a princess than an evil sorceress, the Hot Topic collection also features a number of looks inspired by the sweet sleeping beauty herself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Movie Fashion Collections:** Exploring dark and elegant fashion lines based on popular movies. - **Character-inspired Fashion:** Creating clothing and accessories inspired by iconic fictional characters. - **Dark Side Fashion:** Offering edgy and gothic fashion styles for those who prefer a darker aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity to collaborate with movie studios and create fashion lines inspired by popular films. - **Cosmetics:** Developing makeup and beauty products that capture the essence of iconic movie characters. - **Online Retail:** Providing a platform for specialized fashion collections that cater to niche interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Musical-Film-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Villainous Mobile Device Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-x-casetify.md) - [Villain Inspired Fragrance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2.md) - [Inclusive Bewitching Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hocus-pocus-apparel-collection.md) - [Limited-Edition Film-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-collection.md) - [Film-Themed Retailer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-x-disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md) - [Expansive Cinematic Clothing Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primark-x-wicked.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md)
