Disney movies are filled with magical settings, pretty princesses, goofy sidekicks, battles of good versus evil, handsome princes, catchy songs and, of course, vicious villains. People may not be rooting for the bad guys and gals of these tales, but fans are sort of fascinated with them, due to their power, their threats, and their dark and dramatic wardrobes.
Yes, some of the most well-known Disney villains are so iconic because of their fashion choices. They usually wear deep colors, there are usually angular details, and there are sometimes even creepy accessories like staffs and hats with skulls on them. These are the best of them all.
Lady Tremaine
First on the list is Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s evil stepmother. While she acts in wicked ways, she is a very poised and put-together woman, and her ensemble echoes that.
She wears a burgundy dress with pink details, along with jewelry in a turquoise/emerald color. From the slim fit and the ruffle around the high collar to the polished hairstyle, this is a very elegant and stylish outfit.
Ursula
Many Disney villains wear black and purple, including Ursula; her dress is a strapless one that goes all the way down to her tentacles, showing off all her curves. She also accessorizes with purple shell earrings, lots of makeup, and that notable gold shell necklace.
Madame Medusa
Another fashionable antagonist can be found in The Rescuers: Madame Medusa. She runs a pawn shop, is obsessed with finding the Devil's Eye diamond, and dresses like she is really into herself.
For most of the film, she is wearing a revealing red dress, which matches her fiery hair and personality. Medusa is also shown in a pink nightie and purple coat with fuzzy trim, and she is always in lots of makeup and jewelry, too.
Jafar
One key to being a true Disney villain is to wear flowing robes like Jafar. His garments fit the setting of this story and the style of this character well. The robes are, of course, full of blacks and reds, and they are accented with gold, showing his influence in the palace. One of these gold accents is a cobra-head staff, something that adds to the menacing look and helps him get his way.
The Evil Queen
Next is the first Disney villain ever, the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and she is another one who dons purple and black, with touches of gold. Some of the stand-out pieces in her outfit include a high collar, a belt and a pointy crown.
Captain Hook
As the leader of a pirate ship, Captain James Bartholomew Hook certainly dresses in an impressive way. His go-to look is made up of red pants, a red coat and a red hat, and there are intricate gold details throughout. He also carries a sword and has his hook and his mustache, which add to the intrigue.
The Queen of Hearts
It is time for the five best looks seen on Disney villains, beginning with The Queen of Hearts. As her name suggests, this woman wears a dress that is a nod to playing cards, with black, red and white and with hearts on it.
She also wears white bloomers with hearts on them, gold earrings, and a small but fancy crown.
Dr. Facilier
In recent years, another fashionable look has popped up on a bad guy, and that would be Dr. Facilier, a.k.a. the Shadow Man, from The Princess and the Frog. As a witch doctor, he wears several unique and spooky items.
There is a top hat that includes a purple feather and a skull and crossbones on it. There is a necklace made out of crocodile teeth. There is a maroon tailcoat, a purple vest, and a red cummerbund, all of which show off his midriff a bit.
Maleficent
One of the most iconic Disney villain outfits belongs to Maleficent; it is sleek and refined, without too many frills or accents, but it makes a true and terrifying statement.
This evil witch wears a black robe with purple detailing, she carries a staff, and atop her head, she has these tall and pointed horns.
Yzma
In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma wears a couple of different and interesting clothing items, though she does always seem to gravitate towards black and purple.
Yes, this evil sorceress has been seen in dresses, headpieces, and jewels, and all of her fashion choices put her dramatic and glamorous side on display. She may not be as popular as some of the others on this list, but she is one of the most fashionable.
Cruella De Vil
Finally, there is the best-dressed villain from Disney, Cruella de Vil. From her two-tone hair and her long cigarette to her slinky black dress and fur coat, Cruella is known for her wardrobe, and that is the central problem in her movie.
Even though she wants to hurt those adorable little puppies, she does dress in a very chic way.
