"  It&amp;#039;s no secret that the animated Disney princesses don&amp;#039;t exactly represent what real girls look (and dress!) like. From whittled-down waists to super glam wardrobes, today&amp;#039;s Disney princesses may not be the damsels-in-distress of days past, but they still basically look the part. Which is why, when costume designer Anna B. Sheppard started creating the costume for Disney&amp;#039;s Maleficent, she wanted to reimagine Princess Aurra in a more realistic way.  &amp;quot;When we meet Aurora, she lives in the forest and her dresses are probably made by the crazy fairies that we see in the human form. They are very eccentric and full of character,&amp;quot; Sheppard told Vanity Fair about Maleficent&amp;#039;s Princess Aurora, played by Elle Fanning.  So unlike the cartoon version of Aurora, who wears an off-the-shoulder gown and heels, she wanted Aurora to wear something more fitting to the story and woodsy setting, and tried &amp;quot;to stay away from something that is too modern and too sexy.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t want to create that impression that she is dressed up. She wore all handmade shoes\u2014in the forest, she wears a little ankle boot with lacing up the side that is the same color as her dress,&amp;quot; Sheppard explained.  All we have to say to that is : Y-E-S. Bravo, Anna B. Sheppard! What do you think about Sheppard&amp;#039;s more realistic version of Princess Aurora?
