Elle Fanning reprised her role as Princess Aurora in the sequel.
Aurora has a close relationship with Maleficent, but things become tense between them when the princess agrees to marry Prince Philip.
Fanning paid homage to her character's pricked finger by wearing a glove that had crystal "blood drops" embroidered on it to the premiere.
"In "Sleeping Beauty," she pricks her finger, and there's blood involved," Fanning told "Entertainment Tonight" of the Gucci look she wore to the premiere. "They created this amazing design... and it's just a work of art."
While Fanning still has long, blonde hair in real life, she prefers to wear it straight as opposed to Aurora's wavy look.
