Hai Guyz,
A friend of mine was talking about Maleficient at work, and it occured to me the many similarities between Maleficient and Vivienne.
Here is what I have noticed so far:
1.) they wear the exact same hat.
2.) They both use magic
3.) They are both nobles
4.) Both are amoral
5.) both were voiced by Angelina Jolie
I am surprised Disney hasn't sued Bioware yet. Then again, Disney is probably in the prcoess of buying Bioware as we speak.
It's a deliberate homage.
In legal and ethical terms, the difference between homage and plagarism works out like this.
"Plagiarism is when you steal something and claim you invented it. Homage is when you say, yeah, that's my version of this guy's work."
They said multiple times that they drew inspiration for Viv's appearance from Maleficient.
I'm not sure if it really works personally, but at the same time it doesn't look THAT out of place. So, artistic licence bla bla, what ever floats your boat. >.>
Vivienne was not voiced by Angelina Jolie. You're thinking of Krem.
Neither was Krem. 
As for the OP, Bioware has stated since DA2 that they looked to disney films for inspiration believe it or not. They said Orsino was disney inspired, and a few other things/people. If anyone resembles Maleficent it's Flemmeth. They both even use the phrase "Well.. well.."

They also both become dragons.

And depending on your choice in a certain quest, she also has a raven familiar...
Because it is a major plan to destroy the Qunari's planned invasion by using mind techniques to convince the Qunari warriors she is a tamassran, and send them all to back home to bed before it even starts. Maybe even without dinner.
But in all seriousness because she was based on Maleficent, except she is much more clever and acting less out of vengeance and more because she has a plan for herself and keeping to it.
At least she doesn't look like the X-Men's Storm.
Vivienne was not voiced by Angelina Jolie. You're thinking of Krem.
You're both wrong. Angelina Jolie voices Cullen, not Vivienne or Krem...
Vivienne doesn't seem amoral at all. Where do people get this stuff?
And Morrigan obviously was Morgana le Fay from Arthurian legend. Witch with dark magic and amoral as well.
Because it's what is in fashion my dear.

Better question, why does Solas resemble Nicolas Cage? They both look like Nicolas Cage and they both love museums.
Solas' quest where you have to steal The Elven Declaration of Independence was, bar none, my favourite in the game.

I will NEVER look at Solas the same way again!
ROFLMFAO
And thank GOD I'm not the only one that thought this about Viv. Been saying this since the minute I saw her.

Or the goddess Morrigan from Irish mythology.

I heard Solas looks more like a bald Benadict Cumberbatch
Isn't that that douche from Sherlock? That's even worse.
shouldve voiced him imoI heard Solas looks more like a bald Benadict Cumberbatch

Well there are quite a lot of parallels between those two since they're both wise smartasses. 
shouldve voiced him imo
Have the guy, who voiced Smaug? Yeah, I'll agree.
