Well, well, well. Worry not. Maleficent exploded into ashes and was reformed as a banshee-zombie in 2x20 "Evil Queen" where off-screen she was subdued by Hook, Greg, and Tamara. A spell was cast to sustain Maleficent in whatever form she takes. Maleficent won't die because of the spell, and can't apparently die in another form. Note, how the crows formed her in the midseason finale, similarly her ashes formed her zombie form. Here's a link to a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA3htTttWbc

The outfit was changed mostly due to the movie whether they say it or not. They claim it's because she doesn't look like Maleficent enough, now which one I don't know. I guess the black outfit is her work one and the other is her leisure, relaxing outfit. The horns are likely fake or just her hair.
