After a lot of anticipation and several delays, Disney’s Cruella finally hit theaters with a bang. The iconic 101 Dalmatians villain lived up to its reputation as one of Disney’s most fashionable characters in the new origin story, and she’ll completely change the way we approach fashion and beauty this summer.

“Cruella” Hair

The half black-half platinum blonde hairstyle is one of Cruella’s signature traits, and Emma Stone made us fall for it all over again in the new movie. We’re seeing similar hairstyles pop all over Instagram and TikTok right now, but it’s also pretty common to put a twist on it by dying the bottom of your hair blonde while leaving the top black.

“Cruella” Makeup

Cruella’s makeup looks are almost just as iconic as her hair, and it’s easier than ever to recreate them. Disney joined forces with MAC Cosmetics for a brand-new collection inspired by the chic villain, which allows you to easily channel your inner Cruella de Vil.

“Cruella” Fashion

Many of Cruella’s signature looks are too extravagant to be worn in real life, but that’s not stopping her from being a fashion icon. Her punk-rock-inspired style can be used as fashion inspiration, and we’re expecting it will put Dalmatian print, leather, and steampunk accessories on the map.
