ABOUT CRUELLA DE VIL:
Cruella De Vil is the primary antagonist of Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel “The Hundred and One Dalmatians”, and later Disney’s animated film adaptation (1961).
She is a wealthy and fashionable aristocrat with a cruel and sadistic personality. Most recognizable for her black-and-white hairstyle, Cruella makes it her life mission to make the perfect coat, crafted from the fur of Dalmatian puppies.
1. SCARF – Just because Cruella didn’t manage to make her dream coat, doesn’t mean you can’t have yours. Disclaimer: No Dalmatians were harmed during the making of this shawl.
2. BODYSUIT – What you wear under your coat is entirely up to you. We went for a sexy black bodysuit similar to the skintight dress worn by Cruella.
3. BELT – Optionally, add a red elastic belt to match your gloves and boots.
4. STOCKINGS – Elevate your sexy Cruella costume to the next level with a pair of provocative fishnet stockings.
5. FOOTWEAR – Stilettos are also a perfectly acceptable option for this outfit but we are huge fans of these boots. Nothing says femme fatale quite like a pair of red over-the-knee boots.
6. GLOVES – Next, add a pair of red satin opera gloves. You are a woman of means, after all.
7. WIG – One of the most recognizable aspects of a Cruella De Vil costume is her distinctive black and white hair. While not great for the office, this hairstyle screams Disney villain.
8. NECKLACE – Can’t afford a real pearl necklace? Neither can we! That’s why we opted for a faux pearl choker instead. Stay classy, ladies.
9. CIGARETTE HOLDER – The epitome of style and class, finish your sexy Cruella costume with a bone and ivory (imitation) long cigarette holder.

Yes. A black dress or bodysuit with a black-and-white spotted scarf gives a lighter version of her look. This guide uses the scarf in place of a bulky coat. Add red gloves and split-color hair to keep the costume unmistakably Cruella.
A half-black, half-white wig creates the look immediately without changing your own hair. Choose a style you can wear comfortably for the evening, whether that is a short bob or loose curls. The strong split between the two colors matters more than the exact length.
Dalmatian-print clothing makes a simple partner outfit, and several friends can dress as the puppies. For a villains group, add the Queen of Hearts and Maleficent. Cruella’s monochrome hair helps her stand apart from the other characters.
Red opera gloves are the clearest choice for the classic animated Cruella-inspired look used here. They add a bright accent to the black outfit and spotted scarf. If you already own black gloves, a red belt or red shoes can provide that color instead.
A plain black dress is an excellent base and can replace the bodysuit shown in this guide. Add the spotted scarf, split-color wig and red gloves. Faux pearls dress it up further, but the outfit does not depend on expensive jewelry or designer clothing.
No. It is an optional visual reference rather than an essential accessory. If you choose one, an empty costume holder works for photos without a cigarette. You can also carry a small black clutch and keep your hands free of extra props.
