From Her Debut Draped Dress To The Newspaper Dress: The 3 Best Outfits – CRUELLA and Her Style In The New 2021 Movie


10 June 2021

In the 1996 movie, Cruella, played by Glenn Close, owns her own fashion house. In the new prequel, Cruella, aka Estella, is just beginning to build the design career she has dreamed of since childhood. As it turns out, it was the fashion world that awakened cruelty in the character and turned Estella into Cruella. The fashion industry in the film demonized no weaker than in "The Devil Wears Prada". In one scene, the Baroness, Cruella's employer, directly tells her that you have the talent, but you need a killer instinct in fashion - and this is not a metaphor. 

And if you love fashion, you should definitely watch how designers created the outfits and how they look on Emma Stone. Maybe this story won't just get you engaged for a couple of hours but will inspire you to create your own stuff, e.g. a bright and funny game for the Bitcoin casino online or a unique dress for your party. Here are the 3 best outfits of the movie.    

 

 

Cruella's Dress for Her Debut

Estella makes her first appearance in her new guise at the Baroness' black and white ball. Uninvited, in a white silk cloak, extravagantly alight. A red dress that violates the dress code of the ball and defies the Baroness is underneath it. 

Designer Jenny Beavan focused on a draped dress by 1950s designer Charles James. It was replicated especially for Emma Stone from thin strips of fabric. But in the story, it's a dress from the Baroness' old collection that Estella found in a vintage shop and re-stitched to her own taste. 

 

 

Cruella's Punk

London, 1970s. This is when Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren open a store on King's Road that will start the British punk movement. When McLaren assembles the Sex Pistols, it is Westwood who will be responsible for the appearance of the musicians. To signify Cruella's connection to 1970s punk, the film uses the Sex Pistols script from the cover of the band's only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. Similar spelling in the film accompanies the newspaper headlines about Cruella's antics. 

Cruella's image with the military jacket and oversized skirt is also Westwoodian. The jacket was found by costume designers at a vintage store in Los Angeles, and the skirt, which was supposed to be like a curtain to cover the car, was embroidered by an army of students, interns and masters. Another similarity between Cruella and Westwood is that they are both self-taught designers. To hone her technique, Vivienne copied historical costumes and silhouettes. Eventually, historicisms became an integral part of Vivienne Westwood.

 

 

Newspaper Dress

The theme of revenge dress develops over the movie. In one scene, a garbage truck arrives at a Baroness event and unloads Cruella along with a pile of garbage - items from her opponent's recent collection. Cruella's top is made of newspapers and, coupled with the cut, immediately evokes associations with Galliano-era Dior. And the "garbage" turns out to be the train of the dress, spectacularly fluttering after the garbage truck.
