Halloween is one of the only times of year when it's socially acceptable to spend a full 24 hours cosplaying as a film or TV villain — and we can't think of a more perfect villain to take fancy dress inspiration from than the infamous Cruella de Vil. With Disney's release of the live-action film starring Emma Stone dropping earlier this year, we're anticipating seeing tons of remakes of some of the chicest looks from the movie as Halloween inches closer.
Cruella is famously known for wearing blocked black-and-white hair — the colour even became a huge trend this past summer — and a bright-red lip colour, though if you want to go outside the costume box, you could also snag a copper-coloured wig and spend Halloween dressed as Estella, the fashion-obsessed young woman Cruella was before she became a villain. Whatever you choose to do, we're here to help you weigh your options.
Read ahead to check out a few Cruella-inspired hair and makeup ideas for Halloween.
Estella's Copper Red Hair Colour
To channel a younger Cruella before she embraced her wild side, you'll need a wig in a deep red hair colour (£29) accompanied by makeup that stays more on the natural side. For a little more commitment, you can also opt to dye your hair a copper colour (£6).
Cruella's Smoky Eye Makeup and Black & White Hair Colour
No Cruella look is complete without a block-coloured black and white wig (£28). You can find one for cheap just about anywhere, and it pairs nicely with a sultry eye makeup look that can be achieved using the Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette (£12).
Cruella's Black Face Paint and Shimmery Red Lip
Mimic this look by using black face and body paint (£5) alongside a shimmering red lip colour (£16).
Cruella's Bright Red Lipstick and Lace Mask
For this look, choose a bright red lip colour with optimal staying power like the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick (£17) and a black lace mask (£5).
