Cruella costume designer Nadia Stacey explains the inspiration behind Emma Stone's punk look in the villain's origin story. 'I looked at every reference and tried to kind of borrow things from everywhere to pull it together, which also felt very punk.'
The Oscar-nominated hair and makeup designer for Cruella, Nadia Stacey, explains the influences that the punk scene in 1970s London played in Emma Stone's looks. Cruella follows the younger version Estella, and how she eventually transforms into Cruella de Vil, the fabled character from Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. Estella is a bright child with a passion for fashion and a temptation toward mischief.
It’s an origin story, so in the other versions, you’ve never met Estella before. So I started with Estella, to think about who she was. I thought of this young girl living in London, 1977. What’s going on socially, what music she listening to? What books is she reading? You know, that kind of thing. I always put myself in the mind of the character, and I felt that she would have quite a basic, minimal one lipstick, one eyeliner kind of girl with a bit of mascara.
