The esteemed actress, who will be remotely attending Bette Midler’s annual Hulaween charity event, has recreated her look from the live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians (1996) at home.
Suiting up for BETTE MIDLER’S virtual HOCUS HALLOWEEN fundraiser for her remarkable NEW YORK RESTORATION PROJECT. I’ll be sure to post an invitation when I can. These pictures and video were shot by Seonaid “Sho” Campbell.
HOMEMADE CRUELLA: Chopstick painted red = cigarette holder. Wig—online Red gloves with black nails = black gloves with nails under red gloves with cut off tips Leopard scarf=silk long Johns Dalmatian puppy ears= local Halloween store Coat = wardrobe from my movie The Wife Makeup: Didn’t have a really pale base so I tried baby powder. Looks weird on the side of my face. Not a rousing success. Also needed a liquid eyeliner…next time.
Close also shared a second post, featuring additional photos of her Cruella costume — these pictures showcase a red straw as a stand-in for the Disney Villain’s iconic cigarette holder.
This year’s Hulaween charity gala is especially exciting for Disney fans! Midler has reunited with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy (yes, the original Sanderson Sisters!) for a Hocus Pocus themed virtual affair.
The official website describes this year’s Hulaween event as:
