Glenn Close Kept All of ‘101 Dalmatians’ Costumes From Contractual Agreement
Have you ever wondered what happened with the luxurious wardrobe that Glenn Close donned while portraying Cruella de Vil in the live-action 101 Dalmatians, and 102 Dalmatians?
Wonder no more, as she revealed to Vanity in an interview with Pete Davidson that all of them are still hanging in her closet, out of contractual agreement!

“I got in my contract that I got to keep all my costumes that I wore in the movie,” she told Davidson after he revealed he was a huge fan of the two movies and watched them a lot while growing up.
Disney was reportedly unhappy when finding out how much the costumes after signing the agreement, and even wanted to make Close another set for her to take home, to which she declined.

All of the costumes for the stylish de Vil were created by Oscar-winning designer Anthony Powell and Rosemary Burrows, whom both took on the very important role of bringing her wardrobe to life. That is no small feat for a woman as bound to fashion as Cruella.
But if you remember Bette Midler’s virtual Halloween fundraiser just last October, Close reprised her role of the puppy-hating de Vil while wearing a coat from a different film of hers, The Wife.

While there’s been no reason as to why she didn’t don one of the costumes from the 1996 adaptation told, we’re sure they’re hanging up safely in her closet.
