Long before her penchant for Dalmatian puppies and fur coats, Cruella went by Estella. A poor, orphaned girl who often ran into trouble with her friends, Horace and Jasper, Estella has dreams of making it big in the world of fashion with her bold designs.
Set to the backdrop of 70s London where the punk era was in full flow, it’s not long before doors start to open as Estella meets Baroness Von Hellman (Emma Thompson) and she begins to move amongst the crowd of the rich and famous.
A manic and twisty tale, Cruella tells the story of how power and influence put into the wrong hands can quickly transpire to create a monster.
