Set in 1970s London, Cruella traces Estella’s transformation from a clever, persecuted young designer into the fearless, rebellious Cruella de Vil. Through daring fashion heists, flamboyant parties, and a fierce rivalry with a formidable Baroness, she crafts a signature style that defies rules. Blending punk energy with sharp wit, the origin tale explores identity, ambition, and how a creator’s vision can become a legendary, villainous force in a dazzling couture world.
