Cruella de Vil’s priorities may be are questionable, but her wardrobe is flawless. We’d go so far as to say that the One Hundred and One Dalmatians icon makes one of the biggest entrances in Disney history.
She’s one of the Disney villains we know we shouldn’t root for, and yet plenty of us secretly (or not so secretly) do.
If you’re one of them, these eight things might sound familiar.
You Have a Signature Look
You know what works for you and you stick to it. Whether it’s a favorite color palette, a go-to accessory or a hairstyle people recognize from a mile away, your look is unmistakably yours.
Cruella’s the same way. Her two-tone black-and-white hair, red gloves and dramatic coat make her one of Disney’s most recognizable villains. Like her, you know that a strong signature style leaves a lasting impression.

You Love a Statement Coat (Faux, of Course)
There’s nothing quite like an oversized coat to makes you feel confident and unstoppable. You’ll gladly put in the effort to find the perfect one, and the right outerwear can pull an entire outfit together.
Cruella’s love of fur is the heart of her villainy, and we definitely don’t share her methods, but you can understand the appeal of a show-stopping piece.

Your Moods Are Always Out in the Open
You’re not one to hide how you feel. When you’re delighted, everyone knows it, and when you’re livid, there’s no mistaking it. You’d rather be honest than keep it all inside.
Cruella de Vil can also go from sweet to furious in an instant, with every feeling on full display. You may be a bit more measured, but you value being real over pretending.

You Know What You Want and Fight for It
Once you set your sights on something, you don’t let it go easily. You’re persistent, and a “no” is usually just the start of the conversation.
Cruella shows up again and again to get what she wants, never taking a hint. Sure, her goals, are downright evil, but we can appreciate the determination.

Everyone Has an Opinion About You
Chances are that you’re a divisive person and that you’ve been the topic of conversation more than once. People have strong feelings about you, whether they admire your confidence or find you intimidating.
Cruella, too, is so unforgettable that Roger writes a song about her, and it’s been stuck in everyone’s head ever since. You may not have a theme song, but you do have a reputation.
Your Best Friend Is Your Complete Opposite
Your closest friend is likely the sweet, easygoing type who balances out your intensity. You don’t always agree, but somehow the friendship works.
Cruella and Anita were old schoolmates, and Anita is kind and warm where Cruella is demanding and dramatic. Even if it’s not always smooth, opposites tend to bring out the best in each other.

You Have a Big Personality and a Bigger Laugh
You’ve always been able to command a room without trying. Your laugh carries, your stories are animated and you’ve never been concerned about toning it down for anyone.
Cruella’s loud, cackling laugh is as iconic as her look, and she never worries about who hears it. Like her, you know that being a little much is part of your charm.
You’re Impossible to Ignore
You’d rather be unforgettable than easy to overlook. You own your style, your opinions and your personality, and you don’t apologize for any of it.
Cruella remains one of Disney’s most iconic villains because she’s completely herself, darling. She may not be a role model, but she’s never boring, and neither are you.
