Alexis Stone transforms into Glenn Close's Cruella de Vil for the Balenciaga show | Vogue France

How far will Alexis Stone go? Having recently morphed into Jean Paul Gaultier, the master of metamorphoses chose to bring back our childhood memories in the guise of Cruella de Vil, the magnificent and iconic Disney anti-heroine. For this nostalgic transformation, Vogue France followed three months of work, from alterations made to the original wig worn by Glenn Close in "101 Dalmatians" in London, to the fittings and final alterations made to the Balenciaga look specially designed by Demna in Paris, in the run-up to the show. With that Dalmatian print and cigarette holder, it's impossible to tell... Is that Alexis Stone or Cruella de Vil? Under the (faux) fur coat, the resemblance is uncanny.

I just love how Balenciaga and Alexis made that homage to original costume designers. It's completely true to the cartoon and the film, but at the same time it's totally Balenciaga.

[@I-call-it-the-poop-loop]

Balenciaga is trash lol

[@dianaberlin4767]

F Balenciaga

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

But instead of hunting Dalmatians, they were hunting children...

This takes Drag to another level. I'm so impressed and delighted with the result. Thanks for sharing!!

[@VogueFrance]

Our pleasure!

@@calebbourassa652 Huh? "cross-dressing" and "costumes" are EXACTLY what drag is!

[@calebbourassa652]

@@lptf5441 yea but drag is supposed to exaggerated

[@Levi-Asher15]

⁠@@calebbourassa652yes Drag is supposed to be exaggerated but there’s more styles of drag than just exaggerated

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

@@calebbourassa652its exaggerated 😂😂😂 dude put on a fake face, over the top costume and the iconic duo colored wig n makeup not to mention face hips n booty ... Yeah that's the definition of drag 😂😂😂 cause drag is for entertainment and we are def entertained so u don't know what drag is

[@blockcolormister]

Alexis Stone is next level artistry. Cmon ! Amazing

[@charliemoller]

imagine being Glenn Close an seeing yourself walking down the streets of paris

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Fantastic in every way. I feel not enough people IRL appreciated or even came close to comprehending what exactly they were being confronted by...the amount of technical skill, work, creative authenticity and attention to detail. You really need to circulate and pose when you've created a look this extraordinary.

[@jesusmzerpa29]

he was the first makeup artist I saw in the internet a few years ago and now he's a legend.

[@benbewust]

It’s amazing to do this and pay hommage. Thank you and to Neil Gordon and Alexis. I just want to say to Vogue after waiting impatiently to see Alexis at the entrance the lighting wasn’t to my satisfaction. It’s so unfair to see a masterpiece disappear in the sunset which in this case isn’t the best. What time was this filmed? Is there more footage? Love Glenn Close too 💜

[@cyberqueen777]

Enjoying that cigarette after getting out of the limo! What an incredible transformation and such dedication to Cruella de Vil, my favorite Disney character. Amazing! Well done Alexis Stone.

[@passingthrough5102]

absolutely beautiful

[@FireSunBloodyMoon]

Glenn Close is the best Cruella of all time! The image she created is truly canonical. She is an actress from God! She is unique

[@yonathanangelsalazartamez5479]

I think this is the most beautiful tribute to glenn, thank you for your deddication to keep every single detail in touch. This is beautiful

[@cuzimnotlaughing]

Wait, that was not Glenn Close?!! I honestly thought it was her from the intro. Amazing female impersonation he did right there!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

I know when I see a video with Alexis Stone it will be nothing but pure art!

[@snooterpoops]

Magnificent, flawless, brilliant!!

[@juliawidmaier5334]

What an amazing process, truly the art of transformation! Those original Cruella sketches are incredible. So glad that this could come together to create this spectacular homage.

[@thedarthflagger]

Its gorgeous but i think the scale of the wig against the whole couture piece is slightly too small.

[@Disney65Fan]

Been following Elliot for years. His such a brilliant sfx makeup artist.

[@deebzeal8204]

I have to admit that is pretty damn good. I almost thought he was the real Glenn Close! lol

why would not have a career?

[@ChillwithLaurenZen]

@@passingthrough5102 He was nasty to other creators and made a bad name for himself online. Not many people have nice words to say about him. Since then he's become irrelevant, he gets barely any views. He relies on controversy to get his name out there and no one cares.

As nasty is Alexis is on social media to other people at times, you have to separate that out from the artistry here which is master level. I can respect that part.
