Whether it's the iconic Cruella herself or the chic Baroness, both are all decked out from head to toe throughout the movie, flaunting stunning, unique looks that are a feast for the eyes.

From traditional batik to modern patterns, Malaysia is home to some pretty gorgeous fashion too. So, what would it be like if Cruella were to dress in Malaysian-inspired outfits?

"When I received the offer to collaborate with Disney+ Hotstar for its long-awaited live action feature film about one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, — Cruella, it's a quick YES from me. IMO, it's the best fashion film of 2021," said Fikri in the caption of his Instagram post.

In total, he designed six looks, three each for Cruella and the Baroness respectively. Each one draws inspiration from a different Malaysian fashion element, such as songket, cheongsam, saree, and more.

For an extra special touch, he even applied some makeup from The Disney Cruella Collection By M·A·C. on his illustrations, hehe!

Set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, the movie chronicles the rebellious early days of the legendary Cruella de Vil. Follow a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs.

She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together, they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella's flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute.

But, their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent Cruella.
