The model reclaimed her love for 101 Dalmatians. Dressed as Cruella de Vil, she explained on Instagram: “Growing up I got teased a lot for my skin. I got called everything you already know.. and Dalmatian. That really got to me when I was little. So much so that I realized I had a bit of disdain for the film as a child… I realized how much I missed out with 101 Dalmatians as a child based on the words of bullies. I pray no child misses out because of the words of others! You’re perfect just the way you are. This and so many others are dream roles to me to act and it was a pleasure grasping the iconic Glenn Close.”
