Pink

Pink honored one of Disney's best villains, joining her family in Cruella de Vil–themed costumes. The singer's daughter, Willow Sage, captured the dalmatian-crazy fashionista to a T, down to her iconic her black-and-white wig and newspaper gown. Pink channeled the evil baroness (martini glass in hand, of course), her husband sported a gothic-inspired tuxedo, and her 4-year-old son, Jameson Moon, showed off his dalmatian best.
