Taylor Momsen still fits into her Cindy Lou Who costume from How the Grinch Stole Christmas 25 years later.
On Sunday, December 21, the actress and singer shared a video on Instagram of her trying on and doing a photo shoot in the original costume from the hit 2000 movie, starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Momsen was only eight years old when he played the lovable Whovian who befriended the Grinch.
Momsen, now 32, shared behind-the-scenes clips of herself carefully putting on the plaid dress with the help of an assistant. She layered the look over a tulle skirt for volume and slowly slipped her arms into the puffed sleeves.
“I’m a little high,” she joked as she struggled to get comfortable. When her assistant suggested that a seamstress open the sleeve and restore it later, Momsen replied, “Possibly.”
Once fully glammed up, Momsen completed the look with a red cape trimmed with white fur and black combat boots, giving the nostalgic outfit a modern twist.
“Yes…that’s my real Cindy costume from the Grinch movie,” she wrote in the caption. “25 years later…it still (sort of) fits…what a surreal Christmas season #whereareyouchristmas.”
The moment came shortly after Momsen also musically revisited Cindy Lou Who, releasing a new (rock) version of Where are you Christmas? with his band, The Pretty Reckless.
