Taylor Momsen Revisits Cindy Lou Who, Rewearing Original Costume 25 Years Later

The fitting doubles as promotion for her re-recorded 'Where Are You Christmas?' on a new holiday EP.

Overview

  • Momsen posted a Dec. 22 Instagram video trying on her original Cindy Lou Who dress for a new photo shoot.
  • Stylist Lindsey Hartman helped refit the child-size costume, which she ultimately wore off the shoulders as a strapless look after the sleeves wouldn’t clear her arms.
  • She captioned the clip “25 years later…it still (kind of) fits” as team members joked her arms were “too jacked” for the tiny sleeves.
  • The shoot promotes her Oct. 31 release Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas, featuring a re-recording of “Where Are You Christmas?” that she first sang in the 2000 film.
  • The throwback follows a Nov. 8 reunion with co-star Jim Carrey at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and her recent reflections on being labeled “Grinch girl” in school before embracing the role’s legacy.
