Taylor Momsen Rewears Her Exact Cindy Lou Who 'Grinch' Costume 25 Years Later: 'It Still Kind Of Fits'
Taylor Momsen has revisited her childhood role by slipping back into the iconic Cindy Lou Who costume from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The outfit, worn over two decades ago, still fits the former child star. She recently shared photos of herself in the costume, adding a modern twist to the classic look.
Momsen first wore the costume in 2000 while filming The Grinch alongside Jim Carrey. She later recalled the experience fondly, describing Carrey as kind and professional. The film also marked her first time wearing a wig, fake lashes, and faux teeth for a role.
In her recent Instagram post, she styled the costume differently—unbuttoned and off-the-shoulder. She paired it with a red cape, a fuzzy white collar, and black combat boots. To add volume, she wore it over a tulle skirt but struggled with the puffy sleeves, even considering altering the seam for a better fit. This year, Momsen revisited another part of her *Grinch* legacy. Her band, The Pretty Reckless, released a new version of Cindy Lou Who’s song *Where Are You Christmas?*.
The costume and song revival highlight Momsen’s lasting connection to the beloved holiday film. Her updated styling of the outfit reflects both nostalgia and personal flair. Fans can now hear her fresh take on the classic Christmas track.
