I have a question for you all. What do you think Grizabella looked like when she was younger?
Was she always grey, or do you think she became grizzled with age?
In the London production she wears a long tattered grey coat, a frazzled grey wig and grey tabby tights, but underneath that coat is a black sequin cocktail dress, and a black feather boa that wraps around her neck and also serves as her tail.
I think it's safe to assume she was a long-haired diva. But what colour? Black or grey? Or something else?

I think she's a long haired tabby and she just got greyer with age. I think in the production, the cocktail dress was used to represent a faded star who can't let go of the past, since Grizabella sort of has that persona.
A star who was extremely famous, then just faded with time and can't let go.

I prefer to think of her with the gray and black colors. Only because when I see regular cats, they don't 'loose' their fur color ya know? Here is a drawing I did in 2011 of Young Grizabella.

Well I know cats don't go as grey as other animals do (They seem to in the musical though :/), but you get some interesting theories of how she used to look. That's why I started this thread. I know one fanfic wrote her as a bright red like Bombalurina (foreshadowing and whatnot) And I understand the symbolism behind her costume, she's The Glamour Cat. It's in the name! XD
