A ten-year-old girl who was excluded from school over her Cruella de Vil hair has met the artist who inspired the style-change.
Evie Smith split-dyed half of her mousy brown hair blonde to match her idol Melanie Martinez ahead of her concert in Manchester.
Martinez, an American singer-songwriter, is famous for her blonde and black hairstyle - which was inspired by Cruella de Vil from the hit film 101 Dalmations.
However when Evie started a new term this September, she was excluded by teachers who say she needs to dye it back before she can return.
