To dress like Elvira Hancock, you will need a Deep V-neck dress and a Short Light Blonde Wig to nail the iconic look. Then, accessorize with closed-toe classic pumps, crystal dangle drop earrings, a plated sterling silver ring, a crystal bracelet, and an evening handbag.

About Elvira Hancock From Scarface
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Elvira left her hometown and journeyed to Miami in pursuit of her biological father. She found employment as a waitress at the Babylon Club, where she crossed paths with drug lord Frank Lopez. Following their meeting, Frank extended an offer for her to work as a secretary for Lopez Motors. There, Elvira Hancock and Frank fell in love, eventually marrying.
However, their union faced challenges when Elvira developed a severe cocaine addiction. Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee working for Frank, developed feelings for Elvira. As Tony gained influence in the drug world, he pledged a better life for Elvira than Frank could provide. After Tony eliminated Frank, they married.
Their relationship deteriorated as Tony’s obsession with wealth and power grew, and Elvira became increasingly detached due to her drug addiction. The tension escalated to the point where Tony attempted to assault Elvira. Having had enough, Elvira delivered a final insult to Tony before leaving him for good.
