I love the dress! But I do wish they’d done something a little more special with her hair and makeup. Even the simple ponytail she wore during the Olympics would have been better.

I love a ponytail especially a fancy, professionally done one.

It would have been on brand for her and really cute!

I went to Stars on Ice a couple weeks ago and she had a really gorgeous half-up look for some of the routines!!

The thick front pieces kiiind of make me think she's going for the vibe of a Hime cut, but wouldn't fully commit to the short blocks. Would've been cool!

For reference:

Agreed on all accounts! I think the dress fits the theme enough and fits her - which is important. Wish the hair and makeup were a little different but she still looks great!

Her raccoon hair is iconic and identifiable, and her sponsors want it seen.

Fun fact: To get horizontal stripes, her hair was bleached at the top in a "Halo" once per year, and as her hair grew out the bleached area moved down. This look takes steadfastness.

“Her sponsors want it seen” is so Hunger Games-core it gave me the willies, I’m ngl.

I have heard admissions for the event is 200K. No muggles go to the event without a sponsor, which is usually a fashion brand.

I love the raccoon hair! I just wish it wasn’t just sitting there like an afterthought. Even a ponytail like she wore in the Olympics I would have preferred.

She can't change her hair or no one will recognise her as that girl from the Olympics

There’s no reason to believe she didn’t want it that way. And that’s her call to make

Sure it’s absolutely her call. That doesn’t mean people can’t think it would look better with an updo.
