The only time we see Nellie with a more polished look is later on in the film when the studio takes control of her appearance. "She does end up getting her hair cut into more of a bob shape, and we see it in a full finger-wave style, but it's just for one moment, and then she's back to her messy, crazy texture," McIntosh says. The contrast between Nellie's look before and after the studio takes over is drastic but brief — then she's right back to her slightly disheveled self.
There is one scene that's riddled with classic '20s glam: the party hosted by Colleen (Samara Weaving) and Marion (Chloe Fineman). "I was surprised that I was able to get a full-on '20s hairstyle on [Colleen]," McIntosh says. An exception was made to depict Colleen as the uptight character opposite of Nellie.
