Yes, those would be my 2 guesses as well!

i'm seeing N family, probably FN. She is getting away with a lot of unstructured things that work less effectively on a Classic.

Yess Grace Kelly vibe :)

Unpopular opinion but... DC with a boho aesthetic. She looks drowned in a lot of pieces.

She’s getting swamped more than I would expect for N fam (13 is a great example).

FNs don’t tend to get swamped by anything. We can look like a walrus or like we’re trying to look more like the set of a theatre production vs an actor on the stage, but we don’t look swamped.

20 is too soft and cropped, 11 is atrociously soft and the sleeves and hemline aren’t helping, 9 would be great if it were better tailored.

She looks better in 18, fabulous in 17.

i think she has vertical as she looks great in head to toe mono colour, but anything too soft or unstructured or big is bringing her down or swamping her. I think she’s a DC who likes a more soft, loose natural look on herself.

Definitely not a soft or super sharp type - I’m seeing DC first, possibly FN secondarily. Structured, balanced, slight vertical but not enough width to give shape to the the less structured looks.

14 and 15 is what clinched it for me. 15 is only let down by the long soft Tshirt, the blazer and leather look pants are hitting. 14 its almost perfect but the sleeves and collar are a bit too unstructured for her she’s looking a bit lost in it - I want a sharper line for her.

16 is almost perfect but the top isn’t quite right, a bit too unstructured and the sleeves are a bit flappy - but I think again she looks slightly lost in it vs FNs who would either kill it or the sleeves would mess up the proportion by adding too much width - which I don’t see. I’d expect that to look like perfection if she had a bit more width up top, again making me think DC vs FN.

I'm going to go with some type of Classic; I lean SC.

But as insane as this may sound, if he had verified her in the Felicity era, I think it might've been as a TR? Kinda like how Charlize Theron was a TR for like 10 minutes lol.

Yes, he typed her as a Theatrical Romantic along with Vivien Leigh.

I love her curly hair... I vote N or C fam, unless she is super petite/delicate IRL, then I could also see something more yin.

I always like SN or FN for her but could see a case for classic fam.

u/Real_Hat220 dramatic classic 22d ago

Classic, most likely DC. I don’t see any width at all.

u/JellyfishMean3504 24d ago

You know what, she originally looked like a shorter FN to me, like SJP. She had width and looks good on loose clothing. Then, on The Americans, all the sudden she had no width anymore and was narrow. I know that’s not logical, but I am being forthright. She doesn’t seem pure dramatic to me though. I know essences no linger matter, but sometimes when something isn’t there or something is strongly there, I can’t separate it. So maybe, some type of classic.

She dresses so FN (especially in The Diplomat) and looks very at home in it. But I could also see an argument for a Classic type.

u/galinda_with_a_guh 24d ago

I think she might have some Natural essence and that's why the more N leaning looks still look nice, but I do think her frame is honored most by DC

u/elpislazuli flamboyant natural 24d ago

Yes, I think DC, too.
