I was watching from pilot... she looked very tacky (even for then-fashion) with her big hair clump on the front & terrible wardrobe.

But then she starts to gradually get hotter and hotter. I'm on Season 8 now and she is just SMOKING with mini skirt, blazer coat and wet-wavy hair.

Ya. She dressed like a damned hobo to begin with. The best Elaine moment was the cleavage episode.

That said, some people age much better than others. Some people never reach that "apex" in their looks therefore never start looking like shit as they get older..

Yeah, every time they show one of the early episodes I am reminded of how homely she looked. So much hotter in the late episodes. Hair and clothes make such a difference.

I really think she gained confidence through the show and started to dress sexier and look better.

Not that I disagree with you, however, comparing a clip from an early episode and a glamor shot which had who knows how much retouching done to it, probably isn't the best comparison.

Second broken image is a TV still and tells the story very well. It's blocked by hotlinking. Go to it directly.

I concur with your observations...she got a lot hotter over the course of the show...and she is pretty hot today for her age.

Money usually makes people "hotter"

her father is a billionaire and her step father was dean of the george washington university medical school. she's never been far from money.

Isn't that what the costume designer does? Does she even have a say over how she's dressed?

This is what I was going to say. Could be they switched costume designers, or maybe Dreyfus asked to change things up. Who knows.

Another interesting topic is how in inglorious basterds, the Jewish chick's actress had the same name as Dreyfus. I was looking for Elaine the entire movie.
