Thank you Cpt. Obvious.

yeah, this.

Funny thing, she was really cute when she was on SNL (Early 80s--the Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo years), then rather homely in early Seinfeld, then hot by the end of Seinfeld, and maintained through the 1 or 2 episodes of Curb your Enthusiasm and her current show.

I agree that it must have something to do with changing wardrobe staff, or whatever. Plus, she started endorsing that hair stuff, whatever it was, around the same time she turned it up several notches during Seinfeld.

She just finally figures out what to do with her gorgeous hair.

Elaine: "You're black. You said we were an interracial couple."
Darryl: "We are. Because you're Hispanic."
Elaine: "I am?"
Darryl: "Aren't you?"
Elaine: "No. Why would you think that?"
Darryl: "Your name's Benes, your hair, and you kept taking me to those
Spanish restaurants."
Elaine: "That's because I thought you were black."
Darryl: "Why would you take me to a Spanish restaurant because I'm black?"
Elaine: "I don't think we should be talking about this."
Darryl: "So, what are you?"
Elaine: "I'm white."
Darryl: "So, we're just a couple of white people?"
Elaine: "I guess."
Darryl: "Oh."
Elaine: "Yeah. So do you want to go to the Gap?"

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.

She might have substantial control over her wardrobe and hair, especially after the show got really big and she had a lot of star power.

Except for Kramer's outfits and the occasional exception (like that bullfighting shirt that Jerry wore) their clothes were very mundane so I wouldn't be surprised if they were allowed to choose what to wear within limits.

I thought she was hot when she was on SNL as a cast memeber back in the 80s

They sure did wear a lot of white socks.
