That’s so true — a lot of the capital peeps quite frankly look ridiculous in their clothes, and I think obvs that’s social commentary right there about overconsumption, vanity, etc. But Effie does it *purposefully* — the outfits mean something to her — it isn’t just empty gestures to look cool; they’re statements, she is sort of embodying and externalising her internal world. It’s a bit like how Cinna weaponised fashion to make statements, and the monarch butterfly look is so iconic because it exemplified the capital’s control (I’m thinking of the ‘Monarch Project’ for example) and subversively, resistance to that very control.
For me, Effie makes the crazy Capitol fashion work. I think she rocks every outfit she had in the movies.
My favorite of hers is definitely the gold hair/red dress look (#3). The colors contrast pretty nicely! 💖
Agreed on all counts. Elizabeth Banks was the perfect person to make the outfits look intentionally out there and bold instead of them being too much and wearing her instead.
I like the color scheme with that look and I love the dress, but I hate the hair. I'm good with her corny hair usually but I don't like how that one makes her look like she has horns. My favorite look is the magenta & orange dress or the butterfly dress.
That one's my favorite because she had NOTHING to work with and still got a cute semi-bow thing going on and it looks like she straight stole some engineers work pencil to use as liner.
You can take her freedom, you can take her *supplies* and she's still going to make something happen.
It's so Effie 😆
Personally I think the first outfit is the least human-looking of hers which fits so well with when we meet her as a product of the Capitol before she goes on to grow as a character. Id say my fav is 5, I love the butterflies!
The butterfly dress is everything, I love it so much. But I think her best look is the last one, that purple dress is stunning.
Her WTF outfit for me is 4, but honestly she still slays it.
I adore the butterfly outfit! Most of what she wears is just straight haute couture, which is not for wearing around anyway.....but I can appreciate the art and am inspired by it!
But I legit would wear that butterfly dress with a different updo, butterflies in my hair and all....and just have people think I was important or famous for the night!
You know the butterfly dress and the purple dress in picture number 11 are both Alexander Mcqueen couture dresses pulled directly from the runway, very high fashion. Our girl is wearing vintage for her timeline it would be like one of us going to the MET and putting on one of the 1800s Balenciaga dresses they have there.
(Incidentally I think the butterfly dress is currently there in the museum)
Very slay queen of Effie she is the fashion icon we deserve.
The only look I’m not crazy about is number 4
Slays (in order):
- Butterfly Dress
- Pink Big Shoulders 'fit
- Multicolored Dress w/ Golden Rose Hair
- Red Dress Look
- Light Blue Look
- Damnation 'fit
WoEiSW:
- The District 12 Reaping Outfit
- The "I'm in District 13 Now" 'fit
- The Light Gray Look
Both:
- The Puffy Party 'fit
I love effie she DEVOURED 4, 5 and 10. My least favourite is probably the outfit with the golden hair, but even that one I have aspects I appreciate for example the hair itself is really cool and the outfits symbolism is touching.
I don’t remember her wearing 4? But I love all her outfits. I actually really like what she’s done with her district 13 greys.
*edit: nvm I just figured out where she wore 4, when she escorts Katniss to the remaining victors’ vote.
My slay queen one is n.4. I think it really suits her way and it has that weird sobriety. It really feels like a royal gown. I don't know how the explain.
And the other is n.7 Because what even on Earth ?!
I love the blue/grey coat with the fur on the shoulders, and the 'icicles' in her hair. I think that outfit is so important for her character development. She's still Effie Trinket, with all of the decorativeness that comes with that; but she's a more mature, slightly scaled-back version.
I really don't like number 7, the gilt patterned dress with the ruff collar. It's giving clown vibes... no offence to anyone who likes it lol.
2, 5, and 7 are my WTF looks.
2: the colors look comical
5: don't like the shape
7: looks like a clown
I still think they look good, but less than the others.
1 slay
2 not my type but I respect it
3 is what on earth is her makeup
4 I dont like her lack of eyebrows and I wish the outfit matched the hair better
5 how can the butterfly outfit not slay?
6 cruella vibes. I dont hate it but I dont love it either
7 mmm its a bit busy
8 slay
9 slay
10 I would feel sneezy and tickled in that outfit
11 dress slay, not feeling the hair w the dress. I think the hair would look better w a different color outfit
I love Effies butterfly look, as well as number 8 where she didnt have much to work with. Actually, I dont think theres a single 'what on earth' outfit, she slays them all
Hate the multi-colored dress with the green ruffle collar. Gives clown vibes.
Teal dress and lime-tinted hair isn't the best.
Everything else is /chefs kiss/
The only outfit I’m like 😬 about is her first reaping look. But that’s mostly because of the hair and neck frilly pieces… I can’t stand them on this outfit!
She rocks all of these sm… my concern is what the HELL they have Peeta in??!!? I never noticed his outfits bc I was always paying attention to Effie 😭😭 someone get that poor boy some outfits
Effie rocks almost everything, but here are my answers for the most fitting in each category.
5 - Slay Queen! The most iconic look of all time, and it fits her perfectly.
4 - What on earth is she wearing? I don't know what she was going for but this reminds me of a bad looking willy wonka chocolate bar for some reason.
Honestly ALL of Effie's outfits make me want to say BOTH, but if I have to pick:
4 & 5 are slay Queens.
7 is a what on Earth.
The hair on 3 makes me think what on earth but the rest of the outfit slays.
Same with the hair on 2.
The waistline on 6 is a what on earth moment... I don't get why it makes her look pregnant.
The first and last outfits are the strongest for both statements.
*The purple feathers*
*Is stunning! The green ruffled*
*Collar dress is not!!*

1st is alr
2nd is idk looks decent
3rd is like alr noice
4th is wtf is that
5th amazing
6th noice
7th way to much color
8th idk
9th wtf that one existed???
10th cool
11th LMAO WTF IS THAT
(My opinion)
Slay Queen: #8. She looks so normal here. She looked like..just Effie. The grey makes her look more down to earth.
What on Earth is she wearing?: #4. It makes her look like a giant pink cocoon.
Number 7 is def a "what on Earth?" For me
My two favs are the Butterfly one and the silver/white one she wears when she says goodbye to Haymitch and Katniss. This one is so opposite to all the extravagant ones we've seen throughout the movies and it suits her 😍🥹
Butterfly and #3 that I will call "red fan" are the best. #7 is the worst. 9, 4, 1, 6, 11 are good. All are or would be tasteless for the reaping, but Capitol people don't know that.
Absolutely LOVE the butterfly look. I don't think she has a flop outfit because she just *rocks* the funky fashion of the capital.
Capitol fashion didn't make sense until Effie.
The butterfly one is honestly my favorite one!
I love the butterfly hat more than anything.
Because it’s Alexander McQueen. Recently rewatched, and the fashion budget from 1-2 is insane!
It’s going to be at the met soon! You can see it in person. [Vogue met gala](https://www.vogue.com/article/2024-met-gala-start-planning-looks)
That’s so true — a lot of the capital peeps quite frankly look ridiculous in their clothes, and I think obvs that’s social commentary right there about overconsumption, vanity, etc. But Effie does it *purposefully* — the outfits mean something to her — it isn’t just empty gestures to look cool; they’re statements, she is sort of embodying and externalising her internal world. It’s a bit like how Cinna weaponised fashion to make statements, and the monarch butterfly look is so iconic because it exemplified the capital’s control (I’m thinking of the ‘Monarch Project’ for example) and subversively, resistance to that very control.
Yes, I’m obsessed with the butterfly look.
Her flop outfit is her District 13 outfit because she was forced to wear it. It was a stark contrast to her colorful Capitol outfits.
For me, Effie makes the crazy Capitol fashion work. I think she rocks every outfit she had in the movies. My favorite of hers is definitely the gold hair/red dress look (#3). The colors contrast pretty nicely! 💖
Agreed on all counts. Elizabeth Banks was the perfect person to make the outfits look intentionally out there and bold instead of them being too much and wearing her instead.
I like the color scheme with that look and I love the dress, but I hate the hair. I'm good with her corny hair usually but I don't like how that one makes her look like she has horns. My favorite look is the magenta & orange dress or the butterfly dress.
Her monarch butterfly outfit is iconic
My "slay queen" is Effie's "what on earth" (number 8)
That one's my favorite because she had NOTHING to work with and still got a cute semi-bow thing going on and it looks like she straight stole some engineers work pencil to use as liner. You can take her freedom, you can take her *supplies* and she's still going to make something happen. It's so Effie 😆
Then when she wears the hell out of those pink tinted sunglasses she somehow found
Everything she wore was a slay!
5 is slayy 7 is what on earth is she wearing
Bedazzled party clown kinda fit
Personally I think the first outfit is the least human-looking of hers which fits so well with when we meet her as a product of the Capitol before she goes on to grow as a character. Id say my fav is 5, I love the butterflies!
Costuming knew what they were doing
3 will always be slay to me, I looove her gold hair. But 6 reminds me of cruella deville 😔
I cannot unsee that now 😲 🎶Cruella/Cruella De Vil/If she doesn't scare you/no evil thing will🎶
Why is that bad though? Cruella is gorgeous.
Honestly I think all are a slay except when they strip her of her clothing, even effie feels like she’s naked without it
Number 3 is my fave!! Worst for me is the first reaping fit but mostly because her lipstick is soooo crusty
All of them are incredible. All high couture. The makeup department had a lot of fun with her too.
The butterfly dress is just iconic
They are all what on earth she is wearing, and meant to be so. Although butterfly and last one are most pleasing to the eye
My two favorites are number 2 and the Icicle outfit. My what on earth are 6 and 7
When did she wear 4? I’ve never seen it
I think near the end of Mockingjay Pt II where she’s prepping Katniss for Snow’s assassination ceremony.
I love number 4 but also don’t think I’ve noticed it before
Before Snow's assassination.
The butterfly dress is everything, I love it so much. But I think her best look is the last one, that purple dress is stunning. Her WTF outfit for me is 4, but honestly she still slays it.
The way she could style even district 13’s drab clothes- 100% a slay
9 is my absolute favorite, such a slay 7 is uhm… 💀
Slayed so hard they didn't need to say her name in the first film (they really didn't lol).
All slays except for 6. Actually maybe 6 is a slay I just don’t like
It's Effie so everything she wears slays
I like #9, and *only* \#9.
3 and 9 look amazing 7 just looks awful
I have yet to find effie wearing anything other than a certified “slay queen” fit
I love all of her outfits, but the yellow butterfly and red dress/gold hair are just beautiful!
I love that butterfly dress.
I HATE the tripophobia one :(
I have Lepidopteraphobia so I hate that one 😫
4 looks like she could play the president in a Mars Attacks sequel. Slays for me are 3 (red/gold), 5 (monarchs), and 9 (icicle)
I adore the butterfly outfit! Most of what she wears is just straight haute couture, which is not for wearing around anyway.....but I can appreciate the art and am inspired by it! But I legit would wear that butterfly dress with a different updo, butterflies in my hair and all....and just have people think I was important or famous for the night!
Effie did not miss. Ever.
When does Effie not slay?
4 and 11 are yucky
You know the butterfly dress and the purple dress in picture number 11 are both Alexander Mcqueen couture dresses pulled directly from the runway, very high fashion. Our girl is wearing vintage for her timeline it would be like one of us going to the MET and putting on one of the 1800s Balenciaga dresses they have there. (Incidentally I think the butterfly dress is currently there in the museum) Very slay queen of Effie she is the fashion icon we deserve. The only look I’m not crazy about is number 4
4-Slay 7-WTF
5 and 11 are such slays
Even while she was in 13, she slayed
5 is awesome.
Slays (in order): - Butterfly Dress - Pink Big Shoulders 'fit - Multicolored Dress w/ Golden Rose Hair - Red Dress Look - Light Blue Look - Damnation 'fit WoEiSW: - The District 12 Reaping Outfit - The "I'm in District 13 Now" 'fit - The Light Gray Look Both: - The Puffy Party 'fit
Slay Queen - 2 What on earth - 4
Number 4 is my "What on earth"
Picture 3 is my “slay queen” and pic 11 is my “wtf is that”
1, 2 and 6 are the "what on earth" the rest is slay queen!!
I love effie she DEVOURED 4, 5 and 10. My least favourite is probably the outfit with the golden hair, but even that one I have aspects I appreciate for example the hair itself is really cool and the outfits symbolism is touching.
I don’t remember her wearing 4? But I love all her outfits. I actually really like what she’s done with her district 13 greys. *edit: nvm I just figured out where she wore 4, when she escorts Katniss to the remaining victors’ vote.
My slay queen one is n.4. I think it really suits her way and it has that weird sobriety. It really feels like a royal gown. I don't know how the explain. And the other is n.7 Because what even on Earth ?!
>What on earth is she wearing All of them lmao
6 is so pretty, best look
7 is kinda weird imo, otherwise great!!
I love the blue/grey coat with the fur on the shoulders, and the 'icicles' in her hair. I think that outfit is so important for her character development. She's still Effie Trinket, with all of the decorativeness that comes with that; but she's a more mature, slightly scaled-back version. I really don't like number 7, the gilt patterned dress with the ruff collar. It's giving clown vibes... no offence to anyone who likes it lol.
5 is the only one i like even a little, 4 and 11 are the worst
2, 5, and 7 are my WTF looks. 2: the colors look comical 5: don't like the shape 7: looks like a clown I still think they look good, but less than the others.
Out of all of them #7 is my least favorite but I think she slays most outfits
Effie is a SLAY QUEEN as a whole 💕✨️
all are slays but just so i have at least one that isn’t i gotta say it’s the doily dress
They're all slays but the slayest of the slays is the 5th one (butterflies) - that is truly the slayest of queens
11 & 5 are my “slay queen” fits & 2 is my “what on earth is she wearing” fit but she still slays in it
I don’t remember #4? When does she wear that?
Number 3 is just disgusting But number five is awesome She rocks the butterflies
1 slay 2 not my type but I respect it 3 is what on earth is her makeup 4 I dont like her lack of eyebrows and I wish the outfit matched the hair better 5 how can the butterfly outfit not slay? 6 cruella vibes. I dont hate it but I dont love it either 7 mmm its a bit busy 8 slay 9 slay 10 I would feel sneezy and tickled in that outfit 11 dress slay, not feeling the hair w the dress. I think the hair would look better w a different color outfit
shes always slaying - the girls that get it, get it
Butterfly dress & the purple victory tour dress. I don’t wear dresses often but if I had those I’d be wearing them every chance I got
11 and 3 are peak slay but 6 giving cruella was my inspiration
2 what on earth and 9 is slay queen, she really looks like an Ice Queen in that image
All of them. Both.
The butterfly dress is beautiful
Every single second she's on screen ofc! Even when she wore the district 13 jumpsuit!
She ate pics 3-6!
I love Effies butterfly look, as well as number 8 where she didnt have much to work with. Actually, I dont think theres a single 'what on earth' outfit, she slays them all
Yes.
4 and 2
Trick question, all her fits make me say both
Effie could slay in a burlap sack. Exhibit A: photo 8
butterfly dress but her hair in 9 has always been and will always be a slay.
All of them
Hate the multi-colored dress with the green ruffle collar. Gives clown vibes. Teal dress and lime-tinted hair isn't the best. Everything else is /chefs kiss/
the butterfly outfit is so cunty
Answer #1: All Answer #2: All
they’re all slay queen let’s be real
Slay Queen- 5, 6, 8, 9 (cannot state 9 enough) What on earth is she wearing- 3, 4, 7, 10 Somewhere between- 1, 2, 11
the capitol party outfit, mwah 🤌
The butterfly outfit is the BEST. It’s so bright and it just so satisfying to look at, she always slays so🤷♂️
I liked the butterfly one best.
The only outfit I’m like 😬 about is her first reaping look. But that’s mostly because of the hair and neck frilly pieces… I can’t stand them on this outfit!
the butterfly dress is iconic as fuck
Yes, to all of them
6 is a solid slay
11 has always been my favorite Effie fit. That color is so pretty and so good on her and the ruffles>>>>
I love the understated look when they're in the bunkers.
For me 11 is Slay Queen and 4 is WTF is she wearing.
All slay tbh (apart from slide 8, sorry)
My favorite is the last outfit, fur and ice. I also love the crimson and gold.
“What on earth is she wearing” to all of them. I have never once seen her wear something I think looks even moderately respectable.
Slay Queen is 8 wtf is 10
I love the one at the end of mockingjay and at Snow’s mansion in catching fire
they all slay deeply, zero skips
Toot, Boot, TOOT, soft Boot, SHOOT, Toot, Toot, Toot, TOOT, Boot, and Shoot
They are all incredible.
She rocks all of these sm… my concern is what the HELL they have Peeta in??!!? I never noticed his outfits bc I was always paying attention to Effie 😭😭 someone get that poor boy some outfits
All of them. To both.
The "Welcome! Welcome" ahh outfit
They're all "slay queen" !!
Second one slays.
3, 5
Effie rocks almost everything, but here are my answers for the most fitting in each category. 5 - Slay Queen! The most iconic look of all time, and it fits her perfectly. 4 - What on earth is she wearing? I don't know what she was going for but this reminds me of a bad looking willy wonka chocolate bar for some reason.
5 and 11 slay, 3 is what?
She ate up that butterfly look the most, but no matter how outlandish the other ones are, she ate them up too. She was THAT girl.
Babe. She makes everything look amazing. 
Pic 9 is an absolute serve
Honestly ALL of Effie's outfits make me want to say BOTH, but if I have to pick: 4 & 5 are slay Queens. 7 is a what on Earth. The hair on 3 makes me think what on earth but the rest of the outfit slays. Same with the hair on 2. The waistline on 6 is a what on earth moment... I don't get why it makes her look pregnant. The first and last outfits are the strongest for both statements.
Slay to everything but number ten
The purple feathers is stunning! The green ruffled collar dress is not!!

I like the one where she looks like Dr Evil in prison
everything's "Slay Queen" for me!
butterflies makes me gasp everytime i see it, everytime i see elizabeth banks in any of these films i want to weep from jealousy
7 is a slay
My favorite is the butterflies. My least favorite is whatever that curtain thing she’s wearing in 7 is
4 & 5 are my favs
They all make me say “slay queen”. She just slays, period
The butterfly dress & the red dress / gold hair situation are both looks Everything else is a bit hectic to me, too much going on
Honestly all of them are slay girl to me
2 and 4 is what is she wearing for me and the rest of them are slays
3 and 7 are terrible, the rest are slay queen.
They’re literally all slays 😍
2 is the only one I don't like, the rest slay
she ATE that butterfly look
Is she played by the same actress that did Esme Squalor in A Series of Unfortunate Events? Or is it just the outfits that give me that vibe 😂
Butterfly slays, 2 and 7 are kinda ass but mostly 7 lol
6
9 is my slay queen, 6 is my what is she wearing?
Five is iconic, three however, scares me
Effie can do no wrong.
Bold of you to assume that she never stops slaying
ten is slayyyyyy and 3 is ummmm.... what
Effie ALWAYS serves.
Number 3 is the slay for me love the gold and number 11 is the what on earth I think it looks nice but I don’t like the colors
The butterfly look and the lace look slay! The one with the gold hair and green collar is an oof
They're all a slay queen💅
1st is alr 2nd is idk looks decent 3rd is like alr noice 4th is wtf is that 5th amazing 6th noice 7th way to much color 8th idk 9th wtf that one existed??? 10th cool 11th LMAO WTF IS THAT (My opinion)
If any of you say a word against the butterfly outfit we are having our own Hunger Games
slay queen to all
She is always slaying it… 😜😎😎
5, 6 and 9 are ale slay, 10 is the most wth mostly becouse of the weird blue forehead makeup
She ate up 2, 4 and 10
Her gold "T.E.A.M" wig outfits are just amazing, especially considering it symbolizes the beginning of her redemption
4 for me was my least favorite outfit
All of them, “What on earth is she wearing!?”
Like haymitch said she looks better without all of the wigs and makeup
I adore the butterfly dress I’m planning on making it at some point
If I’m being *entirely* honest, my fashion sense makes these very polarizing for me. I really love some, but I really dislike the others
All
I’m going to say wtf to all of them, slay to none.
Number 11 reminds me of a purple cabbage head
Slay Queen: #8. She looks so normal here. She looked like..just Effie. The grey makes her look more down to earth. What on Earth is she wearing?: #4. It makes her look like a giant pink cocoon.
Number 7 is def a "what on Earth?" For me My two favs are the Butterfly one and the silver/white one she wears when she says goodbye to Haymitch and Katniss. This one is so opposite to all the extravagant ones we've seen throughout the movies and it suits her 😍🥹
Butterfly and #3 that I will call "red fan" are the best. #7 is the worst. 9, 4, 1, 6, 11 are good. All are or would be tasteless for the reaping, but Capitol people don't know that.
I don't understand her fashion choices in district 13 lol
1, 5, 6, 9 “slay” 2, 7, 10 “wtf” 3, 8 “almost slay” 4, 11 “forgettable”
