DRESS TO EXPRESS

For some unexplainable reason, the characters that I tend to identify with and admire on screen are nearly always supporting characters.
Some because of their erudition. Others because of their extraversion. And others because they are extravert and dress in bright colours/revolutionarly unusual patterns (and are certainly cultured).
The Stylist in Disney's Bolt, for instance. She has got but a few words and a few seconds of screentime, but her youth, extraversion, and attire (being nothing more than a caricature of a stereotypical film stylist) have given her a niche in my heart:

This is partially due to the human conflict between desire and duty, between honne and tatemae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honne_and_tatemae). Social standards don't allow young women to skip, jump, and overreact like children... Luckily, neither the Stylist, Luna Lovegood, Ty Lee or Pinkie Pie are limited by such constraints (and neither Lady Valdis)!
