The first edition of Capitol Couture's new feature, Game Faces is here. With the Quarter Quell nearing, it’s time to size up our fearless—and hopefully, flawless—competitors with an aesthetic eye. Brute strength and cunning may be the most important assets for combat, but here in the Capitol, we know that a perfectly arched brow, a steely gaze, and even an artful flush go a long way too—especially, with our discerning sponsors.
First up is Girl on Fire, Katniss Everdeen:
D12F: Katniss
Year of Victory: 74th Hunger Games
Coif: 10
Pout: 9
Poise: 10
CC Style Score: 9.5
Our dearest District 12 tribute Katniss never disappoints. Her natural, unadorned beauty inspires us all in the Capitol to flirt with simplicity. If only we were all blessed with her majestic stance and natural assets—especially that preternaturally long neck and regal gaze.
Her signature braid, which has spawned infinite copycat plaits and caused many a hair stylist to practice her skills, looks almost like a protective asp ready to strike. It keeps pesky wisps from her eyes when she’s scaling hurdles and shooting arrows too. Fashion and function marry so well here.
As for cosmetics, this tribute’s clean brows and minimalistic eye make up accentuate her stormy gaze. We love that her full lips feature just a dash of nude gloss. In throwing her shoulders back slightly, she shows off her strong, fit physique. Is it Peeta that she sees off in the distance, we wonder?
