Betty's look toward the last series

Her new look in the final season was terrible. I think the writers were preparing for the inevitable cancellation but still did not. So they altered her look a little bit to make her look better because there was talk to do that all along but they didn't go full out and make her drop dead beautiful.

I don't know who they had dressing her though because she looked worse than before she just was wearing "designer clothing".

I am disappointed too.That's why I can't ship Daniel and Betty.It's like Betty lost weight,started wearing better clothes,removed the glasses,and got pretty and then Daniel notices her.It defeats the entire message of the show.

I've never been a fan of Betty's look. I love most of her clothes (but as separate items, not how she wears them meshed together). I actually like how her character grew throughout the series, and I did not feel like she lost her personality at all. I felt she matured and grew up. Series one Betty saw everything in black and white, was very judgmental and had a serious superiority complex at time (which she used to hide her anxiety and insecurity).
As Betty grew she became more confident in herself, in her talent as a writer and in her own style. I loved watching her mature, because she still remained a loving, kind and generous person, but let go of her judgment and insecurity.
I know many people will disagree with my point of view, but heck I adore Betty.

Also, many of Betty's outfits in the early seasons looked sooooooo warm to wear. Too many layers!
