I Can't Stop Thinking About Shiv Roy's Low-Effort Wedding Ponytail

This story contains major spoilers for Season 4, Episode 3 of .There was so, so much to unpack on the most recent episode of Succession, from the death of paterfamilias Logan Roy (in a plane bathroom?!?) to the long-anticipated nuptials of Connor and Willa (you go, girl) to the unanticipated horror of watching the rest of the Roy siblings grieve (in the way that only they can).

Somewhat like a Roy sibling myself, I'm unable to deal with the full scope of what the show handed us last night. Honestly, Shiv crying and telling her dad she loves him was not something I was emotionally prepared for—so I'm hyper-fixating on something minimal: specifically, the sloppy ponytail that wears to Connor's wedding.Low-maintenance occasion hair is definitely a thing, but the specifics of Shiv's ponytail still mystify me.

This is a prototypical poorly dressed rich woman we're talking about, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised that she showed up at her brother's wedding looking like she just tied her hair back to wolf down a Dodger Dog (stealth wealth and what have you), but I still am."I think it's telling that Shiv's hair is even long enough to throw back in a messy, slapdash ponytail after years of having her immaculately kept power bob," notes Vogue senior beauty editor Lauren Valenti, adding: "She was definitely getting weekly trims like clockwork, especially before major family/high-profile events.

The energy of it feels very ‘fuck off’ à la Logan when he's had it."Shiv's ponytail almost looks like it could be approximating —from the front, at least—and this kind of Wall Street-but-make-it-femme cosplay would make sense for the occasion.
