Fabulous Women

The Plateau is certainly a place where women take fashion seriously. Although we attribute a heightened sense of style to the arrival of Marguerite Krux, the high priestess of looking good under any circumstances, it is clear that the natives of the Plateau have always tried to show creativity in clothing and appearance. From the Zanga and their colorful sarongs to the Kanu and their inspired body make-up we have seen a wide variety of looks over the years.

Her own woman - Veronica Layton's style
 
Veronica is a strong supporter of native chic. Her look is adapted to a daily routine of running through the jungle, swinging from vines and beating up insolent villains who dare to stand in her way. Her wardrobe is not exactly an example of great variety, as it basically consists of one style. Her first outfit was made of dark leather, her second outfit was created from light brown leather and the cut was changed a bit to emphasize... whatever.

Veronica's Signature Look - The Leather Outfit

Lightweight, durable leather and a simple cut have served Veronica well in all types of situations

Veronica has worn fur coats on two occasions. Both times she returned from a long journey, which seems to be significant.
Speculations abound that she is wearing a fur coat not for fashion reasons, but rather out of an emotional need. It is possible that the fur coat serves as a comfort tool (similar to Linus Van Pelt's blanket)? Does she need it to help her deal with a sense of loss, even abandonment, the key experience of her childhood? 
Our answer to these speculations is blunt. This type of psychobabble should not be taken too seriously. Our theory is that she simply wears a fur coat to cover unsightly spots on her outfit. Her encounters with villains usually entail some spilled blood (the opponent's!) and without the amazing service of the Zanga Mall dry cleaner at her disposal Veronica is forced to walk around in a messy outfit which of course is unacceptable. Hence the cover-up.

The Many Looks of Marguerite Krux
 
Great outfits and sophisticated looks show us that no matter where a balloon takes you, you don't have to succumb to a grunge look.
Marguerite Krux is without a doubt the most stylish inhabitant on the Plateau. We have never seen her dishevelled, without eyeliner or with frizzy curls. Even in moments of extreme crisis her look is elegant and stylish.
 

Could these two look any better?

Who cares whether she is a real baroness?

What makes Marguerite's appearance so special? She is living proof that a woman with true style can be fabulous under any circumstances. Nearly had your heart ripped out by a crazed Nordic bitch? No reason not to have spectacularly great hair. Being chased by dinosaurs, headhunters and spirits of the forest? No reason not to look fetching in a red druid outfit. Captured by evil lizards and turned into a slave? She chooses the best outfit and dazzles humans and lizards alike.

Perfect leisure wear, also appeals to giants

A fetching oriental style - we hope that she has taken this outfit back to the Treehouse

Miss Krux is a shining example to us all. She makes it all look so easy and while we know she has been blessed with porcelain skin, amazing hair and alluring eyes, we also know that she spends considerable time on grooming. She is an experienced multitasker.

Just because a horde of Norse warriors attacks

... doesn't mean she's willing to neglect her sartorial perfection

What really matters in the Lost World - all about clothes, hair and make-up
