Reaping Day- Effie Trinket
The Reaping day is one of the most exciting and significant scenes in the book, the film and probably in the whole series. If Prim's name hadn't been reaped Katniss wouldn't have volunteered won, had to pretend to be in love with a boy and eventually lead a rebellion!

| Effie's exact outfit she wore on Reaping Day 
|
One of the most hard thought and designed part of the reaping scene was surprisingly (Ok maybe not that surprisingly) Effie's outfit!!! In tons of interviews Elizabeth Banks says she spend ages in hair and make up perfecting the look from the kabuki lip to the Marie Antoinette hair Effie had to be perfect!!!
The outfit was a skirt suit with a high waisted fuchsia pencil skirt and a pink blazer with (extremely) ruched shoulders. The simple very low black v neck t- shirt underneath the suit match her very high lace up heels that remind me of heeled converse quite a lot. Then of course we have the accessories. The big pink flower detail necklace and the huge pink rose head piece she wears on a powder pink wig. The hair and make up must also be mentioned the pink eyes and lips and cheeks on the chalk white skin look just perfect very Victorian and at the same time very modern, that is Effie's look to a tee.
Of course Effie's role in this scene and the movie in general is very important. She is kind of like the District 12 tributes manager. She pulls them out of the reaping bowl she travels with them, gets to know them, gets to like them, gives them advice and then in most cases watches them die a cruel, and often violent or painful death. Saying Effie is just another cruel Capitoler is wrong, she supported and helped so many people and I think Effie is one of those unsung heroes so Effie we salute you and your outrageous dress sense, because doing a job like that I think takes real guts!
