Best: Yennefer

Anya Chalotra is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and this season is a stark reminder that some people truly are built different. Yennefer’s long, softly curled locks look so good and so much like Chalotra’s natural hair that I thought it was real until a TikTok showing her transformation in the hair and makeup chair proved otherwise.

Her purple contacts look more like real eyes this season rather than bizarre Instagram filter purple peepers with the saturation turned up too high from seasons past, so I can focus on the beautiful job Chalotra does of channeling Yen rather than wincing at her eyes.

Now, I don’t love all of Yen’s looks in earlier episodes this season—they feel a bit too pastoral, like they’re trying too hard to convince you that she’s a nice older sister and not some sexy, backstabbing sorceress, we promise. But that long, back-spanning fishtail braid and midriff-baring dress she wears at the Aretuza ball? Chef’s kiss. Plus, they bring back the iconic Yen necklace!

Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Yennefer’s nails, which are long and soft-pink like raw rose quartz. I need them!
