* HollywoodHomely: Bryce Dallas Howard gained weight for the role (overlapping with HollywoodPudgy) and is constantly described as being significantly uglier than Alice Eve's Naomi. She's still a beautiful woman and it's near-impossible to see how.

She's still a beautiful woman and it's near-impossible to see how. Though given the hyper-judgemental, nitpicky and cruelly superficial world she lives in, it makes a certain amount of sense that even minor "blemishes" would be ballooned into major flaws.

Added DiffLines:

* VerbalBackpedaling: Very prone to this, as her StepfordSmiler facade cracks pretty easily under duress. Of note is when she yells at the charge station guy for giving her a two-star, then immediately lowers her voice and rephrases it.

* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Even after getting reduced to a 2, Lacie still blindly follows the system and refuses Susan's offer of a ride because she's a low 1.

* LoveMartyr: A [[AmbiguouslyBi possibly]] platonic example. Even after Ryan points out how abusive Naomi was to her during their childhood, Lacie rationalizes all of that away and then denies the one thing that cannot be excused (Naomi sleeping with her boyfriend).

* FriendlessBackground: Subverted. Ryan is actually the only character in the movie shown to have genuine friends, with whom he can be himself around. Even getting evicted from the house doesn't hurt him much because he knows someone who's willing to let him stay in his house.

* AlphaBitch: Was one in high school, and still is one in the present day, being beautiful, popular, snobby, and bitchy.

* AlphaBitch: Was one in high school, and still She is one in the present day, being beautiful, pretty, very popular, snobby, and bitchy.one of the [[TheBeautifulElite "primes"]], and she's also very mean and obnoxious. She used to bully Lacie when they were younger, and apparently she only kept her around to feel good about herself at Lacie's expense. She only approaches Lacie again after a long time because bringing an old contact with a low four rating as her maid of honor would play well with her guests, as it would seem like a genuine friendship, but the moment her rating begins to drop, she tries to ditch her, openly admits she only invited her because of numbers, and humiliates her once again, saying there's no way she could get the "primo votes" on her own.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's ''long'' since stopped giving even the slightest shit about social niceties but she's not a bad person. She helps Lacie when she's in a bind and gives her sincerely good and well-intentioned advice to just abandon the system and be herself and wants to see others get the same freedom she has.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all his flaws, he loves his sister dearly and hates how trying to maneuver a brutally and insane system has damaged her.

* FalseFriend: Naomi wanted Lacie to be maid of honour purely because a 4.8 giving the honour to a 4.2 looked great on rating projections - and when Lacie's score drops to the low 2's, Naomi immediately drops her oldest friend. Given some choice comments, Naomi probably never was Lacie's friend really. Also, it should be noted that 3.8 is the minimum ranking allowed for entry into the property, let alone the party itself.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Lacie claims that he gets his likes from his gamer friends and so shouldn't judge her for garnering them in her own way; indeed, his score might be nothing special seen through the eyes of a hardcore SocialClimber, but Lacie meets many people on the grind who are ''way'' lower. Either way, he certainly doesn't pursue those stars as aggressively as she does.
