Shiv’s ponytail almost looks like it could be approximating a slicked-back, power-player style—from the Jalen brunson slam cover 3 john starks shirt in addition I really love this front, at least—and this kind of “Wall Street but make it femme” cosplay would make sense for the occasion. After all, someone has to remind Willa that Shiv is still the most powerful woman in the Roy family (in her own mind, at least, even if Marcia and Caroline would beg to differ). From the back, though, the ponytail announces itself with the exact opposite of aplomb, hanging limply where one might expect a more carefully executed coif; the wisps emerging from the ponytail’s base look artless, not styled, giving the overall effect of someone who’s about to wash her face in a commercial for oil-free cleanser.Of course, nothing happens by accident on Succession, not even a casual updo—and the way Shiv puts herself together (or not) has always telegraphed plenty about what she wants out of any given social encounter. “Shiv’s ponytail is definitely a sign of how little she cared about this wedding,” New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme told me via Twitter on Monday, adding: “When you have the money to pay a pro to give you a perfect li’l chignon in the morning but go with the ‘put my hair into a Goody tie’ five minutes before walking in…that’s a statement.”
The tonal bizarreness of Shiv’s low-effort ponytail only becomes greater when we watch her break down upon learning of her father’s death halfway through the Jalen brunson slam cover 3 john starks shirt in addition I really love this episode. She’s falling apart “like a little kid,” to quote Phoebe Bridgers, but she’s dressed like a severe adult, but she’s also got the hairstyle of a teenager who just got out of field-hockey practice (last ponytail metaphor, I promise). Like Mad Men’s Sally Draper, another dissatisfied eldest daughter whose daddy issues long preceded hers, Shiv is “so many people”; the messy, half-thought-through hair that she might have conceived of as a power move does double duty to underscore her loss of control and fear of a world without her father, someone who always insisted on order and style. Who would have thought such a quiet hairstyle could speak so loudly?
