Who says we don’t recycle in the Capitol? This showstopping jacket was repurposed from gold tapestries woven in district 8.

EFFIE TRINKET

HER TRIBUTES AREN’T THE ONLY THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SEASON.

With a keen eye towards cutting edge trends and a willingness to break boundaries, Capitol-born style icon and District 12 Escort Effie Trinket has been a fashion pioneer since her very first Hunger Games. She has been known to take the iconic building blocks of contemporary Capitol fashion such as sleeves, hairpieces and bold colors and craft stunning looks that go on to influence all of Panem’s fashion-forward citizens. Whether she is chauffeuring her latest Tributes or walking the boulevards of the Capitol, Effie maintains an exquisite profile that demonstrates her spirit and the pride she takes in her work.

When it comes to the day-to-day, Effie likes to complement her exquisite full body polish with audacious garment selections paired with dazzling footwear such as the daring 24-Karat McQueen peep-toes she was recently spotted wearing in the City Circle. It’s no surprise Capitol designers are literally lining up to create her next pair. And who wouldn’t? When it comes to shoes, Effie’s got sole. “The higher the heel the better. I just love love love dropping by the City Circle in my perspex-heeled metallic booties!”

THE 74TH HUNGER GAMES IS #1!

This year’s Hunger Games has truly proven to be a spectacle for the ages - not only are fans calling it one of the most gripping, unusual Games in Panem’s history, but it has become the most-watched Hunger Games in our nation’s glorious history. Citizens lined up by the hundreds of thousands in their District Squares to watch the already-legendary events of the 74th Hunger Games transpire, with many other eager citizens waiting in the wings for their chance to behold the majesty of the Games. The 74th Hunger Games has doubtlessly become an event that will loom forever in the collective mind of all of Panem. Thank you, citizens, for supporting your Districts, your Tributes, and most importantly, your Capitol this Hunger Games.

AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MAKE-UP MASTER/BEARD ARCHITECT VE NEILL

Citizens, it’s become pretty clear that a new up-and-comer has stolen the show this Hunger Games season — and we’re not talking about any tribute. Head Gamemaker Seneca Crane’s beard has become the talk of the Capitol, inspiring copy-cat creations all over town. While any old district citizen can pick up a razor, Capitol Couture went straight to the source - masterly make-up artist Ve Neill — to get an exclusive interview on how she crafted Panem’s best-tressed secret.
