This story contains minor spoilers for The Phoenician Scheme. When Mia Threapleton’s character Liesl reconnects with her father Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro) in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme, it’s been 15 years since he sent her away to a convent. Since then, Zsa-zsa has continued his questionable wheelings and dealings to remain a successful baron of industry, while Liesl has taken solemn vows to become a nun. But despite Liesl’s initial detest for his opulent lifestyle, it’s clear that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree because she is, by all accounts, a chic nun.
Rather than modestly concealing her hair, Liesl’s shaggy bangs peek out from under her veil. She wears a habit adorned with a Peter Pan collar and buttons. As the young nun becomes more enmeshed in her estranged father’s world of luxury throughout Anderson’s latest (which arrives in select theaters on May 31), she doesn’t necessarily stray further from the Heavenly Father. She does, however, start finding even more beauty in earthly delights—makeup being one of them.
