"Before its afterlife as palette inspo, the A-bomb displaced and laid waste to Native American and Hispanic communities at its testing site in New Mexico, killed untold numbers of Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and condemned generations of their children to radiation-induced cancer. A very pretty history indeed (none of which, incidentally, is given a lick of screentime in 'Oppenheimer.')
Pugh departs from the bombshell hyperfemininity of the atomic pin-ups with her buzzcut and nose ring. But there’s nothing freeing, interesting, or even original about a pretty, wealthy white woman playing dress up with historical trauma. Strip away the heat and flair and sex, and it’s just heartless."

Pugh’s incendiary look was a modern incarnation of the atomic pageants of the 1950s.
