Laura Dern's new 'Star Wars' character looks ready for the Hunger Games

Lady's got style.

Looks like the Resistance just got a little bit more colorful.

Laura Dern's new character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi has just been revealed, and in contrast to the beiges and browns that seem to characterize most Resistance closets, she seems to favor pinks and purples.

Take a gander below:

Between the pink hair and that draped capelet situation, she looks kinda like Effie Trinket trying to go low-key.

But, okay, so now that we know what she looks like, who the heck is she?

According to Vanity Fair, she's Vice Admiral Holdo, described as "a prominent officer in the Resistance." Star Wars being Star Wars, that's all we're getting for now. But whoever she is, she certainly seems to have a sense of drama.
