Turtlenecks

I was wondering the same thing! Maybe she has a new scar or something? Cut herself shaving........

It made sense for her modern fashion... it was her look. But they even used it in the strange flashback sequence, and it looked ridiculous. Did MM get a neck tattoo?

An attempt to hide a double chin?

Obviously to hide her double chin. Some fat people are insecure about that and cover it with scarves and Tnecks.

It was ALL I could look at in every scene. They should subtitle this "The Woman Who Hated Her Neck" because it's so obvious what she is doing!

Yeah, something really "off" about the turtleneck. It's beyond what a normal turtleneck is...this goes all the way to her chin, even around the back...it's just under her ears and goes up to the hairline on the back of her head. It's very odd, distracting and stupid looking. I agree that it must be hiding some unhealed surgery scars from her weight loss. I don't see it being a "character" thing at all, as some of the other posters on here have suggested. It would have been referenced in the film at some point if that was the case.

She had a neckbrace on from a previous injury

She should have pulled the turtleneck up higher to hide that ugly face of hers.
