You think Dark Swan should look like Pamela Anderson in "Barb Wire"? Cos I think she should look like Pamela Anderson on that boat movie with Tommy Lee.

Anyway, there's been articles/interviews about why they went with the look they chose, Jennifer Morrison has explained it a few times, it's supposed to symbolize both the good and the bad in Emma.
