Molly Ringwald Critiques Ally Sheedy's Makeover in 'Breakfast Club' Reunion

During the 40th Anniversary Reunion for 'The Breakfast Club' at the C2E2 convention, Molly Ringwald expressed her dissatisfaction with the makeover scene of Ally Sheedy's character, Allison, in the classic 1985 film. Ringwald clarified she was not responsible for the transformation of Allison from a goth look to a preppy style, which she felt undermined the film's themes of individuality and non-conformity. Sheedy, too, shared her discomfort with the scene, revealing that it was a studio decision despite efforts to alter it. Judd Nelson defended the scene, noting it was justified within the film's dialogue. Fans have long criticized the makeover as unnecessary, feeling it detracted from Allison's unique character. Ringwald suggested that a more natural look for Sheedy's character would have been more appropriate.
