Effie Trinket – Elizabeth Banks
In The Hunger Games movie series, Elizabeth Banks looks very different than usual as Capitol-born chaperone Effie Trinket. In early entries of the franchise, Effie’s appearance is particularly unusual with ornate wigs, makeup, and costumes.
Elizabeth Banks, who portrayed Effie in the Hunger Games movies, found her character’s long nails to be frustrating and restrictive. It was also challenging for her to keep from touching her face while wearing full makeup. However, she enjoyed talking with the cast while she sat in the makeup chair for hours at a time.
