 When it comes to fashion, Bella is not traditionally feminine.She hates dressing up, saying that makeup "is a pain" and that she feels uncomfortable in impractical, elegant clothes; however, Alice does not care what Bella thinks and continues to persuade her to dress up and look glamorous.She is not materialistic and does not like spending money on luxurious items, telling Edward in "New Moon" "not to spend a dime on [her] birthday," and that fast cars are unnecessary, saying that Edward gave her himself and anything else he gives her would throw their relationship off balance.
