Charles surrounds herself with pretty people. It’s not conscious, and it’s not even from a judgmental standpoint. It is largely because she is an athlete with majority athlete friends, so most of her friends are going to be, at the least, fit. Strength and athleticism aren’t the only qualifiers to beauty, obviously, but there is always beauty in strength and drive, which is what all of Charles’s friends have, men and women. It is a strategic move, because if Charles is just as pretty as everyone else in her circle, then the focus will be on her talent, on her brain, on her career, which is far more pleasant to talk about than her looks.
Esteban Ocon is not part of Charles’ circle for many reasons, but a big one, a main one, is that Esteban Ocon is not pretty. Esteban Ocon is fucking gorgeous, and there is a difference between the two, no matter how much everyone else wants to pretend there isn't.
