Clothes and Appearance
In the first shot of Nancy, she is wearing a high school jacket with her dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail. Throughout the movie, her hair gets a white streak after her nightmares. She usually sleeps in her trademark white pajamas although the original (and German release) poster depicts her as sleeping naked. Originally terrified through her experiences, she later grows courage throughout the movie which helps her defeat Freddy. Most of Nancy's outfits have a trace of pink, ranging from her sweater vest to her sleeping attire at the sleep clinic.
In the third movie, her hair is much lighter and more curly—though the gray streak is still evident. Nancy's outfit at the film's conclusion looks similar to the one worn during her first encounter with Freddy Krueger. Nancy is once again wearing something pink and knitted with tannish slacks. Her trademark white pajamas appear at the end of Wes Craven's New Nightmare. They are slightly different as this time they are long sleeved (with the sleeves rolled up) and do not feature any design on the chest. In this movie she has much darker hair than she did in Dream Warriors. Again, she gets a white streak in her hair and requires a bandage in the same place where Freddy sliced her in the original Nightmare, making her appearance in this movie much more similar (than in the third movie) to her appearance in the first movie.

“February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.”
