Look, Hermione's "glow up" was always the equivalent of the Princess Diaries "Glow Up" -- the person was always pretty, but the styling became different. Most people look awkward during their preteen years.

I do think it's very fair to be angry at the movie for never letting her have curly hair past the third movie because of how harmful the "straight hair is automatically prettier than curly hair" mentality is. It would have seemed way more natural if she had curly hair during classes/on the run, and a variety of hair styles (yes even straightened) during the Yule Ball/Hogsmead trips/other social things.

Mostly, I was annoyed at how the director glammed her up the second it wouldn't look like he was glamming up a kid. Perfect encapsulation for how teen girls are expected to look like grown women. Also, what's the impact of the Yule Ball when you already changed the way you did her hair and make up? It was just like "okay, so she just put her hair in a bun and is wearing a pretty dress instead of a uniform" which made everyone's "OMG!" reactions seem asinine.
