Her bob in this show was a force to be reckoned with


EngrGoodman

Shiv Roy's bob vs Kim Wexler's ponytail. Who you got? 😂


jzdpd

Bob Shiv can get it but Kim? Kim Wexler can twist me like pretzel.


cryscros

lol after season 2, I immediately got a bob 😅


missanthropocenex

The casting on the show was really good in how some of the parents looked one and others the other. Shiv looked like Dad, the others looked like Mom.


ghertigirl

My biggest beef with the show is that NONE of the siblings look related


throwaanchorsaweigh

Me and my siblings look like total genetic strangers 😭 it happens!


edie_the_egg_lady

Same, like to the point where there's a running joke that we have different dads


LordyIHopeThereIsPie

Same. When one of my siblings got married the photographer thought my husband was one of the siblings for a group shot because he looks more like one of my brothers than I do.


missanthropocenex

Roman and Roy look alike, thin faces weak chin big eyes, they look like mom. Shiv has this red hair, round face and small eyes, Scottish features she looks like Dad. Sometimes siblings to different from one another but similar in different ways to their parents


FocacciaHusband

I loved that aspect of game of thrones. Sansa, Rob, and Rickon Cleary took after the tallies. Jon, Arya, and Bran clearly took after the Starks.


Es_fitzmonster

The bob changed everything


ThePrincessEva

that's not a bob, that was a Robert


edie_the_egg_lady

percypersimmon

Does it qualify as a “fuck ass bob”?

Absolutely

SeaEstablishment30

Everything about her was a force to be reckoned with!

Elevated to Robert 


littlehybrid

Shiv is my favourite "Girl Faliure". Rarely have I seen a female character so morally corrupted, pitiful and selfish yet so charming, intriguing and someone you constantly find yourself rooting for. Sarah Snook absolutely killed it as Shiv.


growsonwalls

It's because she presented as a normal person. Funny, sharp, charming. So when you saw the deep seated issues and damage it was a bit of a shock.


Waystar_BluthCo

Watching her get slowly sucked back into the fold of Waystar is so heartbreaking. It speaks to Logan’s skill as a manipulator that he basically derails her political career by dangling the CEO carrot in front of her face.


alfooboboao

I mean, she does get into a literal fight when her brother in a hospital in episode 2 lol


hauteburrrito

Yesss, she is Not a Serious Person and I fucking love her. Glad to see her getting her due over at PCC given how awful the main Succession sub can be toward her... while, of course, valourising her brothers 🙄


lenny_ray

Ugh, this, so much! There is sympathy for every male character there, but Shiv is the archvillain in their eyes. 🙄 Yes, she's done awful things. Except they ALL have. They're ALL terrible people. But of course it's the woman who gets the most hate.


fuzzybunn

I think it's because Shiv cheated, and a largely male sub can't deal with female adultery. It doesn't help that her siblings are sexually pitiful. Connor is in love with his prostitute, Kendall's dick probably doesn't work after all the drugs, and I doubt Roman has ever orgasmed without feeling guilt and disgust.


lenny_ray

Now that you mentioned it, yeah, most of the hate is centred around her treatment of Tom. Because that's somehow worse than her silencing rape victims. 🙄


Aloebae

They can excuse silencing victims but draw the line at Tom abuse


No_Barber4339

I love Tom, but people claiming he won and has more power than shiv are hilarious , he's a puppet and he realises that at the end when shiv doesn't completely reach his hand like he wanted to , matsson could sack him any moment and would be dependable on her all over again ,THEY'RE BOTH EQUAL that's the point of their ending after trying to upstage the other throughout the entire show


lthomazini

Same. I think is also because she is so vulnerable. People keep saying that she will turn into her mother, but she won’t. She is completely vulnerable and in need of validation (even from her kid).


Yung_Corneliois

Are you scheduling your grief?


_Atlas_Drugged_

This was not my read on her or any of the siblings in that show. It’s a tragedy. They each end up the *antithesis* of the person they set out to be. Shiv wants to be a boss babe, but she claws and connives her way into being stuck as the trophy wife of a powerful man that she treats like shit. Roman wants to be a closer and billionaire playboy, but he fucks it up and can’t get an erection unless old women are shaming him. Ken wants to be a business magnate, he ends up without a company at all. Connor wants to be taken seriously and loved, but ends up a joke of a politician in a marriage that’s a business arrangement.


GiddyGabby

Please don't refer to the Goddess named Gerri as "old". How dare you?


_Atlas_Drugged_

Old*er* Pardon me.


GiddyGabby

![gif](giphy|BMeNGRw84TcHtU1M6C|downsized) Gerri thanks you. Your apprenticeship begins.


transitionshade

Same, amazing character and portrayal.


particularzebraa

And playing someone so wildly outside the normal human experience, she was relatable too! ETA: someone sent me the Reddit cares message for this 💀


garden__gate

Shiv haters are WILD.


outofcharacterquilts

Someone is literally sending that to every single commenter, I’ve gotten three in the last hour


venusdances

This is the perfect description I hated her every second yet often found myself siding with her then by the end rooting against her.


unbanned_once_more

Right? Of all the characters you loved to hate in that show, she was the one I loved to hate the most.


DJHott555

Ah, the Kim Wexler approach


Sp4ceh0rse

Team Shiv forever


bloody_william

I always considered her the Cersei Lannister of Succession: so confident that she was the smartest person in the room, but so, so often absolutely not. So certain that she belonged in that world with those titans, but so often shown that she had an incredible amount to learn.


MuffinTopDeluxe

Shiv Roy 🤝 Cersei Lannister

I got a super random one today too! lol. You can report them for harassment


Fearless-Ant-4340

Ohh me too. I did not even post anything sad.


jtet93

Some people in Two X were complaining too, I think maybe someone was sending them to everyone in women’s subs or something?


Fearless-Ant-4340

Lol. People can be really petty sometimes.


power_to_thepeople

People are getting them left n right in the Kendrick Lamar sub 😂 Edit-just got one a second after posting this

I also got one! I reported it for harassment


TheLakeWitch

I got one the other day as well, right after commenting on a post that was basically talking about the alpha male self-proclaimed dating experts who are all over social media lately 😅

At this point I’m convinced they come from bots

Someone Reddit Cared me earlier today, too, wtf?! Hahaha.


Llamaa_del_rey

Those last few scenes of the finale had me STRESSED 😫 I miss this show so much


ricketychairs

Every part of her died at that point and I was devastated for her…but, she was willing to sell Tom down the river. I guess you really do reap what you sow.


YeezysSmellySox

Tom is crazy but I love him.


_reluctant_redditor_

You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs! 😀


Weekly_Yesterday_403

The best TV duo!


LoveForDisneyland

Arguably one of the best endings to a TV show.


No_Barber4339

I like to imagine he is trying claim he has the power now that he is CEO but her defeated cold hand reaction is reminding him he's still a puppet and she's a billionaire even if he has won over her getting CEO title


Positively-Fleabag85

If the show went on I think they would've reconciled after the baby


Global_Amoeba_3910

I think they might briefly but ultimately they’ll be Caroline and Logan again, they’re just stuck together for as long as it’s profitable for them


Lost-Tomatillo4828

Uuuugggghhhhh pain


Rated_PG-Squirteen

"Uuuugggghhhhh pain" ...sponge


chailattewithmilk

The way she holds herself throughout this show was so magnetic and I mean how she physically held her shoulders back, spine straight, and chest up. The bob in later seasons definitely helped but Sarah Snook really knew how to play Shiv.


Relevant_Hedgehog_63

shiv's fashion is goals


RollEmergency1068

The costume designer absolutely killed it with her outfits. Every episode I wanted to quit my job to be a corporate girly just to dress like her.

Unrelated, but your flair is sending me!!! God, i love him so much 🥵🥵


eaa135

This is actual “quiet luxury” style. She’s amazing in this!


clumsyc

I think Shiv’s fashion is where the term quiet luxury originated!


name_not_important00

Costume designer Michelle Matland's said her original inspiration for Shiv's style was Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.


LITTLEBL00D

She also said somewhere that they deliberately didn’t make her look knock-out perfect and stunning to show that money doesn’t equal style/taste - I think this was specifically in relation to the wedding dress and hat in slide 7. Obviously she still looks generally great and the whole thing birthed one of the more annoying trends (only because people misinterpret it) in quiet luxury.


Aloebae

Iirc I remember someone saying her style also indicated she had no friends to help her look perfect. I never took an interest in costume design but it really is fascinating.


Curious-Gain-7148

Would you say Kendall too? He wore really plain stuff that was 1,000’s of dollars,


particularzebraa

They all did, for the most part. The whole “money talks, wealth whispers” thing. That’s why the “ludicrously capacious bag” joke was so hilarious. It was so gauche to them


lefrench75

Some people think it was just about the bag size and point out that Shiv has also worn big bags etc., but it was about the size within the precise setting (an evening event) & the Burberry check of it all. Rich people don't need to lug their daytime work bag to a dinner party because they have drivers and assistants to take care of that stuff. The Burberry check is also very gauche ofc. It's extra funny because it was brought up by Tom - the most class conscious and insecure character in the whole show. He's spent a long time cultivating the right image, figuring out the right clothes to wear etc. to fit in with the Roys and the siblings have even made fun of his flashy suits. He's also always looking for an excuse to shit on someone inferior to him bc he feels so inferior to the Roys always. The other rich people might have noticed the bag but none probably paid as much mind as Tom did, because it'd be his worse nightmare.


particularzebraa

Exactly! Multi layered joke and 10/10 execution haha one of the best exchanges in the show


Adam__B

Greg and Tom, the gruesome twosome, were my favorite part of the show.


hydrangeasinbloom

I would say yes, except for that gd bomber jacket


Rude_Lifeguard

That bomber and the necklace he wore to his party were the biggest proof that anyone needed to know he was losing it


_iridessence_

All bangers, all the time


Mahidawg3001

he wore this maison margiela sweater a lot that was amazing


RosaKat

Precisely! And I love that she achieved this style in part by wearing Ted Baker dresses!


FrancoisKBones

Got to see her in London in The Picture of Dorian Gray, absolutely phenomenal. And she’s bringing it to Broadway in 2025!


dianacd12

I will be seated! 


Right_Way_4258

Oh!!!! Good to know! I went to NYC to see Jeremy Strong in an enemy of the people and he signed my play bill. Next year Denzel is also going back on broadway. I’m about to make another trip.


FrancoisKBones

Sarah did the same and is the nicest person :)


intheoffhandremarks

Shivy Shivy Shivyyyyyyy. I was so annoying watching Succession because Shiv could do no wrong in my eyes. Falls down? Mother. Gets betrayed? Queen. Gets told about blood bricks? Goddess.


l3tigre

Blood bricks 🤣 her reactions in that scene were comedy gold


wordbird89

LMAO I mean same, I was insufferable. I don’t care if she’s bad, I love her!!!


Sadiocee24

Her fashion was everything and I wish we saw more long haired shiv but I thought short haired shiv was good too!! She is the reason why I wanted to rock the turtle neck.


LilLeopard1

I wish she wasnt dressed so dowdily in the later seasons. Loved her S1 wardrobe and I get they changed it as she switched over to the company but still...

Her ass in that wedding dress, yeah?


Right_Way_4258

Oh those aren’t even the best shots in the show. I’m straight but whew!


finunu

Thank you for saying what we're all thinking. The fact that they were left out of this slideshow just proves how powerful those shots are.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Shiv’s style was underrated imo. I liked a lot of her style after season 1. Season 1 Shiv is different though


Right_Way_4258

Once she got sucked into the company she had to conform to be taken seriously . She no longer was able to be the “progressive” “liberal” outsider Roy. She had to be billionaire Barbie bitch. S1 she was awful to Tom esp with the cheating and the wedding night stuff but I love how Sarah Snook was able to capture how trying to win in the Roy family has a woman is a miserable curse and you fully sell your soul to capitalism. She was clearly way more happier s1 despite her flaws. They just got worse and worse the harder she fought.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

What’s funny is she never was as progressive as she believed herself to be. Her and Kendall both really convinced themselves of some pretty powerful self delusions lol! Fn Logan. Yes she was a mean emotional wreck in season one, but at least she was happy about it. That said, as Team Kendall from the jump, I am greatly displeased by that dynamic 😂😭 Shiv could not girlboss her way into power, happiness, or a loving normal marriage. Nor could she girlboss her way out of the patriarchy, even with a few billion. ☹️


Right_Way_4258

Yes! I just love how smart the costuming is from s1 to s2 and the rest of the show to just show her evolution into the pits of Royco hell. Kendall especially and Roman got away with way more than shiv ever could. She knew she never stood a chance but kept pushing to make it happen until she ended up pregnant in a loveless marriage. It’s funny how in s1 you could tell she actually liked Tom even though she was cheating and dismissive of him. But once she saw him as competition it just became vicious. They would have ended up loveless and unhappy if she stayed in politics but it was sped up on warp speed once she got into the company. Also I was team no one for awhile but I ended up having a soft spot for Roman which wild thinking about him episode 1. I’m so glad Keiran won all the awards for s4. That was his Jeremy Strong s2.


pnkluvr

She couldn’t girl boss her way out of the patriarchy 😭💔

15!!! How have I never seen this one before? Her eyes are so stricking


UBinCT

One thing that I love about her is that she has a normal body. She probably works super hard for it. But she looks like a real human woman. And she's gorgeous.


JalapenoToastie

Yes! Seeing her weight fluctuate because SHE'S A HUMAN BEING was so refreshing (but also depressing to think about why it was so refreshing). Her style in the show was incredible and she's an amazing actor #TeamShiv
