... you will surely agree. Jüngere Leute werden sich eher "aufstylen", neutraler ist: sich hübsch (zurecht) machen. Ich tendiere zu: "sich in Schale werfen bzw. schmeißen" - das ist zwar "altes Deutsch", aber immer noch in aller Munde (bei Alt und Jung).

My comment:
Fokus im englischen Ausdruck liegt darauf, sich nicht nur hübsch zu machen, sondern das Ganze mit einer "hochwertigen" Eleganz zu gestalten
