Sudden change in style of dress or makeup

Those being groomed by traffickers often change the way they dress along with their makeup to please the person manipulating them. It’s the suddenness of the change that is a sign that someone is having a powerful influence on them.

“I couldn’t believe the change in my daughter. She never used to wear makeup. She even got her ears pierced. I had no idea that traffickers were grooming her until after she disappeared.”
