The nerdy girl in the movie actually being stunning IRL was always amusing

"No, no, no, no, anyone but her! Not...Janey Briggs! Guys, she's got glasses and a ponytail! Aw, look at that, she's got paint on her overalls, what is that? Guys, there's no way she could be prom queen!"

Not that unusual. Hate to blow their cover, but look closer at all the nerdy women...

Linda Cardellini. She is absolutely stunning IRL and a very underrated actress IMO

She has sex scenes with Natalie Morales in Dead to Me. Just putting that out there.

Immediately at the top of my watch list. Because the movie sounds so good. I'm sure it will be.

Wasn't that liek a part of the jokes?

No, it's a tragedy, not a joke. The tragedy of beauty standards in films, when even the supposed "ugly girls" are actually beautiful but the supposed "beautiful girls" set unrealistic expectations.
