I've been waiting months to judge these girls, so here it is.
I just have to say that I love the look of Claudia. She's so cute! How would she not be the most popular girl in school? I hope she has like 5 wardrobe changes per episode, lol.
Stacey looks very generic, which I guess the character is. She's always totally put together because she has "buys the whole outfit off of the mannequin" type style.
I like the look of Mary Anne's jumper with mismatched tennis shoes. I guess it's "younger looking" than the other girls, but it also looks like Richard would favor school uniforms.
Kristy looks totally cute and normal. I like the Stoneybrook Middle School t-shirt for her.
I don't have much on Dawn except I hate those pants. That look is not "California casual" to me. She seems to be the one people are most excited for, but she's so far from what I picture that she's almost like a new character to me.
Ok, I want to hear them speak, get the rest of the cast announced, and get rolling on this thing! Does everyone have access to Netflix so that we can actually talk about it when it premieres?

I think the Claudia actress is perfect, if she doesn't get a wardrobe change at least twice an episode I'll riot. I do have netflix so I'll definitely be on here talking about the episodes (although hopefully not spamming the boards).

I like them all, except that I agree about Dawn's pants. They don't look like pants Dawn would wear and they don't look good with the rest of Claudia's outfit, either.
I like the continuity nod of having the jaguar as the SMS mascot -- we didn't learn that until late in the series, so it's nice to see that they bothered about that when adapting early books.
I have Netflix and will definitely want to talk about the episodes!

Claudia (and maybe Stacey) are the only ones who look right to me.
Dawn and Mary Anne did a 180 lol.
Kristy doesn’t look right to me. The girl has the tomboy look, but doesn’t look like Kristy. TV Kristy from 1990 is still hands down the best Kristy.

She looks right to me, except that she's got a really long neck, which is more Jessi-the-graceful-ballerina than Kristy-the-jock. And I don't think the angle she's at on the poster is the best, because it makes her neck look so long that it's abnormal. 100% agree that Avriel Hillman IS Kristy.

Avriel Hillman is still who I see and hear when I reread the books. This version of Krisry kind of reminds me of Schuyler Fisk from the movie, who is a natural redhead I think.

Avriel Hillman is a great Kristy but I'm totally giving this new girl a chance. I want to see them in action and how the stories go before judging how they look.

Claud looks pitch perfect. I agree that Avriel Hillman really looked and acted the part, but I didn’t like the old TV series and hope the reboot does the series justice.
I do find it weird that MA has glasses. I find her being biracial kind of funny because the books always made ‘Jessi is black’ into such a huge thing. So glad that has been changed. It’s great to see more racial diversity in the cast. I wonder if Mal and Jessi will appear.
I love Latina Dawn... but I’m annoyed that they couldn’t stick to California Casual (even if they didn’t call it that).
Since I always picture Stace the way Hodges draws her, she doesn’t look quite right to me. I always pictured her as looking slightly older than the rest of the cast.

Oh, I didn't mean that this girl can't also be a great Kristy because Avriel Hillman was. We haven't seen any of the episodes yet. I would be very happy if there were two perfect Kristys, and I would still be pretty happy to have one perfect Kristy and two really good Kristys (because I did like Schuyler Fisk a lot, too).

That would be awesome, I like all three too.

I just hope that they can act better than previous casts.

Sorry for double posting but i found interviews with a few of the actresses. Looks like all the filming is done listening to what the stacey actress has to say and projecting early summer for a release date. There's also a demo reel on Stacey, Mary Anne, Kristy, and Dawn's page. StaceyDawn Kristy

Well... I hope they can act better than they interview. Lol, it's hard to tell when they're so young. I think I tried watching that movie that Kristy was in. It was on Lifetime and was bad. Dawn has a friendly smile. Kristy does have a really long neck (wanderingfrog's comment from above).
