For the excursion, Conn donned a pink polo shirt with white shorts and matching pink flats. She carried a trash can in the July 29 snaps while running errands.
Conn’s pink theme matched the persona of her Pink Ladies character. However, her signature curly red (and sometimes pink) hair and bright red lipstick were missing.
