The hair, makeup and costume department of “I, Tonya” deserves full marks for transforming Margot Robbie into disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding.

The biopic, which looks back at one of the most infamous scandals of the ‘90s, also stars Allison Janney as Harding’s mother, LaVona Fay Golden, and Sebastian Stan as Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, who famously hired a hitman to attack Nancy Kerrigan so she would be unable to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.
