It's the colour of hair, lips, and skin, not the quality of heart and spirit, is it?
Is it not "who's the fairest of them all"? If not okay. If so, open to a lot of interpretation.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That's too bad. I was hoping that it was good because Michael Chabon wrote the script.
Was he high at the time?

Considering the mirror at any point tells the queen it is her, I don't think there's a lot of interpretation for it to mean anything other than superficial looks, unless there's a really low fucking bar set for quality of character.

OK, had a hard time parsing this for a while, but I'm guessing that "here" was supposed to be "her", which makes a lot more sense. And point taken if so.

Man, I don't even have the excuse of alcohol or a soft keyboard for that typo. I just... kept typing, and apparently, I type "here" more often than "her" and just went on autocomplete.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it not "who's the fairest of them all"
Like PMM says, it's the mirror that's talking, but when Snow is wished for, she's wished for by feature ("how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony"). Not by character. The story seems to stick pretty clearly to vaunting the physical, at least at first. True character will out.

Apparently Uta von Ballenstedt was considered quite the looker in her day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Okay, that sounds like pure awesome on a bed of awesome with a dollop of awesome on top.

I wasn't that excited for A Cabin in the Woods after the trailer, but that review made me do clappy hands and bounce up and down!
