When he finally reconnects with her in the real-life present, she is dressed in head-to-toe black, symbolizing the aggressive, career-driven nature she has developed since she and Jack were last together.

* AmbitionIsEvil: At the outset, Kate worries that her and Jack's relationship will be irreparably hurt if he takes a one-year banking internship. He tries to convince her that this is good for both of them, and he will never stop loving her. Since they clearly broke up at some point that year, and both of them went on to be wealthy, childless singletons, Kate was in the movie's moral right all along.
