Eddie Redmayne who did such a fantastic job with the role of Lily, explained that he thinks a lot of men, who are cross dressing for the first time perhaps, go over the top trying to experiment. Much like young girls do, when they go through a phase of glitter, barbie pink and too much of everything.
As they feel more comfortable with dressing as a woman, or if they have a good friend to advise them, maybe they begin to tone it down a little. Still, so long as they are happy with what they see in a mirror I don't suppose it matters.
