It's been a long time since you posted, but I'll hazard a guess on this. Mrs. Stone changed her style as their relationship progressed. In the beginning, she was more natural and dressed more simply. Towards the end of the relationship, she was dressing much flashier, changed her hair, and was wearing thicker makeup. By that time, he was treating her badly. After Paolo wiped his finger across her eye makeup, he seemed disgusted. I think the next scene when they make love, he says "Let me take off my grandmother's locket," another act of disrespect. Because she enjoyed and craved his physical attention, she had become one of the "wolves."
