IMHO, the whole reason for Luna's make-over in Luna Eclipsed was because she needed to look more like Nightmare Moon. Her fur became darker and she gained an astral mane like NMM and Celestia. In other words, she looked just enough like NMM so that a group of Ponies who only saw her briefly when she broke into the Midsummer Sun celebration would think that's who is standing before them.

Even after the initial confusion lifted and everyone realised that this is the redeemed Princess of the Night, it was clear that a lot of the ponies really wondered how much of NMM's attitudes and behaviour she still had in her.
