Rarity is one of the characters that has done a lot of evolving since the first season. It's true that she still conducts herself with a sense of decorum and style, but she is a lot less haughty than she was initially. In the beginning I might have dared say she was a bit condescending at times, but I think today's Rarity is much more well adjusted and able to genuinely relate to her friends on their level. I think this is the change you are sensing. As the bearer of the Element of Generosity, she is now more attuned to the needs of others and places those needs ahead of her own... most of the time.
