Caroline might have tripped in a pretty awful way, but I am sure she is good at the core and acted with ultimate good intentions in mind (even if the path to hell is paved with good intentions. That is why pure utilitarianism can take you to dark places). Her beauty or lack thereof has nothing to add to that. And anyway, de gustibus non est disputandum—for me, she is the opposite of not pretty.
I agree with your penultimate sentence, but c’mon, the response to a comment about SBF / Caroline being ugly inside and out shouldn’t be “actually I think she’s pretty”...
There are people who are beautiful inside and out, and there are those who are ugly outside and in. SBF & Caroline Ellison Is a good example.

More generally, I would not agree with the idea that evil is ugly and good is beautiful (at least personally.)
