Yes, though none of them was a choice she made - and it's mostly related to her hair. Alun had her hair forcefully cut short for the entirety of her time in the Steppes, it was kept that way both as a punishment and as a way of making a point, and denying her autonomy over herself. Her hair remained like that up until she left the place properly, and she never really cut it since then besides an occasional trim, but no haircuts or anything of the sort.
Alun doesn't have any tattoos, piercings, or intentional body changes - she would only do any of those if ushered by someone else, either over the temptation of trying something new or simply engaging in the act with whoever would push her towards it. Though she would likely do it without thinking twice, engaging in something for the 'enhancement' of her appearance on her own behalf and without 'purpose' is extremely difficult as she doesn't have that kind of affection for her own body.
The wardrobe is also another thing that took a while for it to grow into something that reflected more of her tastes, for many years after she left the Steppes, all of her clothing were things given or chosen by other people, often the ones that had a leader-figure in her life at the time.
I'd say her current tastes are an amalgam of everyone that came before, leaning into the things she liked in appearance and the things she found practical.
