It's because Connie was wearing the same dress, and steven always wears the same clothes. You see, at least in theory, fusions only look different if the people/gems fusing look different as well. That's why Garnet looked the same- because Ruby and Saphire both "poofed" and when a gem "poofs" they regenerate into a new form. We don't know what ruby and saphire looked like before when they made the garnet we first met, but they must have looked different. This also explains why Opal had a change in form in "The Return" because the first time we saw her was before Pearl "poofed."

Hope this helped!
