Edit:
Lady Popular decided to change the new Maps Event again on September 15th at 13:40:58. Here is their message:
"Hey, gorgeous players!
We see your discontent with the latest things in the game and we’d like to address it with the following statement.
We know that change is always frustrating and no one likes it, but it’s also essential for improvement. We know the game is not perfect, but we want to make it perfect, so change is necessary.
We’re constantly working to improve the game and we’re trying our best to keep it fresh and interesting for you. In the past, events had a huge discrepancy between the different types and we wanted to make them more balanced, meaning some events will get a bit more expensive, but some will get cheaper.
We feel the redesigned Maps event is fairly balanced compared to it’s predecessor, however we do understand where you’re coming from. We want to make events more engaging and more interesting and we felt that the older version of the Maps wasn’t so. That’s why we added the emerald try timer and removed the purchasing of move packs. The prices are matched to the last Maps events, in terms of emeralds per square opened, though.
Still, we’ve decided to reduce the timer for an Emerald try by half, to just 6 minutes, so now you’ll have a full set of 5 tries every 30 minutes, as opposed to every 60 minutes. The change will be active in all versions at 14:30 CET, so make sure you login to get the most out of the event.
There’s plenty of cool stuff coming to Lady Popular and we don’t mean changing prices. We’ll do our best to communicate our future plans soon and hear what you think about them.
Best regards,
Lady Popular Fashion Arena team"
On September 14th at 15:00 server time, the first new styled Maps event was released (She's an idol)
Some math from a player commenting on YouTube:
OLD MAPS:
1x11 grid (121 squares total), and let's assume we buy 20 moves with 40 emeralds.
121 total grids 20 moves = I will buy the 20 moves 6 times
6 tickets * 40 emeralds = 240 emeralds total to finish a whole grid (if we decide not to use diamonds)
NEW MAPS:
11x11 grid (121 squares total), and let's assume we will only spend emeralds and not use any diamonds.
Every move costs 3 emeralds, so 3 emeralds per move * 121 total squares = 363 emeralds total to finish a whole grid
It is now 1.5 times more expensive (and more time-consuming) to finish a Maps event.

If I have time, I will edit this post to include more information.
I am currently very busy and unsure if I will.
