But it should still be enough to stave of frostbite. She's still wearing a lot of clothing so hypothermia isn't a concern. Humans are bare so even if we're covered enough to prevent us from getting our overall temperature down exposed parts can get so cold that cells start dying. The fur prevents that.
True, but remember that felines, under normal circumstances, have wintercoats in order to maintain their body temperature at a reasonable level. In theory, there must have been some medications that prevent wintercoat growth, since modern architecture easily prevents temperature losses as shown here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39501902/
This is overthinking it;
A winter coat is needed to stave of hypothermia. However hypotermia means the body being incapable of maintaining it's internal body temperature. So it's dependent on the total amount of heat lost across the entire body. Star is still wearing a lot of clothing so her lost body heat is not all that great.
Frostbite is something different. It is a localized area where it get's so cold the cells start dying. After all you only have so many bloodvessels to deliver heat to it so quickly. You can easily have frostbite without having hypothermia at all. Her summer fur is more than enough to prevent frostbite but when completely naked it's not enough to allow her body to maintain her body temperature indefinitely.
Though with quite a few animals including lynxes they don't suffer hypothermia without their winter coat. However the heat lost needs to be replenished and that costs more food. So it's still advantageous for them to have a winter coat since the resources required to make a winter coat is significantly less than the resources needed to maintain correct body temperature with a summer coat.
Frostbite is something most animals and furries don't really suffer from unless it's under very specific conditions. They either have fur to slow down heat loss, have blubber or have skin that's so thick it can't get through quickly enough. Humans are uniquely vulnerable to frostbite since we have no fur, have relatively thin skin and have very little fat on our limbs.
