Maya Hawke Wore Prada Promoting ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5
Maya Hawke was firmly in the spotlight this week as she promoted Stranger Things season 5, with the cast officially closing out the year ahead of the show’s final chapter. And, as expected, Maya stayed loyal to Prada — though “predictable” has never been part of that equation.
If you’re looking for safe, streamlined, or easily digestible fashion, Maya is not your girl.

I’ll be honest: I don’t quite understand the construction of this Prada dress. It’s the simplest design the actress has worn from the house, yet it feels undecided — caught somewhere between an empire waist and a babydoll silhouette, never fully committing to either. In almost any other context, I’d be baffled, but on a press tour titled Stranger Things, the oddity tracks. What does work is the finishing touch: the leopard-print headband, a pure Maya-ism that grounds the look in her personal style language.

Her next outing leaned further into animal print with a Prada leopard coat, but the more interesting conversation sits underneath. A burgundy cashmere sweater paired with a white pleated skirt isn’t an obvious match, yet Maya thrives on these unexpected combinations. Prada pumps and a Prada Petit Sac Noir bag tied it together with intention.

And then there was this. “Thrown together” feels like the only honest description of this Prada Spring 2026 ensemble. At first glance, it looks like she’s wearing a backpack on the red carpet — except those black lines are part of the cardigan itself. This is the crux of Maya Hawke’s fashion appeal: you have to sit with the look before it reveals itself, if it ever does.
I kind of admire that freedom. She dresses entirely for herself, without chasing approval or perfection. None of these will be landing on my BDOTY list, but that’s not the point. Maya Hawke isn’t here to conform — and Prada is more than happy to meet her there.
