Maya Hawke Paired Leopard With These Two Colors for a Wildly Chic Look

I’ve spent a significant portion of my adult life trying to convince people that leopard print is a neutral. It’s a hill I will gladly die on. But even I have to admit that styling a high-octane animal-print coat can feel like a high-stakes math problem. If you go too dark, it feels heavy; too bright, and you risk looking like you're wearing a cat costume.

However, actress Maya Hawke just cracked the code while promoting the final season of Stranger Things. Her solution? A crisp, unexpected pairing of a super-saturated red sweater and a white midi skirt. The red provides a punchy, modern contrast to the tawny tones of the leopard, while the white skirt acts as a palate cleanser, keeping the look fresh and elevated.

Speaking of Stranger Things icons, Hawke isn't the only one having a major fashion moment. Her co-star, Finn Wolfhard, recently sat down for our Who What Wear November cover story, where he discussed his evolution from Hawkins teen to modern renaissance man. If the cast’s recent press looks are any indication, we’re in for a very stylish final chapter.
