‘Stranger Things’ star Sadie Sink’s best Prada moments
Sadie Sink is best known for her role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, a performance that placed her firmly in the centre of one of streaming’s most recognisable ensembles. Before that, she appeared on Broadway in Annie and The Audience, and later expanded her profile with film work that includes The Whale. Her signature red hair has become part of her visual identity on carpets, where she often leans into clean shapes and unfussy styling. Among the fashion houses she returns to, Prada has been a frequent choice. The partnership has produced a set of looks that sit comfortably within her public image, emphasising proportion, texture and a straightforward approach to eveningwear.

A two-piece moment at the ‘Stranger Things 5’ world premiere
At the Los Angeles premiere of Stranger Things 5, Sadie Sink wore a white Prada two-piece: an embellished bralette paired with a silk column skirt that left the torso exposed and the silhouette elongated. The set read as formalwear pared down to essentials, the embroidery adding craft without ornament.

Tony-nominated in an embellished gown
On the Tony Awards red carpet, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for her stage work in John Proctor Is the Villain, Sadie Sink appeared in a Prada gown with crystal embellishment and a bow detail at the waist. The dress was noted for its vintage reference points and for the restrained accessories that allowed the gown’s construction to register on camera.
Lacy drama at her first Met Gala
For her first Met Gala this year, Sadie chose a black Prada gown with a Chantilly lace capelet and a tec satin base. The look was built around transparency and tailoring, interpreted through delicate lace rather than overt structure, and was cited by coverage of the event as a fitting response to the evening’s theme. Here, the lace overlay is the defining detail rather than excessive embellishment.
Sheer punk at the ‘O’Dessa’ premiere
At the SXSW premiere of O’Dessa, she arrived in an organza Prada dress noted for its layered translucency and slight punk edge. The fabric’s lightness and the minimal styling created a contrast with more heavily made red-carpet choices she has worn elsewhere, signalling a willingness to shift tone with the project she was promoting.
Logo bandeau at the ‘Fear Street’ press in Los Angeles
Earlier in her career, Sadie Sink opted for a total Prada look at the Fear Street premiere in Los Angeles, consisting of a black Re-Nylon triangle-logo bandeau, high-waisted cotton trousers and low loafers. The outfit read as an exercise in branding treated like tailoring: familiar Prada codes used in a straightforward way for press and photocall duties. For this look, Sink chose to keep accessories minimal.

At the UK screening of Stranger Things 5 in the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, Sadie Sink wore a canary-yellow Prada dress featuring subtle cut-outs at the waist. The bright colour stood out on the red carpet while the tailored cut maintained a sense of structure, showing how she balances statement pieces with clean lines.
Across these appearances, Sadie Sink leans on a familiar set of details, from clean proportions to light touches of transparency and controlled embellishment. The result is a group of looks that reads consistent without feeling repetitive. Together, they show how Prada’s shapes and materials can shift to suit different events while still keeping the house’s recognisable structure intact.
