New York, May 5, 2025 — chaos and couture collided on the Met Gala blue carpet, and two familiar Hawkins residents teleported straight from the Upside Down to Uptown. Sort of.
Sadie Sink and Maya Hawke — yes, your favorite redhead menace and emotionally-sarcastic alt queen from Stranger Things — rolled up to the 2025 Met Gala serving face, fashion, and full-on Prada power moves. Did they plan this? Are they telepathically synced? Are they starting a Prada-based girl group? Stay tuned.
Same Designer, Wildly Different Vibes
Sadie was clearly in her Witch of the Upper East Side era, rocking a custom Prada gown that screamed “I just did a séance in Central Park and summoned drama.” With a long train, enough lace to trap a Victorian ghost, and the kind of moody elegance that says “John Proctor is the Villain — and I slayed him” (because she literally stars in that Broadway play right now), Sadie wasn’t just at the Met — she manifested it.
Meanwhile, Maya Hawke showed up in a pink dress and a nude cape like a pastel angel who just floated down from a Wes Anderson film set. Arms spread wide, smiling like she just saw a dog in a tuxedo (which, at the Met, she might’ve), Maya gave us whimsical, airy, and just a touch of “I brunch in the clouds.”
Prada Girls, Activate!
Let’s be real: dressing in the same designer to the biggest fashion event of the year is either a bold flex or a telepathic stunt. Either way, Prada clearly won the “Best Dressed Besties” sweepstakes. Are we imagining a Stranger Things spin-off where Max and Robin open a luxury fashion boutique in the multiverse? Yes. Is Netflix already typing up the pitch? Hopefully.
This Year’s Theme: Tailored for YOU (and YOU, and Also You)
This year’s Met Gala theme was all about menswear, tailoring, and the chic art of looking like you could either slay a runway or sell someone a very expensive apartment. Titled “Tailored for You,” the dress code paid homage to Black style and dandyism, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s iconic book Slaves to Fashion — which, contrary to popular belief, is not about my closet before payday.
With a lineup of six celeb co-chairs and a host committee longer than your Uber Eats order on a Sunday night, the Met Gala 2025 came prepared to serve looks, history, and a whole lot of custom suits.
Sadie and Maya in Prada? 11/10. Telepathic twins with taste. Prada, call them. Or better yet, let’s just rename the whole event The Met Gala: Stranger Drip Edition.
