Okay, I love this. Sadie Sink said grunge but make it fashion, and I’m obsessed.
First, we have to talk about the hair. The Stranger Things actor chopped off her signature red Little Mermaid curls into a blunt shag bob, which we first glimpsed back in May. Now that we have a better look at the do, I’d describe her mullet-adjacent crop as biker babe by way of Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll.
Paparazzi snapped the actor headed to lunch in New York City on August 21, where she paired her new laidback cut with an equally laidback ’fit. Sink wore a pair of baggy-leg and possibly paint-stained overalls over a cropped white tank. The shoes are where the fashion part comes in, because in this pic she’s also wearing the extremely on-trend Miu Miu ballet flats with two buckled straps. She added a matching black crossbody bag and classic sunglasses to complete the ensemble.
The bob, in all its many iterations, is having a major moment right now. While Sadie Sink’s curly shag is one version, Hailey Bieber has helped popularize the It girl messy bob. Simona Tabasco of White Lotus fame, meanwhile, has been at the vanguard of the lightly tousled, flippy bob movement. Before shaving all of her locks into an edgy buzz cut, Florence Pugh was making a strong case for the super-short and sleek bob.
The key, as Sadie Sink is demonstrating here, is to work with the hair you’ve got to create the perfect bob for your lifestyle.
