Being born to famous parents is one thing, but being born to stylish famous parents is the equivalent to winning the scion lottery. As the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, it’s no wonder Maya Hawke has found her way into the spotlight as a top-billed actress, starring in everything from Stranger Things to Wes Anderson’s latest, Asteroid City. Hawke has been working hard to prove her worth outside of her parents since she broke out in 2017 when she portrayed Jo in the BBC adaption of Little Women. Since then, she’s landed a steady stream of roles in high profile projects. But she didn’t just inherit acting prowess, but also a sense of style from her ‘90s fashion icon mother. Over the past few years in the spotlight, Hawke has been experimenting with different looks to try to find her own style. She had a Dior ballgown moment, and a suiting surge, but it seems she’s landed on a vintage aesthetic, and a relationship with Prada has helped Hawke create some eye catching looks for her recent appearances. The actress is just barely 25, so she’ll likely continue to explore her style as she gets older, but it’s clear she has a perspetive worth keeping an eye on.
