Introducing the Prettiest Legging Color Trend of 2026, As Worn By Maya Hawke
It's been about a week since season 5 of Stranger Things came out. How are fans of Eleven and company holding up so far? And have you seen Who What Wear's exclusive profile of Finn Wolfhard yet? Naturally, the entire cast looked exceptionally stylish at the various red carpet events to promote the new season, but Maya Hawke's off-duty style also caught my eye.
The actress, who plays Robin Buckley, was photographed today on a casual stroll in New York City with her boyfriend, musician Christian Lee. Even though her outfit was a far cry from the glitz and glamour she's been wearing on the press tour, it was no less chic. Hawke, whose parents are Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, wore a red Moncler puffer jacket over a black turtleneck sweater. Instead of traditional black leggings, which are incredibly classic but not super interesting, she chose a pair in cornflower blue. Even color-shy dressers have to admit that this hue instantly makes leggings look fresh, cool, and elevated. Scroll down to shop similar pairs.
