The best way to translate your role as a flower child in Quentin Tarantino s summer blockbuster Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the premiere? With a contemporary floral crown, of course. The literal approach was demonstrated by Maya Hawke, who arrived at last night s L.A. screening in an Epona Valley crown bedecked in gilded florets—a beacon of present-tense bohemia.
The 21-year-old actress and daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thuman—who is making headlines for her turn as Robin in season three of Stranger Things—reimagined the film s hippie vibes as an aesthetic wholly red-carpet-worthy, coupling her crown with a coordinated wash of golden glitter on the lids. A smattering of freckles offered the moment an organic quality, as did Hawke s slightly bent, burnished bob and wispy fringe, just long enough to skim her full lashes. Apricot lipstick acted as a soft punctuation, the overall look romantic and summery in its sensibility. Consider this an introduction to what s shaping up to be a sparkling career—elevated by equally eye-catching beauty—from Hawke.
