Sadie Sink is ready for a new chapter in her life, and what better way to start than with a fresh set of bangs? The Stranger Things star, who has officially bid goodbye to her onscreen character Max Mayfield, debuted some incredibly lovely brand-new bangs before appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
We don’t know what prompted Sink’s venture into bang-world, but we do know that they were cut and styled by Tommy Buckett, who frequently collaborates with the actor and prepared Sink’s hair for the late-night show. Buckett cut Sink’s bangs long and wispy in a curtain style, giving her plenty hair styling options whether she wears them pushed to the side or straight across. Sink’s new bangs extend past her brows and mix seamlessly with the rest of her distinctive red hair, which Buckett fashioned in casual, cool waves that flowed over her shoulders.
Molly Dickson, Sink’s stylist, dressed her in a vintage Claude Montana black shirt and trousers, as well as a pair of classic black pumps, for her Tonight Show appearance. Mary Wiles, a makeup artist, created a gentle, fresh look with a peachy-pink blush and rose pink lip combination.
Stranger Things may be over, but Sink has some intriguing projects on the horizon, including a film adaptation of her Broadway comedy John Proctor is the Villain, which she will executive produce. She also has a role in the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day, though specifics have been kept very quiet so far.
