Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson Make Their Red Carpet Debut at Broadway Premiere
Another day, another celeb moment that has us talking. Maya Hawke, the effortlessly cool star of “Stranger Things,” just made her red carpet debut with her boyfriend, Christian Lee Hutson, at the premiere of “John Proctor Is the Villain.” The couple graced the scene on April 14, supporting their mutual friend and co-star Sadie Sink at New York City’s Booth Theater. Hawke, rocking a chic pleated skirt and a leather trench coat, paired her look with some stylish Prada loafers. Hutson kept it casual in a denim-on-denim ensemble, complete with a brown turtleneck and classic white Converse. Honestly, it’s the kind of vibe you’d expect from a couple who met through their shared passion for music and creativity.
Their love story is kind of a vibe too. Four years ago, they crossed paths in the indie music scene, and now they’re not just a couple but also collaborators. Hutson, known for his indie folk tunes and notable collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers, has teamed up with Hawke on her upcoming album, “Chaos Angel,” which features the single “Missing Out.” In a chat on the Zach Sang Show, Hawke shared her thoughts on dating within the creative community, saying, “It is awesome. I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people, they really know you as a person who has feelings.” That’s some real talk about love and friendship, right?
At the premiere, the couple wasn’t alone. Other “Stranger Things” alumni showed up to support Sink, including Natalia Dyer and Finn Wolfhard, making it a mini cast reunion. Sink, who plays Shelby Holcomb in the play, has been turning heads on Broadway with her impressive performances. This is her third Broadway credit, and she spoke with pride about the show’s authenticity and the way it tackles uncomfortable teenage topics. The play, written by Kimberly Belflower and directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor, dives into the complexities of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” questioning who the real hero is, and let’s just say, it’s not as straightforward as it seems.
As for “Stranger Things,” fans can expect its fifth and final season to drop on Netflix later this year, though an exact date is still under wraps. So, while Hawke and Hutson steal the spotlight on the red carpet, the rest of us will be counting down the days until we dive back into the Upside Down. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
