If you’ve already binge-watched the entirety of Stranger Things season four, then chances are you’re familiar with Natalia Dyer—the actress best known for playing Nancy Wheeler in the suspenseful Netflix sci-fi horror series. I’ve personally been devouring her retro-cool looks on the show from the very beginning—an eye-catching array of corduroy, shearling jackets, high-waisted jeans, mohair sweaters and retro sneakers—pretty much convincing me to revisit the ’80s preppy looks in my own wardrobe. Of course, I’ve been curious how much Natalia’s style differs off screen.

Luckily, I got the chance to sit down with the Nashville-raised, NYC-dwelling actress, at the launch of Longchamp’s spring/summer 2023 collection. She’s started working closely with the luxury French heritage brand in recent years and has become enamored with its effortlessly chic offerings. At the Santa Monica rooftop where we’re sitting she wears a head-to-toe vibrant poppy-hued Longchamp outfit and their latest Box-Trot handbag in bright pink—quite the contrast from her Nancy Wheeler outfits I’m used to seeing on the show. We chat about her everyday style which always errs on the side of comfort. I think I fall a little more in love with the down-to-earth actress when she tells me she’s been wearing casual Dickies pants almost every day and is a huge fan of Etsy—where she hunts for Victorian-inspired blouses and vintage pieces that are inspiring her at any given moment. 

So what trends is the Stranger Things star excited for this season? From retro sneakers to flowy dresses, keep scrolling for the styles she tells me she’s loving right now.
