Stranger Things has officially wrapped up its long run, but Sadie Sink has still been making the press rounds to promote the finale episode released at the end of 2025.
Her red carpet looks usually steal the spotlight, so I really enjoyed seeing her switch things up and go casual this time. These recent looks felt comfy, natural, and much more relatable!
💫 Jump to a Look:
She was spotted outside The Kelly Clarkson Show and Live with Kelly and Mark studios, greeting fans in casual jeans on both occasions. The base of each outfit was simple, but what stood out to me was how she elevated everyday pieces with smart outerwear and strong footwear.

Archival Edge: Frankie Shop Leather Trench & Dolce & Gabbana Safety-Pin Pumps
Outside The Kelly Clarkson Show, Sadie was spotted in a white round-neck tee and straight-leg jeans. It’s one of those combinations you can never really go wrong with—simple, classic, and effortless.
What made it feel current was the fit. The jeans had a relaxed, straight silhouette that skimmed her legs without looking oversized, and the blue color kept things fresh and polished.
Sadie layered the look with the $696 black faux leather “Tina” trench from The Frankie Shop. Surprisingly, despite her petite frame, she wasn’t overwhelmed by the oversized fit.
The coat’s shiny finish, sculpted lapels, and padded shoulders brought the ensemble together, giving it structure and attitude.

Sink skipped jewelry entirely to keep the focus on her outfit’s silhouette and textures. Her long red hair, with a wispy fringe, was loose in soft waves, while her makeup remained minimal, with soft pink blush and lips.
Her Prada triangle-logo leather tote added another strong element to the look. Oversized, glossy, and practical, it gave the outfit a real, off-duty vibe. You can get this Prada bag for $4,000 at Farfetch.
Her shoes changed everything. Sadie wore archival Dolce & Gabbana slingback pumps from Spring 2001, finished with safety pin details at the ruched toes. The high heels gave the outfit more polish, adding height and a bit of edge to an otherwise casual look.

The previous day, outside Live with Kelly and Mark studios, Sadie leaned into the same formula but added pops of color.
She wore a red striped tee paired with dark blue wide-leg jeans. I especially loved the jeans’ wide, cuffed hem, which gave them a relaxed, vintage feel. The deep blue denim kept the look clean, while the loose shape added comfort and style.

Casual With a Kick: Wide-Leg Denim & Red Prada Triangle Slingback Pumps
Outside the studio, Sadie layered on a black wool coat, adding structure and polish while balancing the casual pieces underneath.
She carried a black-and-pink Miu Miu tote for a playful pop, and hid her eyes behind black acetate Prada cat-eye sunglasses with metal detailing and grey lenses, which gave the outfit a cool, confident edge. Her sunnies are on sale for $563 (from $601) at Farfetch.
Sink finished her look with red Prada triangle-logo slingback pumps. The pop of red against the deep blue denim was striking. They were made from textured leather and featured a 3D triangle logo at the front, sharp pointed toes, and slim slingback straps that kept the silhouette clean. The 3-inch varnished heels gave her just enough height, striking a nice balance between polished and wearable.
These red Prada triangle-logo leather slingback pumps instantly elevated Sadie’s rather casual outfit! You can get them for $1,200 at Farfetch.
