At the recent Prada Fall/Winter 2023 fashion show, I was attracted by a maverick figure -
24-year-old actress, model and musician Maya Hawke.

Outside the runway, she wore an idyllic shirt with stockings and Mary Jane, lazy and handsome.
It's completely an undefined Prada girl.

Speaking of Maya Hawke, just listening to the name may seem unfamiliar.
But if you've seen three or four seasons of "Stranger Things", you'll definitely have a little impression of Robin, the ice cream sister in it.

With short flaxen hair and smart freckles, he is smart, personal, lively, humorous... As soon as he appeared in the third season, he was one of the show's super popular characters.
Maya has gained a lot of attention with her natural and vivid performance in the play.

While his acting skills were well received, he also unexpectedly found that the origin of this newcomer actor is not ordinary.
Maya's parents are actually Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and many people are completely shocked when they find out!

These two must be familiar to everyone, one is a well-deserved sexy goddess in Hollywood, and the other is an absolute literary male god in the hearts of fans:

Dad Ethan Hawke is probably best known for the classic "Love In" trilogy, which few people have not seen.

And mom Uma Thurman's classic doesn't need too much elaboration.
She is the muse of the ghost director Quentin Tarantino, and the killer black mamba bride in "To Kill Bill":

The scene of "Pulp Fiction" has become an eternal classic, and even if you have not seen the movie, you will not know the extent of this picture.

There is also the famous scene of the forever classic rabbit dance.

Both of them were one of the best in the European and American entertainment circles in terms of appearance and acting skills, and even the love story was a good story in Hollywood.
Although they later separated, the two got along very well with their children.
From Vogue
With a pair of good-looking parents, Maya Hawke also perfectly inherited the genes of her parents, which is like picking the advantages of the two to grow up.
Like her mother Uma Thurman, her delicate and three-dimensional facial features have their own style, but there is a bit of father's melancholy temperament between her eyebrows.

When not smiling, it is slightly cold and distant, and when it laughs, it will be as cordial as the girl next door.

The private clothes always reveal a lazy and unruly tone, which is particularly perfectly integrated with her casual temperament, belonging to a girl who looks very story-like.

Although she was born and debuted with the halo of the second generation of stars, more people still know and like Maya Hawke through her wonderful performance on the screen.
And not just because she's the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
In addition to "Stranger Things", 19-year-old Maya Hawke starred in the 2017 British BBC miniseries "Little Women", playing the role of the heroine Jo March.

But what many people don't know is that Maya Hawke, who has suffered from dyslexia since childhood, actually has difficulty reading long passages of text, which is almost a fatal injury for actors who need to read a lot of scripts.
But she still did not give up what she loved, worked hard to break through herself, fought against herself, and starred in "Little Women", which was both her first performance and her first book to challenge to read.
Although her acting skills are slightly young, Maya Hawke still plays the willful and stubborn and adventurous JO in the original novel.

Later, she also participated in the film "Mainstream" directed by Gia Coppola and "Once Upon a Time in Love" directed by Quentin.
In just four or five years of acting experience, Maya Hawke already has quite versatile and natural acting skills.

Last year, I also watched her new movie "Revenge Girls", Maya Hawke played a female student with a variety of shapes, a black belly and a maverick, and let everyone see another look of her.

In addition to acting, Maya Hawke also has her own unique charm and talent in music creation.
Now he is also a well-known singer-songwriter in European and American circles.
In:maya_hawke
Her music is pure, clear, as streamlined as possible in terms of music production, without reverb and any electronic instruments, only with sounds, lyrics and soothing folk tunes, warm, soft, light...
Listening to her songs, her voice is hoarse but has a long-brewed charm.

In 2020, Maya Hawke released her debut album, Blush, a minimalist collection of folk poetry.
It was she who collaborated with Grammy Award winner Jesse Harris, one lyricist, one composer. Maya Hawke's unique voice with a touch of husky also gives her music a different sense of story.

The song "Coverage" is also loved, based on her experience interpreting different characters in recent years, including Jo in Little Women and the girl on the Manson cult farm in Quentin's Hollywood past.

Her second album "Moss" is more mature, with delicate and sincere words and melodies, singing softly.
The rhythm of this "Sweet Tooth" is relatively soft and light, and the style of the MV is also very fresh.

"Blue Hippo" is also a very light and relaxing song, with a somewhat husky voice, literary and beautiful.

My favorite is the first line "Thérèse".
The title and central idea of the song comes from a painting called "Thérèse Dreaming" by the late Polish-French painter Baltis, which Maya Hawke saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
An 11-year-old girl sits with her eyes closed and her legs on a stool revealing her panties. The model's demeanor and age have caused great controversy in this piece.

Maya Hawke wants to use this song to express her longing to get rid of social pressure, she hopes that everyone can be themselves, dare to dream their own dreams, and do not care about the eyes of others.
On the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show some time ago, Maya Hawke sang the song live, with a light tune, with a faint sense of telling, telling secret stories and rebellions: the adults have gone to sleep, this is Teresa's dream.

Maya Hawke's independent female consciousness is not only in songs, but also in daily life, you can often see her bravely speaking up for women.
Last year, when the abortion bill in the United States was being debated, Maya Hawke boldly opened the microphone, and she was so emotional on the show that she spat out the fragrance: "We will continue to fight to win back our rights, just as our predecessors did."

In addition, Maya Hawke's performance on stage is also quite good.
If you like her songs, I highly recommend watching her live performances.

Unlike her expressiveness in the MV, some of her improvisations on the spot will add a charm to the whole performance.

With fluffy blonde hair and stage costumes, coupled with her dedication, every concert will captivate a large number of fans.

Looking at her Ins, it is not difficult to find that although her parents are divorced, Maya Hawk has always grown up in a loving atmosphere, and she has not lacked anyone's company in the process of growing up.
She loved Taylor Swift and her dad took time to accompany her to concerts.

She will also po Ethan's handsome photo on Ins on her father's birthday, wishing him another handsome year.

I get along with my mother and feel more like a friend.
Will steal her mother's clothes, be coquettish sweetly, and offer a carefully prepared cake on her birthday to give Uma an unforgettable surprise.

Privately, he also gets along with his half-siblings, and holds family concerts from time to time.

"I really love my family," she said. The more independent and free I am, the more interested I am in being a conscientious family member. They support me a lot, we fight, chat, lie, tell the truth, and I really enjoy growing with them."
Freedom, love, independence, it is this family atmosphere that gives Maya Hawke a more casual attitude to face everything in life.
Maya Hawke in the eyes of friends is like a pistachio, and where she is, there is joy.
Looking at Maya Hawke's funny daily dynamics, it will make you think who doesn't love such a girl.
I also hope that this enthusiastic and free girl can always live without restraint, and look forward to Maya Hawke bringing more moving songs and excellent works.
