The season 5 premiere of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things” was held on Nov. 6 in Hollywood. Cast members like Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, and Sadie Sink dressed up to kick off the show’s final season and shared their thoughts on their roles, favorite moments, growing up on screen and what the show means to them.

“That is correct. I mean, he has amazing hair, right? So he does not need one,” lead hair designer Sarah Hindsgaul told The Post. Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers in “ Stranger Things .

”Academy Award winner admits fame nearly turned her into an ‘a–hole’Steve began the show as an entitled smarmy popular kid, and Nancy’s boyfriend. He gradually evolved into a more likable person, and unlikely babysitter to the kids, before forming friendships with Dustin and Robin . – but luckily, he was saved by his former rival, Jonathan . He ended the series embracing small town life as the local school coach / sex ed teacher, dating around without settling down yet, and staying in touch with his friends. He was shown visiting Dustin at college, and solidifying his friendship bonds with Nancy, Jonathan, and Robin. “When we started the show, his hair was a lot shorter,” Hindsgaul explained. During Season 1, she recalled, “Joe came to me and he was like, ‘I feel like I need something that is more poppy, like something that is in your face, and that can give me the confidence.’ I think he used the word ‘douchey.’”After they did that, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer told her “We’re not going back,” about Steve’s hair look. “It’s not super ‘80s what we have going on here. But, I think having different characters and having the energy come through the right way is just as important as being completely on the nose with period,” she explained. Steve quickly grew out his hair out after Season 1. “We have different layers of Steve. He starts quite fluffy. We start smaller and then it gets filled up.”“And then from there we kind of go backwards a little bit and it gets more and more texturized and less fluffy to wear.” By the time Steve is a young man in the final season, it’s more “grungy,” since the show is in the late ‘80s and approaching the ‘90s. “The very last time we see him, we bring him back to the early days…..in that kind of Tom Cruise, small time, preppy, popular boy again.” ICE agent who opened fire on Renee Good is a veteran, 'committed' Christian and 'tremendous' father: family 8.9KMargaret Cho reveals mortifying onstage poop horror story that ruined her ‘all-white’ outfit — and her carFinn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers in"Stranger Things."©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett CollectionICE agent who opened fire on Renee Good is a veteran, 'committed' Christian and 'tremendous' father: family
