'Stranger Things' star Finn Wolfhard on fashion: Always having new obsessions with different periods, clothes

'Stranger Things' star Finn Wolfhard discusses his evolving fashion sense, first tuxedo at the Emmys, and wearing Thom Browne to the Met Gala.

"My relationship to it is always changing. I'm always having new obsessions with different periods and different clothes. - Finn Wolfhard"

Los Angeles, May 7

"Stranger Things" star Finn Wolfhard says he goes through different "obsessions" with the influences that shape his wardrobe choices, and he enjoys using clothes to express himself.

The 23-year-old, who shot to fame at the age of 14 playing Mike Wheeler in the show, told Britain's GQ magazine: "My relationship to it is always changing. I'm always having new obsessions with different periods and different clothes."

Wolfhard said that he sees it as a way to "express yourself, not something where you feel buttoned up or like you're wearing something you don't actually want to wear."

Finn recalled wearing a tuxedo for the first time to the Emmy Awards and how it made him realise how much he enjoyed dressing up, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

He said: "The first time I went to the Emmys was unbelievably overwhelming. There are an insane amount of cameras. It's huge - like, physically huge. And when you're young, everything feels even bigger. I remember wearing my first tux at the SAG Awards and being really excited about it. That was kind of the first time I was like, 'OK, this is fun.'"

The actor attended the Met Gala for the first time this week and was happy to wear Thom Browne because he has been a fan of the brand for years, both at events and in his everyday life.

He said: "I've loved their clothes for so many years now. They've been really generous with me in the past. I've worn a lot of their knitwear and a lot of their stuff just in my daily life, and also to promote films.

"They actually dressed me for my band's first tour, so I already had a relationship with the label. I think they probably just saw that I was a fan of the clothes and, yeah, here we are. It's a really beautiful suit. There's patterns that are really interesting, that are super subtle. If you look at a photo of it, you don't really pick it up until your eye kind of catches it."

While Thom Brande is an American band, the style suits Finn's usual taste of "vintage, comfortable, British".

He said: "It's kind of a mishmash of a bunch of things. I just love anything that's sort of British-inspired."

"Vintage, comfortable, British" - that's a very specific aesthetic! Finn strikes me as the kind of guy who'd look great in a well-fitted bandhgala. Though I wonder if his 'obsessions' with different periods is a bit... Gen Z? But hey, at least he's not wearing the same hoodie and jeans like every other guy his age. 👏

It's refreshing to see a young star who actually enjoys fashion rather than treating it as a burden. The Thom Browne love is real - their tailoring is impeccable. Reminds me of how many Indian designers like Sabyasachi or Raghavendra Rathore have such distinctive signatures too. Fashion bridges cultures, no?

I used to think 'fashion' was just about looking good. But reading Finn talking about it as self-expression makes sense. In India, we often dress for occasions - weddings, festivals - but maybe we should also dress for ourselves more. Though I do wish Hollywood interviews would stop romanticizing 'British' style so much. We have our own design heritage! 🇮🇳

Finn going from Stranger Things to talking about Thom Browne at the Met Gala 😂 Love this for him! But I also think there's something genuine about his approach - he's not trying to be trendy, just comfortable and himself. That's the best thing anyone can wear, honestly.

Not gonna lie, this feels like a fluff piece. But at least it's better than those 'who wore it better' articles. Finn seems like a decent kid who enjoys clothes
