StrangerThings' makeup artist Amy L. Forsythe says that Nancy and Robin's academic looks in season 4 were originally supposed to be 'hotter.'
Amy L. Forsythe, one of the lead makeup artists on Stranger Things, says Nancy and Robin's academic disguises almost looked very different. Stranger Things first premiered on Netflix in 2016, and has since grown to become one of the streaming service's flagship series. Having received mass critical acclaim and a slew of awards, including 51 Emmy nominations and seven wins, Stranger Things has gone on to become a huge franchise of its own, with a book series, graphic novels, and games.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY First introduced in Stranger Things season 3, Robin Buckley was quick to become a fan-favorite character for her quirky personality. Season 4 saw Robin teaming up with Nancy Wheeler , in a partnership that was eagerly awaited by fans. Though their dynamic got off to a rocky start, with Nancy's no-nonsense personality clashing with Robin's more clumsy, eager one, the pair had some impressive scenes throughout Stranger Things season 4.
"Natalia, Maya, Devin, and I played around a lot. We were trying to find what these girls would do when they're trying to age up. So it was scripted that they were hotter, I guess. But then that version went away and it became more academic." Stranger Things' Forsythe also says that, while they wanted Nancy and Robin to look older, it was important that they didn't look "modern and who they are on Instagram." While one might wonder what those alternate undercover costumes might've looked like, it is safe to say that Stranger Things went in the right direction. The main goal was to make Nancy and Robin look more mature, and that was achieved with their academic outfits.
Though the idea of Nancy and Robin needing to appear more mature remained the same, making the girls appear more academic than simply "hotter" certainly shifted the tone of the scene. Rather than being about their looks, Stranger Things season 4 focused on their smarts and wits. Making Nancy and Robin look older by sexualizing them doesn't fit with either characters' personalities, especially given Robin's speech in episode 4 about sexism.
