Uma Thurman is known for her bold hair transformations, from the sleek black bob in Pulp Fiction to her signature blonde waves. Her daring changes have often been as memorable as her iconic film roles. But in 2017, she surprised many by turning brunette, sporting a soft, wispy cut that was a departure from her usual look. This wasn’t her first time embracing darker hair; in 1998, she rocked a rich auburn shade for her role in The Avengers.
Now, it seems that Uma’s daughter, 26-year-old Maya Hawke, is following her mother’s lead. On Monday, Maya attended the Broadway opening of John Proctor is the Villain at the Booth Theater in Midtown Manhattan, showcasing her own darker hair color. The actress debuted a subtle auburn tint in her hair, styled in a mid-length cut with soft waves. She accessorized her look with a black headband to keep her hair neatly out of her face.
Maya paired her bold new hair color with a brown leather trench coat and a gray midi skirt featuring a ’60s pleated silhouette. The chic outfit was layered over a green knitted jumper and semi-sheer stockings. Completing her stylish ensemble were patent black Prada loafers, adding a touch of high fashion to her look.
Previously, Maya had sported a toasted-almond hair color, a blend of mid-toned blonde with honey and cinnamon brown hues. She caught attention at Milan Fashion Week in February, where she sat front row for Prada’s Spring/Summer 2025 show. She wore straight-leg red pants and a simple black top, paired with a camel-colored leather coat and accessorized with a white handbag.
In February, Maya addressed the topic of nepotism in an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “There are so many people who deserve this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway,” she said. “And I know that me not doing it wouldn’t help anyone.” She also reflected on the two paths she saw when starting her career, one of which involved changing her name and appearance to fit in. Despite the challenges, she said, “It’s a lucky place to be. My relationships with my parents are really honest and positive, and that supersedes anything anyone can say about it.”
As Maya continues to make her mark in the entertainment world, it’s clear that she’s following in her mother’s fashionable footsteps while adding her own personal touch.
