Over the last nine years, Netflix’s “Stranger Things” captivated audiences of all ages for its riveting plot and cast of young actors who grew up in front of our television screens. One of those characters is the quick-witted, smart and humorous younger sister of Lucas Sinclair, Erica Sinclair, portrayed by emerging actress Priah Ferguson.

While “Stranger Things” is wrapping up its five-season run with its series finale on Dec. 31, Ferguson’s acting career continues to wind up. She’s set to star in the upcoming “Samo Lives” — a biopic on Jean-Michel Basquiat — and recently teased her role of Dasha in the 2026 scripted sci-fi podcast Hard Drive, created and written by the Neese brothers [Jason Neese and Jamie Neese].

Fresh off of high school graduation earlier this year, Ferguson evolved her red carpet style with the help of stylist Enrique Melendez, longtime collaborator of Jenna Ortega. At the “Stranger Things” Season Five world premieres in California and London, Melendez styled Ferguson in all-black ensembles by brands Aadnevik and Alisadudaj, respectively. 

Outside of gracing premiere red carpets and working on set, Ferguson said The London West Hollywood Hotel in Beverly Hills is a location that she holds near and dear.

“This hotel holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first places I stayed when my career launched,” she said. “It’s convenient, the people are very thoughtful, and I love the amenities such as the pool and gym. They also have delicious food!”

While traveling, Ferguson said Bric’s Andy Warhol Spinner Hardside Check In suitcase is a must. “Traveling with this piece feels as if I’m merging practicality, style, and art. It’s easy-handle solo and I can immediately spot it in a sea of luggage,” she said.

As WWD Weekend’s December guest editor of Add to Cart, Ferguson shares her eight fashion, beauty and travel essentials she’s adding to her shopping cart this season, from elevated Fendi sunglasses to a plush Victoria’s Secret baby pink robe — perfect for cozying up, and for gifting this winter.
