Max has fiery red, wavy hair that's typically worn loose. It has a bit of volume, characteristic of 80s hairstyles. If your hair is similar, you can use a curling iron to create loose waves. If not, consider investing in a suitable wig with a similar color and style.
Max is seen bonding with Eleven over shopping and typical teenage activities. A shopping bag from "The Gap" or "StarCourt Mall" can be a fun prop to include. She's also seen sipping on a New Coke, which can be another accessory to consider.
As mentioned, a skateboard is one of Max's signature items. If you're going for a mall scene look, carrying 80s-style shopping bags or even an old-school "Tiger Beat" magazine can be fun additions.
Max exudes confidence, a bit of rebelliousness, and is fiercely protective of her friends. She's bold and isn't afraid to speak her mind. To embody Max, stand tall, carry a confident attitude, and if you're with friends, showcase that protective, big-sister vibe, especially if you're around an "Eleven" counterpart.
