Event Details

Stranger Things actor Joe Keery recently grabbed attention by officiating his friends Matt Williams and Veronica Capaldi's wedding in Simi Valley, California, on October 25. He appeared in Steve Harrington's iconic Scoops Ahoy sailor uniform from season three. The couple chose a Halloween theme, prompting the fun costume choice.

Keery's Explanation

During his Thursday appearance on The Tonight Show, Keery shared that Veronica suggested he dress as Steve for the costume wedding. He borrowed the authentic outfit from costume designer Amy Parris, noting there are multiples available. Keery stressed everyone at the event wore costumes, including bandmate Wes Ledo as a character and others like Shrek.

“Veronica suggested, ‘I think it’d be fantastic. It’s a costume wedding. It’s Halloween. You should go as [Steve].’”

Costume Notes

The Scoops Ahoy look, where Steve worked at an ice cream shop and teamed up with Robin Buckley to crack Russian codes, felt snugger this time around. Keery quipped the shorts didn't fit the same. The Duffer Brothers once insisted he keep the full ensemble as "a look."
