Hari Nef’s America: David Lynch, Marlboro 27s, and Big, Big Hair
Hari Nef wears Top, Corset, Skirt, Socks, Ring, and Shoes by Dior.
We pledge our allegiance to Hari Nef, the actor who’s starring in everything worth seeing, from Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie to The Weeknd and Sam Levinson’s HBO sleaze fest, The Idol. And when it comes to the land of the free, she’s a clear-eyed optimist. In Nef’s America, Marlboro 27s, David Lynch, and big, big hair are what’s it. Put her on the Supreme Court, babe.
