Astrid From How To Train Your Dragon Is Gorgeous In Real Life

The live-action adaptation of "How to Train Your Dragon" has impressed audiences with its realistic graphics and heartfelt story. The movie takes place in ancient times and tells the tale of a young boy, Hiccup, who becomes friends with a lovable dragon named Toothless. But Hiccup isn't the only character that audiences can't get enough of. It's his love interest Astrid that has people turning heads. And that could be because she is the daughter of a famous actor.

Astrid is played by Nico Parker. Her feature-film debut was back in 2019 when she starred in the live-action adaptation of Disney's "Dumbo." The actor is the daughter of "Westworld" star Thandie Newton. The resemblance is obvious as both mother and daughter have glowing skin and piercing eyes. Unlike her mom, Parker often wears her hair naturally to show off her voluminous tight curls. But when it comes to fashion, the young starlet has clearly inherited her parent's famous style.

In 2024, Parker told Harper's Bazaar how she used to envy her mother's couture style. "Any Chanel bag that my mom owned was the most important thing in the house," she remembered. "I did a lot of stealing those! And I would do fashion shows in her room with her bags and her shoes — a lot of which was Chanel." And as she grows into a young woman, it's clear that Parker's love of high fashion is as present as ever!

Nico Parker is the latest celebrity kid that has the potential to be a fashion icon. She is not timid with her style, and wears highly glamorous outfits effortlessly. Sadly, Parker was subject to criticism for playing Astrid in "How to Train Your Dragon." She wore her natural curly hair for the role, which differed from the character's look of blond hair and blue eyes in the 2010 animated film. But Parker remained comfortable and confident in her appearance by not paying attention to her critics. She told The Times of London, "If I wouldn't value your opinion on most things in life, I can't value your opinion on my hair."

Parker often opts for dark eyeliner and black ensembles, but she also likes to show off her feminine side. For the red-carpet premiere of "How to Train Your Dragon," Parker wore a lovely light-pink dress with bows down the bodice. The sleeveless dress had a layered skirt of textured materials like frills and ruffles. This harkens back to Parker's first red-carpet premiere in 2019 for the movie "Dumbo." She was just 14 at the time, and wore a dark-green velvet minidress that had an intriguing cape. The outfit proved that capes aren't just for the runway and can be styled for the everyday. Across her waist, Parker looked youthful and cute as she wore a big pink bow as an accessory. We love that she's still including graceful bows in her wardrobe.
