My Two Dads Star Staci Keanan Is Stunning Decades After Her '80s Heyday
Decades after the end of "My Two Dads" in 1990, Staci Keanan, who played Nicole Bradford, looks absolutely stunning. The actor starred alongside Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan in the NBC sitcom, which started in 1987 and ran for three seasons. Keanan was 12 years old when she first appeared on the show, and her adorable precociousness made her a standout among the cast. Years later, Keanan attended the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in 2024 at age 49, and it's amazing to see what a beautiful woman she grew up to be. Though her hair was now platinum blond, her warm smile and delicate features still gave us a hint of the girl we remember from "My Two Dads."

The star's hair was styled in a half-up, half-down fashion similar to the way she wore it on "My Two Dads." But it seems she's developed an edgier style over the years. For the winter event, Keanan brought an '80s trend into her 2026 outfit, mixing romantic and rock elements for an eye-catching look. The actor wore bold, dark eyeliner and mascara, adding an intensity to her eyes that was then softened by a light pink blush, matching lipstick, and clear-framed glasses. As far as attire, Keanan opted for a black dress and a (presumably) faux tiger-print coat.
Staci Keanan was told a trending '90s fashion item made her 'look old'
A year after "My Two Dads" ended, Keanan landed a role on the 1991 ABC sitcom "Step by Step." Though she was just 16 when the show started, the actor received surprising criticism about looking too mature in one of her on-screen outfits. In a season 4 episode, Keanan wore a blue-and-green patterned Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress — an eternally popular style, and the type of dress every woman should own. Despite its trendiness, the higher-ups didn't love the look when the episode aired, and ABC banned the 'fit from Keanan's on-set wardrobe.
Keanan says that producers weren't happy with the dress because they felt it aged her character, Dana Foster. "It made me look old. They said she looks like a secretary working for some major corporation or something," she recalled during an episode of the "Keanan and Lakin Give You Déjà Vu" podcast. "It does not look like a college student in Port Washington." The bixie cut (one of the most iconic hairstyles of the '90s) she paired with the dress may also have aided in maturing her overall look.
