Nico Parker, the 20-year-old rising star and Lancôme’s youngest global brand ambassador, is captivating audiences not just with her role as Astrid in the live-action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon," but also with her impeccable fashion sense as she promotes the film across major cities.
Since the film’s release on June 13, 2025, Parker has been making waves on the promotional circuit, showcasing a variety of formal and stylish footwear that perfectly complement her chic outfits. From London to New York, her choices range from satin Dolce & Gabbana platforms to shiny purple Loewe pumps and classic pointed-toe heels, reflecting a versatile and polished aesthetic.
At the Tribeca Film Festival premiere on June 11, 2025, Parker exuded timeless elegance in a fitted little black dress by Schiaparelli, featuring a sweetheart neckline and layered bows down the center. She paired this classic look with sleek black pointed-toe satin pumps, a choice that underscored her sophisticated style and matched the dress’s luster flawlessly.
Just hours later in New York City, Parker switched gears to a more playful yet refined look. She stepped out in shiny plum-hued Loewe Toy pumps, known for their round toe and drop stiletto heel, which added a vibrant pop of color to her ensemble. The pumps paired beautifully with her white wide-leg pants, a black sleeveless top with gold hardware, and an earthy green leather jacket from Loewe’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection. This outfit, captured outside NBC Studios ahead of her appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," revealed a fresh, off-duty edge to her style, a departure from the dainty, frothy Chanel looks she is often seen in.
Inside the "Late Night With Seth Meyers" studio on June 10, 2025, Parker embraced a more familiar ultra-feminine aesthetic. She wore a playful black and white polka dot Dolce & Gabbana dress with spaghetti straps and a square neckline. Complementing the dress were white satin platform slingback pumps from Dolce & Gabbana, featuring a delicate black bow strap and a subtly flared block heel. This look perfectly balanced retro glamour with youthful charm, highlighting Parker’s ability to pivot between styles seamlessly.
Earlier, on May 21, 2025, at the grand opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida, Parker was spotted wearing satin white pointed-toe pumps that paired elegantly with a floral dress from Hector Maclean’s spring 2025 collection. The dress itself was a standout, boasting contrasting floral patterns, a cutout below the bust, and a flowing skirt with a high slit, embodying a fresh, springtime vibe that resonated with the excitement of the event.
Back in London on June 3, 2025, Parker attended a screening of "How to Train Your Dragon" at Frameless, where she wore a neutral beige heel with an ultra-sharp toe. This choice perfectly complemented her fall 2025 Zimmermann dress, inspired by the film "Picnic at Hanging Rock." The dress featured creamy lace accents, draped blush-pink satin, a high-low skirt, high neckline, and long sleeves, capturing a romantic yet modern silhouette that suited the occasion.
While Parker’s fashion choices have been turning heads, her on-screen chemistry with co-star Mason Thames, who plays Hiccup, has also been a focal point of the film’s buzz. On June 12, 2025, the duo sat down for a lively interview on "The Group Chat," where they turned the tables and interviewed each other in celebration of the film’s release. Their candid conversation covered everything from their auditions and favorite scenes to celebrity crushes and hidden talents, offering fans a rare glimpse behind the scenes.
In addition, Grae Drake of CBR conducted an in-depth interview with both Parker and Thames, delving into their experiences stepping into such iconic roles. They shared stories of on-set mishaps, magical moments, and even the scars they may or may not have acquired during filming. The interview painted a vivid picture of the camaraderie and dedication that went into bringing the beloved characters of Berk to life.
Parker’s promotional appearances also reveal her growing confidence and versatility as a style icon. As noted by fashion observers, her ability to effortlessly switch between polished red carpet glamour and relaxed, edgy street style is impressive for someone so early in her career. Her look at NBC Studios, featuring a green Loewe leather jacket over a black tank and white wrapped denim jeans, was a particularly striking example of this versatility, showing a more grounded and approachable side of the actress.
Stylist Rebecca Corbin Murray, hair stylist Lacy Redway, and makeup artist Jennifer Luney Tioseco have all contributed to Parker’s evolving look, ensuring that each appearance feels fresh and tailored to the occasion. This collaborative effort has helped Parker not only promote "How to Train Your Dragon" but also establish herself as a fashion-forward presence in the entertainment industry.
As the live-action "How to Train Your Dragon" continues to draw audiences, Nico Parker’s star is undoubtedly on the rise. Her combination of talent, charm, and impeccable style makes her a compelling figure to watch in the coming years. Whether she’s dazzling on the red carpet or sharing laughs with co-stars in candid interviews, Parker embodies the excitement and heart of this much-anticipated film adaptation.
