While the world has been fixated on the end of the Stranger Things saga, it looks like David Harbour is not letting that dim his shine. In a recent post to his Instagram stories, the 48-year-old shared a picture of himself wearing a pink Barbie jacket. He was at the BoxLunch holiday gala to show his support and be anointed as the new ambassador.

He was also given the letterman jacket handed down by the previous ambassador, Simu Liu. After giving his thank you speech, he raised his donation from $100,000 to $200,000 to support Feeding America. While he may have stolen the attention for a while, the spotlight jumped back to focus on Stranger Things with a new update about production.
