Have you ever seen Millie Bobby Brown currently? Chances are high, the reply is sure.
The 21-year-old actor has been hitting the press circuit laborious, making stops at morning reveals, late-night reveals, podcasts, and panels to advertise her newest Netflix flick, the 90s-set journey movie The Electrical State.
As all celeb girls effectively know, with a spate of public appearances and photograph opps comes unwarranted criticism and drained opinions. Brown, who started her profession as a baby star on Stranger Issues, isn’t any exception, after all. Over the previous few weeks she has been picked aside by “followers” and the media alike for “ageing poorly.”
“Disillusioned folks can’t deal with seeing a woman develop into a lady on her phrases, not theirs,” she wrote of the discourse on Instagram final week. Throughout her March 11 look on the Name Her Daddy podcast, she elaborated, saying: “A factor that I get so much is like, ‘Oh my God, she seems like 40.’”
She continues: “And I’m like, ‘Properly yeah, you probably did meet me once I was 10’…I’m 21, it’s been 10 years. She grows. My face like, grew. What would you like me to do about that?”
It’s not simply her seems, nonetheless, that folks appear to have taken situation with. Her fashion has additionally been the topic of relentless chatter on-line, with haters latching onto the weak suggestion that she ought to “costume her age” – no matter which means.
Within the feedback of her Instagram in addition to on different vogue accounts, I’ve seen well-meaning critics not directly come for her style by way of assaults on her stylist or her glam staff. “Lady wants a brand new stylist asap” reads one remark beneath a photograph of the star sporting an Annie’s Ibiza hooded costume on the 2025 Brit Awards. One other, this one shared beneath a photograph of the actor’s latest Tamara Ralph couture look, stated: “She wants to fireplace her glam staff.”
All are lacking one essential level: Millie Bobby Brown isn’t going to put on something that Millie Bobby Brown doesn’t need to put on. Blaming her staff removes her company. As she’s stated many times, she’s not a baby—she is a lady with energy, means, and entry. Isn’t that each fashion-obsessed individual’s dream?
Brown, like every 21-year-old, is experimenting along with her fashion. For proof, simply take a look at her latest transformation from mousy brunette to bombshell blonde. She appears to be significantly preoccupied with Pamela Anderson’s 90s fashion currently, and even had the privilege of raiding the Baywatch star’s archive for her method-dressing press tour.
“The Electrical State relies within the 90s,” she defined to Name Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper. “So I used to be like, ‘I need all the things I put on on this press tour to be 90s archive. So I used to be like, ‘Who’re the most important blondes within the 90s?’”
After the 2 related by way of a mutual pal, Anderson “pulled me an entire rack of garments that have been simply unbelievable,” Brown stated.
