Millie Bobby Brown on Florence by Mills, Stranger Things, and Self-Care


What’s the last rabbit hole you went down on Instagram or YouTube?

Probably Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s wedding. I went in such a deep hole, and I could not get out of it. I was like, “What is happening right now?”

You’re stranded on a desert island, what are three products you bring with you?

Well, I mean if it’s a desert island, it’s going to be hot, so definitely moisturizer. Then probably my lip oil and a cleanser, because I could just use the ocean water to wash it off.

What color are you loving on your nails right now?

I haven’t had my nails done for a really long time, but right now, it’s purple.

What’s your favorite getting ready music?

I love Taylor Swift’s new album Lover. “London Boy” is my favorite song ever.

How much time do you spend getting ready normally?

You know, for an event and stuff, it takes maybe an hour and a half. But for everyday, less than five minutes. I just put my moisturizer on. And then at night, when I’m winding down, that takes me about 20 minutes—just cleansing slowly, moisturizing, taking off all my makeup.

Are you strict about taking your makeup off or do you fall asleep in it from time to time?

No, I’m pretty religious about my skin care routine. I wake up, put my moisturizer on, put my Swimming Under The Eyes Gel Pads on, and then go to work. I also like steam my face once a month. Oh! And I do a face mask every Friday night.

I love the little whale eye patches.

That was my idea from day one, and that was really difficult to get the shape right on those.

Why whales?

Because I believe that every animal should be in the wild and be free, and whales especially are such an angelic animal that deserve to be in the ocean. I’ve always had a love for how majestic and beautiful they are, so I wanted to involve them.

What’s your favorite way to take a moment for yourself?

I like to watch TV or YouTube—Friends is always my go-to—or I like to call my friends and hang out with my family. I also like to clean. I know that sounds crazy, but my room, I love a good clean. It feels very therapeutic for me.

Millie Bobby Brown Wore Converse to the 2018 SAG Awards Red Carpet


At just 13 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already built quite the record as a fashion force. The Stranger Things star always hits the mark (and the best-dressed list) on the red carpet with some seriously impressive looks. The 2018 SAG Awards, of course, were no exception—in fact, she may have unlocked a new level with her style, seeing as she rolled up to the ceremony rocking classic Chuck Taylors. We think Eleven would approve.

Brown arrived at the SAG Awards red carpet wearing a ballerina-pink sequined dress from Calvin Klein by Appointment. The designer choice is no surprise—she’s one of Raf Simon’s main muses nowadays)—but the footwear she paired with it was quite unorthodox. The dual nominee (she’s up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor and Best Ensemble in a Drama Series) wore the elegant gown with low-top, white Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.

“Gotta keep it stylish,” Brown told E!’s Giuliana Rancic when questioned about her shoe choice. Had she been walking the red carpet in character, it would’ve been “bitchin’,” as Eleven would say.

Though the high-low visual is striking (and incredibly cool) on the red carpet, it’s not a totally unexpected styling move coming from Brown. She frequently wears Chuck Taylors on Instagram, and starred in a campaign for Converse last fall.

Plus, her on-screen counterpart has been a fan of the classic sneaker since the first season of Stranger Things. Who can forget the white Converse El wore with the now-iconic pink dress, or how she continued to rock them even through her punk makeover in season two? If the sneaker can weather fighting Demogorgons and trips to the Upside Down, we are pretty sure it can handle a red carpet with ease.

Twitter Thinks Millie Bobby Brown Is Young Natalie Portman's Doppelgänger


Millie Bobby Brown is known for her unique look, from the preteen pixie cut she sported after shaving her head for her breakout role in Stranger Things to her designer fashion sense. But recently, as Mashable pointed out, Twitter has discovered Millie actually is fairly similar to another celebrity: a young Natalie Portman. Talk about strange things.

It’s hard to unsee the resemblance once you’ve checked out some of the side-by-sides of Millie and a Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace–era Natalie. But strangely enough, this isn’t the first time the former Queen Amidala has had a celebrity doppelgänger. While on set for the Star Wars prequels, Keira Knightley worked as her double.

The Millie-Natalie connection is so close, though, we’re busy figuring out exactly who Natalie would play in Stranger Things 3. (Eleven’s secret half-sister? A second aunt who’s more open to the idea that she can chat with her mother through lamps?). The resemblance between Millie and Natalie is downright uncanny. As one person succinctly put it, “I NEED ANSWERS.”

Millie Bobby Brown's Take on Shaving Her Head for 'Stranger Things' Is Incredibly Empowering


For most of us, a new job might mean a new wardrobe and first-day haircut; however, actors are often signing on for much bigger changes. Case in point: Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Stranger Things‘ Eleven. Back on the first season of the show, she introduced herself to the audience with a totally shaved head—a bold look, especially for a then-12-year-old. As it turns out, the change marked a big moment for her as well: Brown recently shared a video of getting her head shaved at the start of filming with a caption explaining just what it meant to her.

In the clip, we see her looking a little wary at first—and then incredibly excited once she glimpses the final result. It’s clear the excitement stuck: Brown captioned the video with a message about how shaving her head was actually really empowering—an incredibly self-assured stance for a preteen to have after drastically changing what so many people consider to be an integral part of their identity.

“The day I shaved my head was the most empowering moment of my whole life,” she wrote. “The last strand of hair cut off was the moment my whole face was on show and I couldn’t hide behind my hair like I used to. The only image I had in my head about what I could possibly look like is Charlize Theron in Madmax. As I looked at myself and couldn’t see my old self, I realized that now; I have a job to do and that is to inspire other girls that your image or exterior part is not what I think is important. What I find important is caring, loving and inspiring other girls. Thought to share my thoughts during this life changing moment. ?”

She also alluded to this back in July 2016—right after Stranger Things first premiered. When it came to the decision of whether or not to shave her head, she told Glamour.com, “I thought to help and inspire people that it’s OK to have short hair, and it’s cool. Society tells us nowadays that it’s not cool to have short hair [because] boys have short hair, and girls have long hair—and, you know, I thought, ‘Why not be different and not have the blue eyes, the long blond hair?’… I wanted to also show my dedication to this project because I loved the script. I love my character. Hearing that Winona [Ryder] and such a great cast was involved with this, I thought, ‘I have to do it.'”

For women especially, hair is an external signifier that traditionally reflects both social and cultural norms, as well as even more personal parts of our identity. But going without it seemed to prove one thing for Brown: It’s what’s inside Eleven—and all of us—that empowers us the most.

Millie Bobby Brown Opens Up About Being Deaf in One Ear


At just 13, Millie Bobby Brown is already a bona fide star thanks to her breakout turn as Eleven in the wildly popular Netflix show Stranger Things.” But that shouldn’t be surprising, since Brown decided at age eight that she would be onscreen and did everything in her power to make it happen.

“It was like a bug,” Brown told Variety of her desire to act. “I know this sounds crazy, but once I find something I want to do, nobody’s stopping me. If I don’t know how to sew, and I really had that passion to sew, that’s it, I’m going to sew. That’s also with acting. So here I am.”

But things haven’t always been easy for the actress. She also revealed to Variety she has never taken an acting class in her life or trained to be a singer. But she does both—while also being completely deaf in one of her ears.

She shared with the magazine that she was born with partial loss of hearing in one of her ears, but eventually after years of tubes, her hearing completely faded away on that side. When she’s performing—either acting or singing—she can’t fully hear herself. In the first season of Stranger Things, Brown made use of her other senses when playing Eleven, who didn’t talk much: “You can talk with your face,” she says matter-of-factly. “It’s very easy for someone to say, ‘I’m mad. I’m sad. I’m angry.’ I have to just do it with my face.”

Acting and singing with partial hearing loss could shake a young actress’s confidence, but Brown has never let it affect her. “I just started to sing, and if I sound bad, I don’t care, because I’m just doing what I love,” she said. “You don’t have to be good at singing. You don’t have to be good at dancing or acting. If you like to do it, if you genuinely enjoy doing it, then do it. No one should stop you.”

Emmy Awards 2017 Red Carpet Fashion: Every Single Look, From Millie Bobby Brown to Samantha Bee


It’s been a great year for television, and an even better one for TV star style—and we’re talking both on and off screen.

The latter was very much on display at the 69th Annual Emmy Awards, when our favorite actors—from the stars of Big Little Lies to the cast of This Is Us and every show in between—brought out their best looks to celebrate the cream of the crop of small-screen entertainment. From Millie Bobby Brown’s stunning Calvin Klein by Appointment look to Samantha Bee’s long-sleeved emerald gown, check out all the get-ups from the 2017 Emmys red carpet, ahead.
