Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is again showing that she’s not easily fazed by internet trolls. Following her debut of a blonde hairdo at the Los Angeles premiere of The Electric State on February 24, the actress was criticized by some social media users. Most trolls stated that her new appearance made her look older than she actually is, with some even implying that her hair gave her the appearance of a “40-something divorcee” or a “grandma” type.
Clapping Back with Confidence
As predicted, Millie took the situation in her stride and with a dash of humor. Posting on her Instagram stories on February 27, she posted a screenshot of an article from British Vogue that had the headline, “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks.” Underneath the screenshot, she just wrote, “thank you,” expressing gratitude while sending the haters packing in typical Millie fashion.
Despite the criticism, Millie has always been a trendsetter, and her new blonde look was no exception. The star, who has been a style icon since her Stranger Things days, continues to exude confidence in the face of negativity.
The Electric State and Star-Studded Cast
On the work front, Millie is preparing for the release of her new venture, The Electric State. The sci-fi movie, which releases on Netflix on March 14, 2025, has a star-studded cast consisting of Ke Huy Quan, Chris Pratt, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, and several others. Fans will be able to spot Millie in a new and interesting character in the company of some of Hollywood’s largest stars.
Even in the face of negative comments online, Millie remains brilliant in both her professional work and personal fashion sense, true to herself and unfazed by the insults.
