Millie Bobby Brown, the 21-year-old actress renowned for her role in “Stranger Things,” has publicly responded to recent criticisms regarding her appearance. Following her attendance at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, “The Electric State,” on February 24, 2025, Brown faced comments suggesting she appeared older than her age due to her new platinum blonde hairstyle.
In reaction to these remarks, Brown took to her Instagram Stories on February 27, sharing a screenshot of a British Vogue article titled “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks,” accompanied by her caption, “thank you.”
On March 3, 2025, Brown further addressed the issue by posting a video on her Instagram, expressing her frustration over the public scrutiny of her evolving appearance. She stated, “I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time.” Brown criticized the media’s focus on her physical changes, labeling such coverage as “bullying” and emphasizing her refusal to apologize for maturing and altering her look.
This isn’t the first time Brown has confronted critiques about her appearance. In December 2024, she responded to similar comments by asserting, “Women grow!! Not sorry about it,” highlighting the unrealistic expectations placed on young women in the public eye.
Brown’s candid responses shed light on the broader issue of societal pressures faced by young women, particularly those in the entertainment industry, and underscore the need for a more supportive and understanding environment.
