Actress Millie Bobby Brown kicked off the new year with a bold hair transformation, embracing a fresh era after officially closing the Stranger Things chapter of her career.
The 21-year-old Enola Holmes star debuted her new short bob haircut on the red carpet at the Joy Awards in Saudi Arabia, where she was honored with the Personality of the Year award. Brown dazzled in a silver sequin gown for her arrival and later changed into a feather-adorned ensemble, complementing her natural makeup look with a classic red lip.
Speaking to the press about her look, Brown said, “I feel like old Hollywood tonight. I just cut my hair into a very short bob, so I was like, ‘Okay, the sparklier, the better.’”
During her acceptance speech, the former Eleven actress reflected on the conclusion of her iconic role in Stranger Things and highlighted her new journey into motherhood and creative endeavors. “Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to be in the creative world. Pursuing creativity and becoming an actor at eight years old wasn’t a dream I chased on my own. It was encouraged and supported by my parents, who never doubted me for a second,” she said.
Brown concluded with an inspiring message for young fans: “I’m so honored to have my own unit in my life. My family are my anchor, my husband is my sail, my team are my engine, and my daughter is my North Star. I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without them.”
