Millie Bobby Brown has been experimenting with a darker, more sensual press tour glam as she promotes the fifth and final season of Stranger Things—a show we’ve seen the actor grow up on. Last night, she decided to kick things up a notch, articulating new elements of her maturing style lexicon.
The actor and recent new mom took to the Netflix show’s London premiere red carpet in a lingerie-inspired Ashi Studio gown from the fall 2025 couture collection—designs that delight in hourglass silhouettes and a fully loaded arsenal of artisanal savoir faire, all in keeping with M.B.B.’s new era. Styled by Ryan Young, Brown’s strapless dress featured gauzy layers of cream and black tulle over a sculpted bustier with extra-exaggerated hips (calling to mind fashion’s growing obsession with Marie Antoinette and Rococo-era aesthetics) with a sheer, draped material wrapped around her thighs—just about counting as a skirt—that fell into a train. She wore her newly dyed, burgundy red hair in a sleek, half-up half-down style.
The British Vogue cover star’s last few red carpet appearances have leaned into a more gothic, darkly romantic sense of style—also calling to mind the aesthetic Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has crafted through her own promo tour. A reptilian skin-like Ashi Studio gown is what kicked things off for Ortega too.
Earlier this week, Brown enjoyed a more classic style of Hollywood glamour in a plunging, sheer-illusion sparkling gown by Bronx and Banco, which was punctuated with a bow detail and semi-opaque finish. She hit the Los Angeles premiere in a black, feathery custom Rodarte dress, which she wore “funeral of the show,” as she told press on the night.
Brown and Young continue to play around with her style, having spent the last year donning noughties-era archival Hervé Léger and skintight LBDs, quadruple leopard print, and strong, feminine silhouetted gowns. The Millie Bobby Brown fashion playbook continues to expand into a bold, couture-loving sphere. And with the final season of Stranger Things is set to be the most spooky and action-packed yet (the first part drops November 26), expect more daring designs on M.B.B. to follow suit.
