Millie Bobby Brown Responds to Critics Over Appearance on Instagram

Millie Bobby Brown has fired back at online critics who made harsh comments about her appearance after she posted a new mirror selfie on Instagram.

The 20-year-old Stranger Things star shared the photo on December 30, where she posed with a white Louis Vuitton bag, wearing a white and pink floral dress. Some followers took to the comments, accusing her of "looking old" and even claiming she looked "35" or like a "40-year-old Jersey housewife."

Brown swiftly responded to the criticism on her Instagram Story. "Women grow!! Not sorry about it," she wrote, adding a smiley face emoji.

In the selfie, Brown referred to her purse as “my mini,” while tagging the Louis Vuitton account. The post came shortly after she shared a heartfelt tribute to Stranger Things, marking the completion of filming for the show's fifth and final season. The tribute included a series of throwback photos and a touching video of her farewell speech to the cast and crew, where she expressed her love for the series and the bonds formed with her co-stars.

In addition to her Stranger Things milestone, Brown has had another major life event. In October, she revealed that she married Jake Bongiovi in a secret Italian ceremony at Villa Cetinale in May 2024. The couple shared stunning photos from their wedding, where Brown wore a custom white lace gown, and Bongiovi donned a classic tuxedo.

As she continues to rise in her career and personal life, Brown’s response to criticism shows her confidence in embracing change and growth, both on-screen and off.
