Millie Bobby Brown’s foray into the fashion world all started with her success playing Eleven on Netflix series “Stranger Things.” Brown first proved she’s got serious acting skills, and plenty of red carpet appearances followed. Beginning her relationship with designers like Calvin Klein (she starred in a 2017 campaign at age 12), she also signed with IMG models that same year. Since then, Brown has launched her own beauty line, Florence by Mills, collaborated with Converse, and attended many a Coach runway show to sit front row during Fashion Week. Brown recently announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, and she now wears a large round solitaire diamond engagement ring surrounded by a halo, that is estimated to be anywhere from 3-3.5 carats for the center stone. Olivia Landau, founder and CEO of fine jewelry brand The Clear Cut, values it at $50,000-$100,000.
While a lot of Brown’s off-duty looks veer on the side of ultra-casual, she works with stylist Michelle Kelly to construct her wardrobe for appearances, mostly experimenting with flirty hemlines, colorful embroideries, and avant-garde silhouettes that pack a punch, while still remaining youthful. Her latest share with fans is a dog walking outfit posted to Instagram alongside the caption, “favorite hat.” The distressed design is actually shoppable on Pawtree for $29, and Brown gave it its moment by teaming it with an oversize green graphic tee – worn as a dress – completed with gray socks and slippers for an easy stroll. The 19-year-old star added a blue quilted puffer for a layer of warmth, which did conveniently match her puppy stroller. Finally, with the addition of a gold cutout ring, Brown’s buzzed-about sparkler could be eyed on her left ring finger. The look might have been a far cry from her Giambattista Valli lace engagement party outfit, but it spoke to her personality just the same.
