Millie Bobby Brown confidently paraded her bare-faced beauty after facing criticism from detractors who deemed her appearance "aged" at the Monday premiere of her latest film, "The Electric State." During an Instagram promotion for her brand, Florence By Mills' acne patches, on Friday, the actress from "Stranger Things" openly admitted that she is still on a journey to discover the perfect skincare routine.
"Hey everyone, it's Mills here. I'm not sure if you can tell, but I'm currently experiencing quite a bad breakout," she candidly shared in an unfiltered clip. "I'm 21 years old, and I'm still in the process of figuring out what my skin loves and what it doesn't."
Upon posting the video, numerous fans hailed the "Enola Holmes" star for her honesty and vulnerability. One admirer commented, "Mills, your skin is stunning! It's so sweet of you to showcase your authentic self and normalize something so naturally occurring. Thanks to you, I've become more accepting of my own skin, and the Flo acne patches have been a huge help! I LOVE YOU!" Another added, "Mills, remember, you're incredible and beautiful. Your skin is flawless!" While a third fan remarked, "So pretty, just like always!"
Brown's decision to go makeup-free stemmed from the scrutiny her appearance faced earlier in the week. At the Los Angeles premiere of "Electric State," Brown glamorously strolled the red carpet alongside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, dressed in an exquisite Annie's Ibiza metallic gold and bronze striped embroidered gown, featuring a structured corset top and a flowing train. The ensemble was complemented by a matching bolero jacket adorned with shoulder pads.
The actress from "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" accessorized her look with a gold choker necklace and dazzling diamond earrings from De Beers, while styling her blond hair in a messy updo with bangs cascading down to her eyelashes.
Following the event, cyberbullies questioned whether the British star's attire suited her age. Some even drew comparisons between her and former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson. One critic commented, "If this was worn by someone like Jane Fonda, Jessica Lange, or even Pamela Anderson, it would have been perfection! She's too young for this look, ew." Another wrote, "I literally had to double-check if she had just turned 21 the other day, not 40."
However, Brown fiercely responded to her detractors by posting a screenshot of a British Vogue article with the headline "No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks" to her Instagram Story on Thursday. She simply captioned it, "@britishvogue thank you."
