Millie Bobby Brown is over people commenting on her new look.
In a post on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Feb. 27, the actress responded to recent chatter that her new blonde hair has made her look significantly older than her 21 years.
Sharing a screenshot of a British Vogue article with the headline, “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks,” the Stranger Things star wrote beneath, “thank you.”
Brown’s response comes after the Internet was flooded with comments about her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix film The Electric State on Feb. 24.
Photos from the evening shared by the Enola Holmes star on Instagram garnered responses including, “Why this makeup and this blonde hair? You’re so cute in your natural version! In the actual pic you’re a 40 year old woman,” and “She looks 45 pretending to be 22,” in the comments section.
For the premiere, Brown, who celebrated turning 21 on Feb. 19, sported an Annie’s Ibiza metallic embroidered gown featuring a corset bodice and dramatic mermaid train, while her blonde locks were pulled up into a bun with her bangs at the forefront.
She was joined by her husband, Jake Bongiovi, who looked smart in a black and white tuxedo and bow tie.
