How did Millie Bobby Brown react to ‘age’ criticism?
Millie Bobby Brown has addressed the ongoing remarks about her appearance after debuting a new blonde hairstyle. The 21-year-old actress, who recently debuted platinum blonde hair, became the subject of debate after some social media users claimed her new look made her appear significantly older than her age.
The conversation gained traction following her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of The Electric State on February 24. Dressed in a metallic embroidered gown by Annie’s Ibiza, Brown styled her platinum blonde hair in an elegant updo, per via People. While some praised her look, others flooded social media with comments suggesting that her transformation made her appear decades older.
On February 27, Brown indirectly addressed the criticism by sharing a screenshot of a British Vogue article, titled “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks” on her Instagram Stories. She simply wrote, “Thank you,” under the post, showing her appreciation for the article. Written by beauty editor Morgan Fargo, the piece called out the public’s obsession with women’s appearances. Fargo urged people to focus on Brown’s accomplishments rather than her looks.
Brown’s blonde transformation was first revealed in an Instagram post on February 1 before making its red carpet debut at the 2025 SAG Awards. In her most recent Instagram post, Brown also included a sticker that bluntly stated, “Please stop talking.”
