Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi has made a handful of red carpet appearances since retiring her signature brunette locks in favour of bright blonde.
Her latest appearance was at the Brit Awards red carpet, where the 21-year-old actor wore a vintage 1920s Egyptian long cowl-neck gown sourced from London-based vintage dealer Annie’s Ibiza.
Brown had her hair in loose waves under a matching metallic hood.
The actor has made a number of red carpet appearances alongside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, since turning blonde.
At premieres of her new Netflix film, The Electric State, which is based on a Swedish comic book of the same name set in an alternate version of the 1990s, Brown has showcased a smorgasbord of red carpet looks as a blonde bombshell.
At the Madrid premiere of The Electric State she wore a vintage Giorgio Armani dress, previously worn by Gwyneth Paltrow for the 1998 Shakespeare In Love premiere.
The Stranger Things star channelled old-school glamour in the sheer column dress, her hair styled in sweeping Hollywood curls, and the embroidered gown was paired with a navy silk wrap.
Brown originally debuted her new tresses at the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet in Los Angeles last Sunday, wearing a custom Louis Vuitton peach silk gown and diamond earrings.
Her statement blonde shade is inspired by Nineties bombshells including Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson.
“Millie has been blonde before, but this time we really wanted to lean into those iconic Nineties blondes for her,” explains Millie Bobby Brown’s hairstylist, Pete Burkill.
“Blonde always makes a statement, but this particular shade and style really amplify that bold, confident energy.”
Burkill suggests Brown’s colour transformation is leaning into a new trend for high-maintenance hairstyles.
“It’s exciting to see people embracing more high-maintenance hair looks again,” he says. “For the past decade, especially post-Covid, low-maintenance styles like balayage have dominated, which, while beautiful, meant fewer salon visits.
“Now, there’s a shift toward these ‘power blondes’ and the versatility that comes with them.”
At the LA premiere of The Electric State, Brown channelled full Pamela Anderson in a piled-up bun and another Annie’s Ibiza gown.
Only just debuting on the London Fashion Week runways a week earlier, Brown stepped out in a gold embellished gown with a matching beaded bolero, inspired by the women of the Renaissance including Joan of Arc.
“My love for Leonardo da Vinci’s tireless pursuit of perfection and limitless imagination served as a guiding light throughout this collection,” says Annie Doble, founder of the London-based label Annie’s Ibiza.
Annie’s Ibiza has quickly becoming a go-to for A-listers seeking unique, scene-stealing pieces, worn by the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift and Kate and Lila Moss.
Brown’s red carpet looks have leant into a warmer colour palette since turning blonde, wearing peaches and golds that steer away from the cooler whites and silvers she wore as a brunette.
With awards season still in full swing, we can’t wait to see what else Brown has up her sleeve.
