This year has proven to be quite eventful for Millie Bobby Brown, the 19-year-old Emmy-nominated actress from “Stranger Things.” Beyond her role as a Gen-Z fashion icon and her recent engagement to Jake Bongiovi, son of Jon Bon Jovi, she can now proudly add “author” to her ever-expanding list of achievements. Today marks the release of her debut novel, “Nineteen Steps.”
While in London this week to promote her book, Millie unveiled a completely unexpected style transformation that seamlessly blends the retro vibes of the ’60s with an understated sense of luxury. Known for her willingness to experiment with her hair, Millie made a bold statement by flaunting brand-new, ultra-thick auburn hair extensions, a look that perfectly embraces the spirit of autumn.
At a book signing event held at Waterstones in Piccadilly on Monday, Millie’s outfit exuded a cool retro-inspired aura. She confidently rocked a tailored leather blazer with padded shoulders, paired with a matching mini skirt, cream suede ankle boots, and a chic Louis Vuitton box bag. Her hair was adorned with a wide chocolate brown elasticated hairband, a fashion choice that would surely earn the approval of style icon Nicola Peltz.
Complementing her ’60s-inspired ensemble, Millie let her hair down in loose, wavy locks with voluminous roots. Her hair extensions cascaded gracefully down to her upper torso. Notably, she had also chosen to dye her hair a rich auburn shade, marking a stark departure from the bright blonde and brown hues she had sported throughout the summer, joining the autumn auburn trend alongside Emily Ratajkowski.
Later that same day, Millie transitioned into an effortlessly chic ecru jumpsuit paired with elegant pointed white pumps, a favorite choice of footwear this summer reminiscent of the Princess of Wales. She replaced her brown headband with a white one, positioned further back in her hair, channeling all the Audrey Hepburn-inspired vibes we could have hoped for.
Millie’s debut novel, “Nineteen Steps,” weaves a poignant narrative of love, longing, and loss, drawing inspiration from her family’s real-life experiences during World War II, as elaborated by her publisher, HarperCollins.
In summary, Millie Bobby Brown is not only making her mark as an accomplished author but also making waves with a remarkable hairstyle transformation that has left us utterly captivated.
