11 Times Millie Bobby Brown Made Me Wish I Had Cool Teen Style

I’m an adult woman with an adult job, adult rent, and adult problems. Yet, I’m getting all of my fashion inspiration from a 13-year-old girl—then again, Millie Bobby Brown isn’t any old teen.

The Stranger Things star and first-time Emmy Awards nominee has been crushing it on the red carpet and at Fashion Week ever since her Netflix series showed up in our queue. Whereas 13-year-old me thought Bebe was fashun and suffered cologne-induced nosebleeds in the sale section at Abercrombie & Fitch (something shoppers don’t have to deal with anymore), Brown has her pick of top-tier brands like Kenzo, Rodarte, and Valentino—oh, not to mention, she’s one of Raf Simon’s muses at Calvin Klein. She’s also one of a handful of people who could pull off those crazy Topshop plastic window jeans. And apparently other celebrities recognize that Brown is a style star on the rise—just refer to her text exchange with Cara Delevigne for proof.

Brown is expected to roll up to the Emmys this weekend, likely in impeccable fashion, with her Stranger Things costars. Plus, with Season 2 fast approaching (on October 27, people!), we can look forward to more incredible outfits from her (and her stylist, Thomas Carter Phillips) during the promotional tour. In one short year, she’s become one of my favorite celebrities to follow on the red carpet—and her 11 (ha) best outfits, below, prove she should be on your personal Best Dressed list too.

At the Calvin Klein Fall 2017 show

Not bad to have your first New York Fashion Week show be Raf Simons’ debut at Calvin Klein. And to attend wearing jeans, combat boots, and a bomber jacket? Too cool.

And at Calvin Klein, again, for the Spring 2018 show

She returned to NYFW for Calvin Klein’s Spring 2018 just this past week, in an accordion shift dress by Simons. Casual.

At the 2017 MTV VMAs Carpet

Brown made our our Best Dressed list for the 2017 MTV VMAs (obviously) in this Rodarte look.

At the 2017 Teen Choice Awards

Brown wore a Kenzo dress with trendy, made-for-Instagram oval sunglasses, and now we want a Kenzo dress and trendy, made-for-Instagram oval sunglasses.

At a Late-Night Talk Show Appearance

Brown stopped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert back in 2016 wearing a sundress, made cool by a bomber jacket and studded boots.

And Back for a Second Visit

Last month she visited Colbert once again, this time wearing a CG shorts suit and Stuart Weitzman boots.

At the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards

The aforementioned text conversation between Brown and Delevingne was in regards to what to wear to the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards. They landed on a white Calvin Klein number with matching boots. Now that’s what we call a winner.

At the Airport

Yup, even her travel style is more polished than ours. The Converse ambassador paired her timeless low-tops with flared black pants, a cropped denim jacket, and a Gucci backpack.

At the 2017 Golden Globes

Brown isn’t one to shy away from a good sparkle opportunity—like when she paired a beaded Jenny Packham dress with equally embellished Sophia Webster shoes.

At a Screen Actors Guild Event

She may be a Gen Z-er, but Brown is still down with millennial pink.

At the 2016 Emmy Awards

As we gear up for Sunday’s award show, let’s not forget Brown’s first-ever Emmys get-up: a bird-embroidered gown by Red Valentino. So, can we expect another A+ dress from the cool teen on the red carpet this year? Unless we’re all living in the Upside Down, it looks like a yes.
