Season 5 of Stranger Things marks the end of a pop-culture era. For nearly a decade, we’ve watched Millie Bobby Brown grow up on our screens as Eleven — from the shaved-head breakout moment to becoming a global fashion mainstay. So this world premiere in LA wasn’t just another red carpet; it was a farewell to the role that shifted everything.

Her past premieres have been memorable for different reasons — the pink Rodarte dress from Season 3 remains beloved, while the blonde-hair Louis Vuitton moment during Season 4 had many of us… processing. But last night felt intentional. Considered. Closing-chapter energy.
Millie returned to Rodarte for this final premiere, wearing a custom black gown crafted from metallic lace and beaded tulle, trimmed with dramatic feathers sweeping down the bodice and skirt. It carried that theatrical, gothic romance that feels absolutely right for this moment — part villainess, part heroine, part final-boss energy.
I do wish the lining were less visible, giving more of an illusion of transparency, but the effect still lands: dark, textured, cinematic glamour with a wink to the supernatural world her character has inhabited since day one.

Chopard jewels framed the look. And yes — I cannot express how relieved I am that she’s back to her natural brunette hair.
