Why Millie Bobby Brown Skipped 2024 Met Gala


Millie Bobby Brown ended up not making her Met Gala debut this evening. While she spent time in New York City in late April, her absence from the event isn’t too surprising, as she has been filming Stranger Things’ final season away from the city.

This has been a big year for Brown in the fashion space, as the actress expanded her Florence by Mills line into clothing at the beginning of 2024. She spoke to ELLE.com in January about how her own experience dressing for red carpets led to the decision.

“[When Stranger Things took off,] I was 10,” she said. “I was going to these events and ceremonies, and all these big fashion brands wanted to style me. I didn’t know what my personal style was, and the only time I got dressed, other than for ceremonies, was to go to work. As I got older, I was like, ‘What is my personal style?’ A lot of my friends already knew [their styles], but I didn’t know mine. For me, fashion has always been ever-evolving. It’s fluid, and I wanted to create something so that girls going through that similar experience have a resource to be able to try innovative new outfits and styles and phases. I wanted to be able to create something that was accessible to my generation, to my demographic so that when they go into a store, they feel like they have that one corner—even if it’s a corner in the back—that they have what they’re looking for, and they’re able to afford it.”
