Millie Bobby Brown, at 19 years of age, captivated attendees in a bespoke Louis Vuitton ensemble during the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. On the red carpet event that took place on Tuesday, November 7, she was seen in a sleek black dress that boasted a snug bodice, a sweeping floor-length skirt, and a revealing back. The attire was accentuated with a striking halter neck adorned with silver and gold elements that intertwined with the dress and encircled her neck.
Complementing her attire, Brown chose matching hoop earrings, a bold ring, and her nails were decorated with a three-dimensional black and white pattern with chrome highlights. Her makeup featured a natural palette, including subtle contouring, blush-tinted cheeks, defined eyebrows, understated eyeshadows, voluminous lashes, and lustrous lips. Her dark hair was elegantly coiled into an updo, with delicate strands softly outlining her visage.
Brown was accompanied to the event by her betrothed, Jake Bongiovi, who presented himself dapperly in a black suit jacket, coordinating pants, a crisp white shirt, and shiny formal shoes.
At the ceremony, Brown was celebrated as one of Glamour’s Women of the Year, an honor she shared with other luminaries such as America Ferrera, Halle Bailey, Brooke Shields, and Selma Blair.
In her heartfelt acceptance discourse, Brown reflected on her experiences of maturing under the public gaze, having been cast in the role of Eleven in “Stranger Things” at the tender age of 11. She recounted her initial reticence in interviews, her fear of being misconstrued, and her journey to embracing her true self without concern for public opinion. She emphasized her realization that her authentic self was sufficient and that she had the autonomy to shape her life and the world she inhabits.
Brown’s speech resonated with an empowering message directed at “young girls” globally, urging them to resist being constrained, to reject rejection, to avoid the trap of people-pleasing, and to never allow their brilliance to be tarnished, echoing the wisdom of her Nanny Ruth.
The emotional impact of her words was palpable, as Jake Bongiovi, 21, expressed on Instagram, where he shared images from the event, noting the absence of a “dry eye in the house,” and extending his congratulations.
The couple’s engagement, which occurred in April, was celebrated with a beachside proposal, with Brown and Bongiovi sharing tender snapshots of the moment, accompanied by a caption from Brown that alluded to Taylor Swift’s song “Lover,” signifying her enduring affection.
