Millie Bobby Brown stole the show with her stunning red carpet gown at the world premiere of Stranger Things season 5.
The British actress, 21, rocked an off-the-shoulder sheer lace dress with feathered detailing around the neckline and the hips for the special occasion on Thursday, November 6, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Brown paired the look with dangling Chopard earrings and her hair up in a bun.
The star posed on the red carpet with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, as well as her Stranger Things castmates David Harbour, Sadie Sink, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and more.
Bongiovi — the 23-year-old son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi — also looked fashionable on the red carpet in a red velvet suit as he supported his wife. The couple wed in May 2024 and adopted a baby daughter earlier this year.

Thursday’s red carpet marks the beginning of the end for Stranger Things, which launched Brown to fame when it debuted in 2016. The final season premieres with its first batch of episodes on November 26, followed by further episodes on December 25 and the finale on December 31.
In an October 2023 with Glamour, Brown said she was ready for the show to end after playing telepathic Eleven for nearly 10 years.
“When you’re ready, you’re like, ‘All right, let’s do this. Let’s tackle this last senior year. Let’s get out of here,’” she said of shooting season 5.
“Stranger Things takes up a lot of time to film and it’s preventing me from creating stories that I’m passionate about. So I’m ready to say, ‘Thank you, and goodbye,’” she added.
As well as promoting Stranger Things season 5, Brown has been settling into her new life as a mom.
“It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey — she’s taught us so much already,” the actress told British Vogue in an interview published on Wednesday, November 5. “Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”
“We are 50-50 on everything,” she added of splitting parenting duties with Bongiovi. “That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life — he is just the most amazing dad.”
In the same interview, Brown talked about protecting her daughter’s privacy, revealing that she won’t share the baby’s name publicly until “she’s ready to decide for herself.”
“For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself,” Brown told the outlet. “It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly. If she chooses to share her personality one day with the world, like I did when I was young, that’s something we’d support. But right now, as she’s so little. As her parents, it’s our job to protect her from that.”
The young parents announced they had adopted a baby in a joint Instagram post in August.
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the couple wrote at the time. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”
They concluded the message: “And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
