Millie Bobby Brown Steals the Show in Daring Ensemble
British actress Millie Bobby Brown made a spectacular appearance at Netflix's Stranger Things FYC Event, held at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 21-year-old star, who gained international fame playing Eleven in the hit series, commanded attention on the red carpet in a breathtaking black sequin gown.
The figure-hugging dress featured a mesh fabric that was almost completely sheer, creating a bold and glamorous look. The gown boasted a very deep plunging neckline and was dramatically finished with an enormous black velvet bow adorned with jewels. Millie accessorised her striking outfit with delicate silver hoop earrings and styled her brown hair in an elegant half-up, half-down arrangement.
Stranger Things Cast Reunites in Style
Millie wasn't alone on the red carpet, as she was joined by several of her co-stars from the popular Netflix series. Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler, looked sophisticated in a black and white ensemble featuring a shoulder-padded wrap blazer worn over tailored trousers and a simple white collared shirt.
Caleb McLaughlin, portraying Lukas Sinclair, opted for a distinctive gold jacquard print blazer with royal detailing, which he paired with a cream satin knot-tie collar shirt and black trousers, completing his look with black and white patent shoes.
Meanwhile, Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers and is Millie's real-life best friend, chose a more relaxed outfit of a pale blue denim country-style shirt with dark denim jeans. Gaten Matarazzo appeared dapper in a cream thin-knit polo-shirt beneath a black blazer and matching trousers, accessorised with chunky black and white trainers and thin spectacles.
Jamie Campbell Bower, who joined the series more recently, made a striking impression in a floor-length black coat worn over a three-piece suit.
Emotional First Look at Final Season Revealed
The glamorous event came as Netflix released the first five minutes of the highly anticipated fifth and final series of Stranger Things, scheduled to premiere later this month. The emotional teaser has already left dedicated fans in tears, offering a glimpse of what promises to be an dramatic conclusion to the beloved sci-fi show.
The opening sequence features a flashback to Will Byers, played by Noah Schnapp, in his garden hideout within the terrifying alternative universe known as the Upside Down. This harrowing scene revisits the character's kidnapping by dark forces during the show's first season, when he was ultimately rescued by his mother Joyce, played by Winona Ryder, and police chief Hopper, portrayed by David Harbour.
In the poignant clip, the young Will sings along to The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go while trying to protect himself from the monsters inhabiting the Upside Down. The tension builds as a frightened Will is awakened by unsettling creaking and cracking noises outside his den, leading to a terrifying confrontation.
The fearsome Demogorgon breaks into Will's sanctuary, forcing the boy to shoot at the monster with a rifle before desperately fleeing for his life. Will climbs high into a tree in an attempt to escape, but the creature quickly catches up with him.
The chilling preview shows Will falling unconscious to the ground before being dragged by the Demogorgon to the series' main villain, Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower. In a menacing declaration, Vecna states over the unconscious boy: 'At long last, we can begin,' before appearing to poison Will by feeding dark matter into his mouth.
Vecna delivers an ominous promise: 'You and I, we are going to do such beautiful things together, William, such beautiful things,' before the preview fades to black, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the full series release on November 26.
