Millie Bobby Brown claps back at photographer during 'Stranger Things' premiere

Millie Bobby Brown made it clear she doesn’t need red carpet instructions.

During the 21-year-old actress’ appearance at the Stranger Things season 5 premiere in London on she posed in a dramatic Ashi Studio fall 2025 couture look when a photographer called out, “Smile!”

Brown immediately responded, “Smile? You smile!” while pointing toward the photographers before turning away from the cameras and stepping off the carpet. Photos captured her clear frustration as she exited.

For the event, Brown wore a structured black corset layered with flowing black tulle ruched at the hips and extending into a long train. She completed the look with Aldo pumps customized with “011,” a nod to her character on the series.

The London stop marked another appearance in a week full of press events celebrating the show’s final season. At the Los Angeles premiere, she arrived with her husband, Jake Bongiovi.

Bongiovi wore a crimson velvet suit paired with a white shirt and black tie, while Brown chose a fitted black lace Rodarte gown with feather accents, styled with Aldo heels and Chopard jewelry.

She joked to Variety that she picked black “for the funeral of the show,” adding, “This dress kind of embodies the darkness of the show this season. I’m really excited for everyone to see how dark the season gets.”

Inside the event, she switched into a maroon corset with ivory lace trim and a matching mini skirt, posing with Bongiovi.

Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 premieres November 26 on Netflix, followed by Volume 2 on December 25 and the finale on December 31.
