So, here we are again, watching Millie Bobby Brown dance on the fine line between grown-up glam and—well, something a bit more awkward. The 21-year-old Stranger Things star recently turned heads (and not always for the right reasons) while promoting her Florence by Mills brand, sporting a pink, fuzzy crop top and briefs combo that had fans scratching their heads and dropping comments faster than Mercury can retrograde. Seriously, is Millie accidentally channeling a ‘childlike se*ualization’ vibe that none of us asked for, or is this just a funky throwback to ’80s aesthetics gone sideways? With Venus currently waltzing through sensitive Cancer, maybe we’re all just extra touchy about how youthful icons evolve—or devolve—in the public eye. Regardless, the internet isn’t shy about labeling this promo “embarrassing” and “cringe,” making one wonder: when did marketing become so complicated, and where’s the line between bold and bad taste? Buckle up, because this pink parade is stirring more than just product plugs — it’s lighting up fans’ feeds with debate. LEARN MORE.
Millie Bobby Brown didn’t get a particularly positive response in April as she pranced around in a fuzzy crop top and underpants while promoting her Florence by Mills cosmetics line. Earlier this year, the 21-year-old went all retro girly in a promo for her best-selling brand, strutting around with her hair in pigtails as she looked pretty in pink. Millie, who is best known for her child star status, had fans thinking that she was bringing back “childlike se*ualization,” with the comments also seeing the whole thing called “embarrassing” and “wrong.” Millie’s fans often seem to struggle with the fact that she’s all grown up now, but this crowd seemed adamant that the video wasn’t it.

Scroll for the video. Filmed in a pink-themed room with a comfy couch and visible studio equipment, Millie danced around while in a comfy, fuzzy crop top in baby pink.
Rocking long sleeves as she flaunted her fit figure, the Stranger Things star flashed her abs, going slightly ’80s with her outfit while wearing high-waisted pink briefs over pink stockings. Displaying her toned legs, Millie added ballerina-style heels with ankle ribbons, completing her look with pink hair ties that matched her ensemble.

Blowing bubblegum as she showcased her outfit, Millie sprayed her brand’s hair and body mist, making sure to plug the product. The actress also wore a pendant necklace and earrings to accessorize her look, but it was the vibe more than the outfit that left fans ill at ease.
“BTS with the ultimate soft girl,” Florence by Mills wrote, tagging Millie’s Instagram. Over 700 fans liked a reply reading: “Does anyone else find this embarrassing?” Also popular and gaining a similar number of likes was the fan asking: “I really don’t understand this resurgence of childlike se*ualization bc I’m honestly uncomfortable. The fact that THIS is what is needed to make sales or improve marketing is concerning.”

Meanwhile, over 50 fans agreed when a separate user said: “No. No. Maybe she did not stand behind idea. But it is just wrong. And cringe.”
Millie Bobby Brown was also asked “WTF” she was “wearing,” although fans have mostly warmed to her girly, pastel style as she continues to promote her Florence by Mills Fashion brand, launched in 2024. Millie is also founder of her Florence by Mills Coffee brand.
