Millie Bobby Brown is so committed to method dressing that she even does it on date night.
Brown, 21, who is on a press tour for her forthcoming film The Electric State, walked the red carpet for a fan screening at The Paris Theatre in New York on Tuesday, March 11. Afterward, she slipped into a sheer black lace vintage dress from the ’90s (that her stylist Ryan Young unearthed from a consignment shop in London) for an evening with her husband Jake Bongiovi, who is the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi.
Brown’s outfit was just the latest in a long line of ’90s-influenced looks. Indeed, she’s recently taken to wearing only archival designs from the decade during which her new movie takes place.
Featuring a faux fur neckline and cuffs, Brown’s frock flashed her panties, which recalled Kate Moss’ legendary transparent slip, who similarly wore hers with black underwear while at a party in 1993.Brown, however, elevated the ensemble not with rubber flip-flops à la Moss, 51, but black satin pumps with crystal-covered stiletto heels by Louis Vuitton.
Eagle-eyed fashion fans may recall that the supermodel also wore a near-identical black lace gown on her 50th birthday, which suggested that Brown may have been doubling down on the the everlasting appeal of the naked dress.
This isn’t the first time Brown has bared (almost) all. Last month in Madrid, she graced the crimson rug in a sheer blue Giorgio Armani gown (the exact one Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the 1998 premiere of her movie Shakespeare in Love — six years before Brown was born).
As Brown revealed on a March 11 episode of “The Movie Podcast,” Paltrow, 52, sent over a rack of ’90s-era clothes for her to wear during the ongoing press tour. Pamela Anderson also mailed the actress a “huge bag” of pre-loved pieces, which Brown was spotted in as of late.
“I’ve been a huge fan of ’90s style aesthetic, hair, makeup,” the Stranger Things actress said on the podcast. “I wasn’t as well versed in it before The Electric State, so [it] opened up those ideas.” Brown continued: “I was really able to indulge in these ’90s icons and actually pull some looks from those icons’ closets, so we have been able to build out this amazing journey of what the press tour could look like.”
We can expect to see more nostalgic Y2K looks from Brown — both on and off the red carpet.
