Two days ago, Millie Bobby Brown posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a fitted, animal-print, long-sleeve midi dress with black heels, and the internet trolls had a field day.
But this wasn't the first time Millie had worn a dress and heels before, so we're a bit confused as to why this one in particular, struck a chord with the haters.
Nonetheless, she clapped back, her fans clapped back, and honestly? We're here for ALL of this messy drama.
I mean, she's Eleven, the Eggo-eating, bald-headed, bloody-nosed kid with superpowers.
That's not something to be taken lightly.
She absolutely slays every outfit she wears. I'd be ecstatic if I looked even half this good when I was 14.
Mara Wilson, a former child-actor herself, has been quick to defend Millie on Twitter, clapping back at people for calling her all grown up, because she's simply not.
This isn't the first time she's been shamed, and it likely wont be the last.
If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with this outfit. She looks chic, confident, and happy.
Cue the haters!
It must be really difficult to see a photo on Instagram that you don't agree with, and not comment your opinion on it.
It's 2019. Can we please stop basing everything we do off of what older men are going to think?
There's more to life than that.
It's interesting that they're outraged about Millie not dressing or acting her age —meanwhile, they are literally cyber-bullying a 14-year-old —like that's any better.
They're so worried about how this teenager is dressing, and how she needs to act her age when they should be worried about how their hurtful comments could be affecting her.
“When you hit puberty and think you’re 25,” one commenter wrote. Another wrote, “You’re like 12 where tf is your mother.”
Is it really her fault if she knows a trendy outfit from your typical, awkward, mismatched 14-year-old outfit? We should all be taking notes, instead of criticizing her.
Didn't they learn anything from watching Stranger Things? Don't mess with Eleven.
Just a small reminder to all the judgemental commenters out there: If you don't like it, keep scrolling.
Couldn't have said it better myself. You go girl!
This person wasn't afraid to state the obvious, and I'm applauding them for it.
Let's not get it confused, being a teenager is a hard enough time as it is. You're in between being an adult and a kid.
At the end of the day, it's just a dress and heels, and not even the first time she's worn something like that.
I'm pretty sure that if you were making the same amount of money as Millie Bobby Brown, you wouldn't be shopping for your clothes at Walmart either.
Unfortunately, it is one of the costs of being in the public eye during the era of social media.
For a 14-year-old, she has some exquisite fashion sense, and thick skin to calmly handle the haters with. Something many adults are lacking.
If wearing a dress and heels is the crime, then Millie is guilty of getting away with it many times before.
But suddenly, a 14-year-old rocking a dress and heels is considered "inappropriate."
The midi dress was "too old" for Millie, but the boots and skirt are acceptable? Something isn't adding up here.
What was the sudden cause for concern, when Millie has been wearing what she wants from the start?
Who knew that internet trolls could be so choosy.
It's easy for people to assume the worst. But chances are, Millie was probably just a very big Drake fan, and wanted to build a totally platonic friendship with him. No harm no foul.
But trolls felt very differently.
So maybe this whole situation was just a major overreaction by the trolls.
Either way, I think Millie is going to be just fine, and continue to school us on how to dress.
After all, apparently, they make the rules on what girls are and aren't allowed to wear.
