Millie Bobby Brown walked the red carpet at the 2025 SAG Awards on Sunday, February 23. The newly blonde Stranger Things actress wore a Louis Vuitton spaghetti strap peach gown that featured a low back and a modest train.

The event, held at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, marked the first public appearance for Brown since she celebrated her 21st birthday. In honor of her special day, which fell on Wednesday, February 19, Brown debuted a completely new look.

In a video shared to her Instagram account, Brown gave off serious mermaid vibes in a strapless green gown. The most notable thing, however, was that she dyed her hair bleach blond. Her long tresses were folded into a series of fishtail braids.

"Thx for the bday wishes... hi 21," she captioned the post, adding the double pink heart emoji. The look quickly went viral. Brown spent some time on the beach in Turks and Caicos with some friends before jetting back to LA for Sunday night's big show.

Brown's bleach blonde hair appears to be staying around for awhile, as she attended the SAG Awards with her platinum locks tied up in a bun.

She accessorized her look with Chopard jewels, including earrings that featured two 11-carat brilliant-cut yellow diamonds and nearly 10 carats of white diamonds, according to Page Six.

Brown has been quite busy over the past year. Aside from changing up her look, she also tied the knot. In May 2024, Brown married Jon Bon Jovi's 22-year-old son, Jake Bongiovi, in Italy. And things don't seem to be slowing down for Brown any, either. Also on February 23, the actress teased the release of a new product — which may or may not be a new perfume — on her Instagram Stories.

The post she shared was initially uploaded by Brown's beauty brand, Florence by Mills.

"Sneak peek of @milliebobbybrown's look for @sagawards tonight... and also soft launching something coming v soon," read the post's caption.
