Millie Bobby Brown Is Back as Millie Bobby Bob
Millie Bobby Brown (Bon Jovi) is fearless when it comes to a hair transformation: from the Stranger Things buzzcut to that Pamela/Britney/Jessica Simpson-esque shade of blonde, and her most recent cherry cola red. Having oscillated between flowing lengths and a lob, Millie Bobby Brown is now officially Millie Bobby Bob again. Welcome to the team!
M.B.B. stepped out for a night at the 2026 Joy Awards, wearing a glittering silver Tamara Ralph fall winter 2025 couture gown with a sweet cowlneck and delicate floral appliqué enveloping the hip, paired with Chopard diamond earrings.
Her freshly chopped bob, by go-to hairstylist Pete Burkill, grazes her jaw, and was styled in lightly tousled waves with a soft side part to keep her bangs off of her face. It also looks like the Stranger Things alum has returned to a lighter brunette color.
The rest of her glam followed the same elegant rhythm, with a bright red lip.

Rumblings that Brown was back on team bob began when husband Jake Bongiovi dropped pictures from the couple’s recent vacation on Instagram, with one pic showing Brown with her shorter lengths styled straight with a middle part.
Across the Stranger Things 5 press tour, she wore her chest-length hair in a deep auburn shade. For her British Vogue cover shoot, Brown leaned into the more pastoral, country girl look with flowing brunette waves, effortless and undone. But this is not the first time M.B.B. has sported the chin-grazing style; last time, though, she held onto her bright beachy blonde hue with some darker roots. This new bob feels much softer and pared back, easy to style up and maintain.
The actor picked up the Personality of the Year Award at the Joy Awards. She changed into a feathery pink Tamara Ralph spring 2024 couture gown to pick up the award, and kept the light and swishy bob in check.
With her expansive and free-spirited sense of style, we won’t expect Millie to keep this hair for too long—but this chocolate-toned bob is just perfect for the awards season circuit, so we look forward to seeing how she and Burkill style it out.
