Millie Bobby Brown focused on filming the final season of Stranger Things and chose to miss her anticipated Met Gala debut while managing the expansion of her fashion brand Florence by mills
Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in *Stranger Things*, chose to skip the 2024 Met Gala despite having been in New York City in late April. Her absence, while surprising to some, makes sense as she remains busy filming the final season of the show, which currently takes place far from the city.
2024 has been a significant year for Brown in the fashion world, as she expanded her Florence by Mills line into clothing. Speaking with *ELLE.com* in January, she explained that her early experience dressing for red carpets guided this decision. Since *Stranger Things* gained popularity when she was just 10, she struggled to find her personal style while fashion brands clamoured to style her. The only times she dressed up were for events or work. As she grew older, she realized she needed to define her unique fashion sense.

The actress wanted her Florence by Mills brand to be accessible to her generation, ensuring that when young people shop, they can find a corner that suits their style and budget.
Meanwhile, Brown’s engagement to Jake Bongiovi and her growing fashion career continue to spotlight her rising star. Her absence from the Met Gala highlights her dedication to both her creative ventures and professional commitments, balancing acting and fashion with careful planning.
