Millie Bobby Brown walked the red carpet in a vintage dress created for a Hollywood legend five years before she was born.
On Thursday, February 27, the Stranger Things star, 21, promoted her Netflix film The Electric State, in Madrid, Spain, dressed in a Giorgio Armani beaded sheer blue gown.

This wasn’t the first time a starlet had donned Brown’s elegant look — Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, also wore the same frock to the December 1998 New York City premiere of her film Shakespeare in Love.
Brown posted two photos on Instagram of herself rocking the dress along with one throwback shot of then-26-year-old Paltrow in it.
At the Monday, February 24 Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Brown also used the spotlight to channel another ’90s Hollywood icon, former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson, 57.
Brown, who rocked her newly platinum hair and wore a gold Annie’s Ibiza gown to the event, received flack for her look, with some sniping on social media that she looked older than her age.
The Enola Holmes actress responded to the criticism by reposting a British Vogue article with the headline “No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks.”
