Millie Bobby Brown’s basically grew up right before our eyes. She started small, playing the pint-sized psychic power Eleven in 2016’s Stranger Things, and though Millie was just 12 years old when the show started, she was full of charm from the start.

With every red carpet event, it was clear the young actress was becoming more and more poised. Since Stranger Things, she’s also appeared in 2019’s Godzilla: King Of Monsters, Netflix’s 2020 mystery Enola Holmes, and its 2022 sequel. Branching out into business, Millie, who just got engaged to Jake Bongiovi, also founded her own beauty brand Florence By Mills.

We love Millie so much we couldn’t resist taking a look back at her over the years. For more photos of Millie Bobby Brown, from her early days right up to now, look no further. Scroll through the gallery here.
