Millie Bobby Brown Is Firmly in Her Cozy Era

Millie Bobby Brown has grown up in the spotlight. By the time the final season of Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things wraps up on December 31, Brown will have played her character, Eleven, for just shy of a decade. Over the course of her style journey in the public eye, she finally feels as if she’s landed on what truly works for her: embracing coziness. “It’s less about the look and just more about comfort and ease,” she tells ELLE—though she did enjoy the story she told through fashion during her recent press tour for her film The Electric State.

This summer, Brown teamed up with Crocs to star in their all-new Unfurgettable Clog campaign, lensed by Lillie Eiger. The actress instantly felt right at home alongside her dog in the whimsical tea party-inspired setting. Below, Brown delves into what it was like on set and what she has planned for the rest of her summer.

I am definitely just more of a cozy girl. Anything fluffy, I'm probably buying. And I love whimsical color and fun fabrics.

It’s been really fun. I got to play around and to work with people who do that as a profession. I mean, I definitely went through different phases, but I feel like now I’m in my cozy era.

I feel like they’re so collaborative, so it was really nice to be able to talk through what was important to me. My favorite part of the shoot was working with my dog, Winnie. That was really fun, and she was such an angel that day as well.

I definitely feel like less is more, but the Jibbitz are really fun to play with, and I usually love any of the animal ones—I think any of the dogs are really fun.
