Millie Bobby Brown Debuts A Choppy Red Bob At The Joy Awards In Saudi Arabia

The 21-year-old star has been through a lot over the last year, being a wife, adopting a child, and putting out the final season of the show that brought her to fame around the world. Now, she's entering a new hair era to mark it.

 

On January 17th, a few familiar faces were attendees of the Joy Awards in Saudi Arabia, which celebrates exceptional stars from around the world in music, film, television, sports, and more.

 

Millie was one of them, and as she walked the red carpet in a stunning, silver crystal mesh gown with floral embellishments, she also showed off her latest hair transformation.

 

She had ditched the previous long, brown, wavy locks she's been wearing and cut her hair down to a super trendy, choppy bob. Her hair was also a redder color than her previous look, and middle-parted bangs that she wore tucked behind her ears for the occasion. You can see pictures of her on the red carpet here!

Fans React To Millie's Hair On Social Media

After she walked the red carpet at the entertainment awards ceremony, flashing big smiles on the red carpet, pictures and videos of the young mom quickly went viral online. This is certainly not the first time the skincare brand founder's fans have seen her transform her hair. After all, Millie shaved her head in 2016 for her iconic character, Eleven, and has rocked a few styles, short and long, since then.

 

But now that she's entering a new era of her career, a new hairdo has come with it. Luckily, her fans are into it.

 

"The bob is bob-ing," commented a fan on Instagram.

 

"Loving the new hair, Mils," added another.

 

"Looks so stunning," wrote a user.

 

"We're fangirling over here," joked a fan, as another commented that "everything looks good on Millie."

 

We'll be curious to see how long this look lasts on the viral actress, and whether or not she'll decide to grow it out soon. Either way, fans are digging it!
