While her impressive acting at such a young age was certainly praised, a big aspect that garnered her a lot of attention was her hair, particularly the fact that she had to shave it off completely for her role as Eleven.

Since then, the actress has played around with various hair looks as it continues to grow, from preppy bobs and edgy lobs, to honey tresses and even platinum blonde locks and bangs.

Millie made her big debut at the red carpet premiere of Stranger Things in 2016, when she appeared fresh-faced in a gold-hued lace gown.

Her unforgettable buzz cut was just starting to grow, and for the big night, she tousled her short waves and accessorized with a dainty gold headband.

Millie entered the scene with a freshly-grown buzz cut

By 2017 she had successfully grown her pixie cut into a short bob, and she started experimenting with either styling it slicked back or into a soft, old-glamor look as well.
