Millie Bobby Brown’s mini dress and puffer jacket combo is completely It-girl coded


The unwavering power of the little black dress is being demonstrated repeatedly this season, by fashion icons including Victoria Beckham, Selena Gomez and Alexa Chung.

And the latest sartorial stalwart to put her own spin on the classic LBD is Stranger Things actress and newlywed Millie Bobby Brown.

Whilst the British actress is still knee-deep in the honeymoon phase after holding a second, lavish wedding in Italy with her husband Jake Bongiovi last month, the 20-year-old is back in boss babe mode, sharing outfit ideas created from her own clothing label, Florence By Mills Fashion.

Her latest look was the epitome of 2024 cool-girl. Sheer tights, a classic little black mini dress and a bomber jacket that she styled slouched and off-the-shoulder.

Little black dresses are the timeless wardrobe staple that is a go-to for all occasions. According to fashion historians, it was Coco Chanel who first invented the little black dress. One of the designer’s sketches was featured in Vogue’s 1926 issue, and it was expected to “become sort of a uniform for all women of taste”

And a uniform is exactly what it became. Millie’s addition of a puffer jacket added a sense of casual cool, offsetting the formal feel of her sheer tights and slingback court heel accessories. 

Her cosy coat comes from her newly launched outerwear collection, whilst the mini is a £31 ribbed piece from her core dresses collection.

The fashion set is schooling us in styling the classic little black dress for all occasions this season. Beckham matriarch Victoria stunned in an asymmetrical-necklined black mini at her son Brooklyn’s launch party for his new hot sauce label, Cloud 23. She paired it with a tuxedo blazer and black court heels, perfecting party season chic.
