Millie Bobby Brown reasons for missing 2024 Met Gala

Millie Bobby Brown misses Met Gala debut due to filming Stranger Things, talks fashion journey and expanding clothing line.

Millie Bobby Brown was noticeably absent from the Met Gala this year, despite being in New York City in late April. This absence was expected, as she has been busy filming the final season of Stranger Things outside of the city.

In the fashion world, Brown has had a significant year, expanding her Florence by Mills line into clothing at the start of 2024. In an interview with ELLE.com in January, she reflected on her journey in fashion, starting when she was just 10 years old attending events and ceremonies where big fashion brands wanted to style her. She struggled to find her personal style, as her only dress-up occasions were for work. As she grew older, she realized the importance of personal style and wanted to create a resource for girls going through the same journey. She aimed to provide innovative outfits and styles that were accessible and affordable for her generation.

The theme of this year's Met Gala, "The Garden of Time," presented a unique challenge for attendees to interpret in their outfits. The dress code was more complex than in previous years, pushing stars to think outside the box and showcase their creativity on the red carpet.
