Millie Bobby Brown is known for her roles in "Stranger Things" and "Damsel."
Her style has been fun and sparkly since the start of her career, often including sparkling dresses.

Millie Bobby Brown has grown up in the spotlight.

So naturally, fans have seen her fashion evolve from the start of her career.

Now 20 years old, Brown first began walking red carpets and attending Hollywood events when she was only 10. At the time, she wore youthful ballet flats, sparkling frocks, and light makeup.

But since then, the "Stranger Things" star has evolved into a young fashion superstar who regularly wears a mix of ball gowns and slinky dresses.

There's no doubt she's a style icon in the making.
