Millie Bobby Brown Shows Off ‘Vanity Fair’ Cover In Red String Bikini

Millie Bobby Brown rang in her 21st birthday in the most glamorous way possible—soaking up the sun in Turks and Caicos with her closest friends!

The “Stranger Things” star, who has grown up in the public eye, marked the milestone with a tropical getaway and a stylish beachside photoshoot that had fans swooning.

From flaunting her toned physique in a bold red bikini to reflecting on her journey in Vanity Fair, Millie proved she’s stepping into this new chapter of her life with confidence and grace.

Millie shared a glimpse of her beach celebration on Instagram, treating her 63.2 million followers to a collection of sun-kissed snapshots. In the cover image of her post, she and best friends Lexi Jayde and Delani Swenson knelt in the sand, surrounded by neon beach buckets and shovels, embracing their inner child while building sandcastles.

The British star looked radiant in a sparkling gold string bikini paired with wire-rimmed rectangle sunglasses, exuding effortless beach-chic vibes.

One of the standout moments from Millie’s birthday photo dump was an effortlessly cool shot of her lounging in a hammock, flipping through her latest Vanity Fair cover issue. Wearing a stylish animal-print bikini with red trim and cherry details, she showed off her sculpted figure and glowing, sun-kissed complexion.

The glamorous cover image, captured by renowned photographer Sølve Sundsbø, took center stage in the shot, showcasing Millie’s evolving presence in Hollywood. Fans and friends couldn’t get enough, flooding the comments with praise.

“Such a slay!!!” her beauty and fashion brand, Florence by Mills, wrote.

“Last photo is iconicccccc,” Jemma Brooke Allen added.

“That swimsuit is gorgeous, girl!” another follower chimed in.

While Millie’s beach vacation was all about celebration, her Vanity Fair interview took a more serious turn, shedding light on the challenges of growing up in the spotlight. The actress spoke candidly about the pressures faced by young entertainers and the urgent need for better protection within the industry.

“It just puts children in a really dangerous situation,” she explained, emphasizing how important it is to address the treatment of women and children in Hollywood.

Reflecting on her own experience, she credited her parents for providing a strong foundation of support. “My dad has always been someone who pushes me to stand up for myself and never settle for anything less than what I deserve,” she shared. “The trust he’s instilled in me—the love and hope he’s instilled in me—has helped me go on sets or stages and fight for myself… in hopes that I can fight for others.”

Having spent most of her life in the public eye, Millie has learned the importance of setting boundaries—both in her professional and personal life.

“I don’t allow many people into my life, and when I do, I think it should be super moderated,” she revealed. “I started this really young, and I felt that the press specifically was very, very harsh on me. And so I just like to make sure that I’m advocating for myself.”

Her commitment to maintaining privacy has been especially evident in her romantic life.

Last year, Millie tied the knot with longtime boyfriend Jake Bongiovi, 22, in an intimate ceremony after getting engaged in 2023. The couple, who began dating in 2021, has kept much of their relationship out of the public eye, but Jake made sure to celebrate his wife’s big day with a heartfelt Instagram tribute.

“Happy 21st baby. I love you so much,” he wrote, sharing sweet moments from their time together.
