Millie didn't take it lying down and fired back on Instagram.
She said: 'Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs.
Millie Bobby Brown addresses public scrutiny
'I refuse to apologise for growing up… I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself.'
She blasted those joining in on the jibes, adding: 'You're amplifying an insult instead of questioning why a grown man is mocking a young woman's appearance.'
Millie's emotional video went viral and celebs flooded the comments to praise her.
Sex and the City star
F1 champ Lewis Hamilton wrote: 'So truly proud of you Millie.'
Singer Pixie Lott added: 'You are a true class act… always beyond beautiful inside and out.'
Matt Lucas later apologised, saying: 'I thought you looked terrific… I realise it upset you and for that, I apologise.'
Millie has grown up in front of the cameras since landing her breakout role as Eleven on Stranger Things aged just 10.
Now a fully-fledged Hollywood star, she's raking in around £10million for the show's final season – a massive jump from the £8,000 per episode she earned back in season one.
Her latest film, The Electric State, dropped on Netflix in March and saw her star opposite Chris Pratt, Woody Harrelson, and Stanley Tucci.
She also appeared in the Enola Holmes movies, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and last year's Netflix fantasy flick Damsel.
This isn't the first time Millie has clapped back over comments on her looks.
After being trolled over her appearance in Enola Holmes, she hit back: 'Women grow!! Not sorry about it!'
Fans have previously speculated about cosmetic work – from lip fillers to veneers – but Millie has never confirmed any procedures.
As well as shaking up her image, she's also settled down. She secretly married model Jake Bongiovi, 22 – son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi – last year in a low-key ceremony in the US.
The pair began dating in 2021, and Jake proposed during a scuba diving trip by hiding the ring inside a shell.
Jon Bon Jovi gave the couple his blessing, saying: 'They're going to be great together.'
Millie has even expressed interest in playing Britney Spears in a future biopic, saying: 'Her story resonates with me, growing up in the public eye.'

Maura Higgins lifts the lid on her stint on The Traitors
Maura Higgins has lifted the lid on her time on a new reality show as she admitted she thought it was 'going to be a piece of p**s' compared to her time in the jungle. The Longford native entered the Australian jungle as a late arrival for the 2024 edition of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. She finished in seventh place. In January, the presenter will grace our TV screens once again as she swaps the villa and jungle for a castle for the new season of the US Traitors.

Maura made the announcement earlier in the year, writing on her Instagram Story 'see you at the round table' as the Traitors' theme song played in the background. Sharing her thoughts on participating in the show, Maura branded it an 'experience' as she admitted she thought it would be easy considering she had done I'm A Celebrity.

'I can't say anything about it. It's very hush hush. But I will say, it's going to be a very, very, very good season.' It comes not long after the 34-year-old was revealed to be replaced as host of Love Island USA's Aftersun.

The Longford beauty's departure is alleged to be due to scheduling conflicts. Elsewhere, Irish fans are bracing themselves for the first season of the Irish version of The Traitors, which will be presented by Derry Girls star Siobhan McSweeney. Kevin McGahern is on hosting duties for the aftershow, Uncloaked. The Irish version kicks off on RTÉ from Sunday, August 31, with contestants competing for €50,000. While the US and UK versions are shot in Scotland, ours stays closer to home, being shot in Slane Castle.

'Delulu' and 'tradwife' among words added to Cambridge Dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher has said. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.
