Millie Bobby Brown Parkland Victims Jacket

published 25 March 2018

The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards were yesterday in California, and though we already love her style, Millie Bobby Brown’s outfit caught our attention for a different reason this time. Paired with matching bootleg jeans, the Stranger Things actress donned a denim Calvin Klein jacket, embroidered with the names of the seventeen victims of the Parkland shooting on the back.

In addition to honouring the victims sartorially, Brown also spoke out against gun violence in her speech at the awards show. As she took to the stage to accept her award for favourite TV actress, the young star used her moment in the spotlight to make a political statement.

“As we saw a moment ago, the March for Our Lives demonstrations that took place all over the world today have inspired me and impacted us all in one way or another” Brown said, according to The Independent.“I get to be up here, and I'm privileged to have a voice that can be heard, one that I can use to hopefully make a positive difference and help influence change.”

We’ve noted before how impressed we are by the young actress’ talent and style, but to see her standing up to make a statement on an important issue makes us love her even more. So young, so wise, so stylish. After all, the recent gun control movement taking over the U.S. has been led primarily by high school students, so it seems fitting that Brown, though young, be a spokesperson for the issue. Hopefully the march and support from influential people across the U.S. (like Brown), will incite some level of change; only time will tell. Keep scrolling to see her outfit and shop the jeans, below.
