There are a million things on a bride-to-be’s mind. A ‘Production’ as Millie Bobby Brown
would put it. From flowers to curtains to carpet to the dress
to the hair, to even deal with the paparazzi thinking they could stealthily grab some confidential tit-bits and if not, something
in the least. However, the unspoken-of fuel that drives these bride-to-bes often has even the best in field disarmed and helpless in face of the bride’s wrath.
While the marriage had seemed like a dream to the onlooking spectator, the details and the struggles and the uncalled-for mask-on that went into the Stranger Things
actress acquiring the dress of her dreams, had not been noticed up until now.
Off duty but never out of the ‘act’: Millie Bobby Brown’s guide to evading the paparazzers
All teeth and upturned mouth as Jimmy Fallon congratulated the 21-year-old on her marriage, Millie Bobby Brown sat recounting the days and the hours right before the wedding. Upon getting a cue, on The Tonight Show,
Brown recalled an event that may have been ironically normal and left undealt with had it been any other day: a paparazzi following her into the wedding gown store where she was scheduled to do her final fitting.
Brown, upon deducing what the shutterbug might be after (her gown), decided to wear an opposite dress to the one in question. Cue the theatrics as Brown pranced about the room and in front of the mirror, exclaiming how she had found the dress to trick the pap. And trick she did.

While the incident had Millie Bobby Brown triumph over, it is not something that has a positive connotation within her life, or that any celebrity would have within their lives. Having dealt with the invasive nature of social media, content churning bugs. Being exposed to the limelight at an age as early as hers, Brown proves that with perseverance, some brute strength, and most of all, wit, one can work through almost any obstacle.
While Brown’s life often falls under unabashed scrutiny by both fans and non-fans, the recently released flick Electric State’s
actress keeps herself afloat and unbothered and striving towards the better.
