Millie Bobby Brown Wears Custom Gown at 'Enola Holmes 3' World Premiere — And the Internet Has Notes on Both Her Dress and Jake Bongiovi's Outfit — Photos

Millie Bobby Brown's elegant "Enola Holmes 3" premiere look drew admiration — but online, fans also found plenty to say about both her gown and Jake Bongiovi's outfit.

The 23-year-old actress stepped onto the New York red carpet in a custom gown alongside husband Jake Bongiovi. Their coordinated looks soon sparked praise, questions, and debate across social media.

The Premiere Look That Started the Conversation

Brown celebrated the world premiere of "Enola Holmes 3" at The Plaza Hotel in New York City on June 25, 2026, stepping onto the red carpet in a custom gown.

She posed for solo portraits before joining 24-year-old Bongiovi and later reuniting with co-star Louis Partridge, who wore a dark double-breasted suit with an open-collar shirt.

According to People, Brown's custom pale blue, strapless gown featured a ruched sweetheart bodice, pleating throughout the bodice and skirt, a center bow, and a subtle train.

She completed the look with a Chopard 18K white gold necklace from the jeweler's Haute Joaillerie Collection featuring 32.56 carats of diamonds.

Hairstylist Pete Burkill styled her hair in an elegant braided updo with face-framing strands, while makeup artist Buster Knight created her beauty look.

According to Galia Lahav's Instagram post, Brown's custom premiere gown marked another collaboration between the actress and the fashion house, which designed one of the four dresses she wore during her October 2024 wedding to Bongiovi in Italy.

"After creating her custom wedding gown, it was an honor to create for another unforgettable moment," the label wrote. "Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. A vision from every angle 🤍."

Bongiovi's Coordinated Look Came with Extra Attention

Brown's gown was only part of the couple's coordinated red carpet appearance.

Bongiovi complemented her ensemble in a light-blue tailored suit featuring cropped trousers, a crisp white dress shirt, a slim dark tie, and light-colored loafers. With neatly styled hair and a clean-shaven look, he matched the couple's soft blue color palette.

That scrutiny appeared to carry over to the "Enola Holmes 3" premiere, where social media users closely examined both Brown's gown and Bongiovi's suit.

Once the premiere photos began circulating, social media users zeroed in on several details they either praised or questioned.

The Outfit Details That Drew the Most Attention

On Reddit, one commenter admired the dress's shade but questioned its construction, writing, "Pretty color but sighhh [sic] the fit of the bust."

Another user shifted attention to Bongiovi, commenting, "She looks very pretty but his shoes make me angry." Meanwhile, one fan embraced Brown's styling, saying, "I am in the minority but I love her Princess of New Jersey aesthetic."

The discussion soon turned to Bongiovi's footwear and tailoring. One Reddit user admitted, "Ah the color, I actually thought he was barefoot the first time I was scrolling, yeah maybe photographs funny, agree."

Another remarked, "His ankles look so... exposed," while someone else joked, "Her husband looks barefoot." Some fans focused on Brown's expressions in the premiere photos rather than her outfit.

Another Redditor wrote, "Right?? The first photos made me sad, as she looked like she was uncomfortable being there, but she lights up with her husband & looks more relaxed, love it."

Others continued debating the gown's design. Someone else asked, "Can someone in the fashion industry explain what's going on with the busts these days? It must be intentional, but why?" Another concluded, "I feel like his pants are too short here."

A second Reddit discussion echoed the attention on Bongiovi's styling. One commenter simply asked, "Who dressed this man," while another reacted, "THE SHOES OMG."

Viewers on TikTok also weighed in on Brown's gown. One commenter felt, "It just feels like it need to be a little bit more up," while another called it "The best she has ever looked."

On Instagram, one viewer shared another perspective, writing, "That dress looks so painful and to [sic] small."

While opinions varied, Brown has previously shared that her husband's interest in fashion is something she often jokes about.

The premiere also marked one of the couple's first major public appearances since Brown defended Bongiovi against criticism over their parenting roles.

The Viral Photos That Put the Couple Under Scrutiny

In August 2025, Brown and Bongiovi announced on Instagram that they had welcomed a baby girl through adoption.

They shared their excitement about becoming parents and said they hoped to experience the next stage of their lives together in peace and privacy. The announcement ended with a message noting that their family had grown to three.

As the couple adjusted to parenthood, their family life also drew increased attention online.

As reported by Page Six, photos of the pair walking through New York City with their adopted daughter went viral after some social media users questioned why Brown appeared to be carrying most of the baby gear while Bongiovi walked beside her.

Brown later addressed the criticism during an appearance on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie podcast," a clip of which was later shared on TikTok. "Hi, I'm Millie Bobby Brown, and I'm not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats, and stuff?" she said.

She explained that she had planned ahead for the outing, adding, "Because I'm three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night."

Brown also questioned why people celebrated women's independence but criticized her for carrying her own belongings: "We're all about empowering girl, and, 'You got it' and 'You don't need a man.' But then when I'm like, 'OK, I can carry my own things,' people are like, 'Where's your husband?'"

While Brown has addressed criticism surrounding their relationship in recent weeks, she has also shared lighter stories about Bongiovi during previous interviews.

Brown Says Bongiovi Prefers Shopping over Packing

Brown has offered lighthearted insights into her husband's shopping habits in previous interviews.

During Crocs' "Cozy Confessions" interview released in August 2025, Brown was asked about her biggest travel pet peeve. She joked that Bongiovi rarely packs clothes because he prefers buying new ones after they reach their destination.

"My husband, um, he doesn't pack any clothes just ever," Brown said. "So, we'll like, leave, and I'll have a big suitcase, and he has nothing with him, just his phone."

She said he often realizes he has no clothes after arriving: "He goes, 'Mill, I don't have any clothes.' And I go, 'No Sherlock. You didn't pack anything.' And he goes, 'Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I just have to go shopping here.' ... He likes to not pack to then go to a place to go shop for the trip that he didn't pack for."

Brown shared a similar story during her appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast in March 2025, where she was asked who was more likely to splurge on a big purchase.

"My husband, really," Brown said. "I'll be like, 'Oh, I need socks.' And he'll be like, 'Let's go to Prada.' And I'm like, 'Let's go to Target.' He's just like that kind of guy. He loves to go shopping."

She contrasted his habits with her own, explaining that she prefers practical purchases: "Whereas I'm like, 'Amazon Basics.' ... I never ever when I do spend money on something... I don't just buy it right away."

Brown added that Bongiovi sometimes experiences buyer's remorse after shopping. "I try to help Jake through that, but he does get... buyer's guilt," she said. "Sometimes he'll be like, 'Mm, I shouldn't have [ __ ].'"

She laughed that she usually reassures him afterward. "I'm like, 'You don't need that babe.' And he's like, 'I know, yeah,'" she said in the podcast.

Alongside sharing stories about her life off-screen, Brown has been reflecting on what it has meant to grow up with one of her best-known roles.

Brown reflects on growing up with Enola Holmes

During a June 2026 appearance on NBC's "Today" with hosts Willi Giest and Savannah Guthrie, Brown reflected on portraying Enola Holmes across three films.

"I've been lucky within my career so far, able to stay with a character for maybe longer than expected," Brown said. "It's so exciting, especially because I started this when I was 15. To be able to have her grow with me. I'm 22."

The actress said her performance balances Enola's personal growth with the qualities that have made the character easy to connect with.

"I feel like now, I'm just bringing different elements of maturity and wisdom to her. But still, she's deeply flawed, which is what I want girls to be able to see. She can be everyone's hero," she told the hosts.

Her connection to the franchise has taken on new meaning since becoming a parent.

According to People, Brown recently revealed on Josh Horowitz's "Happy Sad Confused" podcast that she showed her adopted daughter the first "Enola Holmes" film.

"I did show her Enola Holmes 1, and she wasn't interested at all," Brown said. "Then I said, 'Tis I,' and she looked up because I sounded like mom. She watched like five minutes and then got completely disinterested, but it was very nice to be able to show her that, you know, all of my childhood is on Netflix."

Becoming a mother is something Brown has spoken about long before welcoming her daughter.

How Parenthood Became a Longtime Goal

As reported previously, Brown has often expressed a desire to become a mother from an early age. In a podcast on March 10, 2025, the actress shared:

"My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. You know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me."

As revealed in the same podcast, her nurturing side has also been reflected in the way she cares for animals on her Georgia farm, where she looks after dogs, ponies, cows, and goats.

At times, her habit of buying supplies like bottles and nappies for them even led to speculation that she might be expecting a child.

As Millie Bobby Brown celebrates both a new chapter in her personal life and the release of "Enola Holmes 3," her and Bongiovi's coordinated premiere looks have continued to spark conversation among fans — demonstrating once again that red carpet fashion often generates as much discussion as the films themselves.
