Weathering the storm clouds of controversies and gossip, Brown's newest British Vogue venture looks fun and intriguing enough to make the heavy headlines take a step back for a moment.

In a new role at British Vogue, Millie Bobby Brown serves glam and humor as their newest "intern." The magazine took the opportunity to post on Instagram, the Damsel star's change of career after a decade of playing Eleven in Stranger Things. "For now, she’s stepping away from the glitz of Hollywood and heading to the Adelphi to take up a role as the newest intern at #BritishVogue," they captioned with a humorous clip of Brown doing her best to impress her colleagues with a presentation on trend-forecasting. Brown’s visual diary of her work in the Vogue offices connotes it as a stable desk job, as the "steady income" of Stranger Things comes to an end, as she laments in the video.
The video depicts Brown sketching layouts, looking at mood boards, and reflecting on her life after the Netflix show, which has been an integral part of her life. In her attempt to stand out and get a promotion, Brown suggests "rodent-core," "aquarium-core," and the likes of absurd themes as the next big thing. It is layered with a subtext of the unpredictability of show business compared to absurdism in editorial routine. After addressing the colossal endings and harsh headlines, Brown creates something light-hearted in front of the camera, as controversies have been trailing the actress like shadows lately.
No tabloid can escape Millie Bobby Brown's snarky responses, as she has clearly won the being-unbothered war.
Millie Bobby Brown vs her harsh portrayal in the media
Recently, Millie Bobby Brown has been caught in a firestorm of drama alleging that she had filed a complaint against her on-screen dad, David Harbour. Though neither party has addressed this officially, Brown took to her British Vogue interview to take a stance against tabloid coverage that made her an easy target to criticize and bully. Burdened with unsound expectations as like every young actor growing up in the public eye, she shared enough fierceness and vulnerability in addressing her media image.

Even more explicitly, Brown stated, "If I’m gonna be your punching bag, it’s almost like I’m the right person for it. Because I don’t care anymore." As for leaving Hawkins, she called it the "death of someone you love." Millie Bobby Brown might have ditched the Upside Down to temporarily "intern" at British Vogue, but her saga is not yet over as she remains booked and busy with Enola Holmes 3, Just Picture It, and a Gia Coppola feature titled Perfect, upcoming after Stranger Things Season 5.
