Millie Bobby Brown made a striking appearance at 'The Electric State' premiere, turning heads with her bold new look.

Some users compared her to famous blonde icons such as Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Dolly Parton, and Jean Smart while others went as far as suggesting that her drastic transformation hinted at an interest in playing Spears in an upcoming biopic.
