Millie Bobby Brown is a force to be reckoned with, both within her industry and with her fashion choices
The 21-year-old is an acclaimed actress, author, fashion designer, beauty entrepreneur, canned iced coffee designer... You name it, she's done it. Her style agenda is also just as versatile. From Britney Spears-coded 90s looks to personalised swimsuits and affordable high-street pieces, her style file is adored by her fans and fashion lovers across the globe.
In her latest look, she has revived one of fashion's most flattering styling hacks, coined the 'upper midriff' trend - and it's a surefire way to ensure an outfit is undeniably flattering, for both street style and special occasion dressing.

She wore a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans paired with a simple, fitted white, cropped t-shirt. Some white trainers, oversized sunglasses and Jennifer Lopez-approved statement gold hoops finished off her elevated off-duty look.

The goal is to shift the focus higher than the traditional cropped look, revealing only the upper abs. It’s a more modest take compared to the daring Y2K revival (we’re looking at you, Bella Hadid), which embraces low-rise waistlines and full midriffs on display. This upper-midriff trend offers a more refined, demure alternative for those who aren’t sold on the noughties nostalgia.
