Millie Bobby Brown dedicates outfit to Parkland victims at Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards

She wore the jacket in support of the March for Our Lives movement

As hundreds of thousands gathered at March for Our Lives demonstrations across America, Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown showed her support for the movement at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday night.

Making a strong sartorial and political statement, the actress who plays Eleven on the Netflix hit wore a custom Calvin Klein jacket that featured the names of the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting in Florida.

Above the names read “March For Our Lives” while “Never Again” was printed above her front left pocket in support of the weekend’s nationwide protest against gun violence.

Taking to the stage to accept the award for Favourite TV Actress, the 14-year-old also highlighted the cause with an emotional speech.

“Thank you so much for this award, and to Nickelodeon for bringing us all together,” she said.

“As we saw a moment ago, the March for Our Lives demonstrations that took place all over the world today have inspired me and impacted us all in one way or another.

“But more than anything, I get to be up here, and I'm privileged to have a voice that can be heard, one that I can use to hopefully make a positive difference and help influence change.

“OK, so there's an amazing support, love and kindness in this room right now, and I want to encourage everyone to embrace it and to pass it on.”

She concluded, "For the angels among us, your spirit lives on. This is for you."

After the show, Brown posted a photo of her jacket on Twitter and Instagram thanking Calvin for supporting her and the movement.

“Thank you to all the fans who voted for me and for Stranger Things at Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards today,” she wrote.

“A big [folded hands emoji] also to my friends at Calvin Klein for being such a champion of important causes and efforts to create positivity in this world. #marchforourlives #neveragain”

While the Stranger Things star was unable to make an appearance at the march, other celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, George and Amal Clooney, and Paul McCartney took to the streets to show their support.
