Sexed-up 'Stranger Things' Eleven Halloween costume garners fierce backlash
Sometimes the real world is creepier than the Upside Down.
"Stranger Things" costumes will certainly be a staple of this year's Halloween circuit for both kids and adults, but one off-brand version has people furious: "Upside Down Honey," a sexualized take on character Eleven. In the show, Eleven is a preteen; in real life, actress Millie Bobby Brown turned 13 this year.
The outfit features a super-short baby pink dress, thigh-high socks, stilettos and a waffle-shaped bag. (Okay, the bag is cute. We like the bag.)
Twitter users who've come across the bizarre ensemble have been quick to speak out, with people saying they're "horrified" and "disgusted": She's "literally a child," one wrote.
