This week, 14-year-old actress Millie Bobby Brown was named the youngest UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and to celebrate, she painted Stephen Colbert s nails. No, really. While the Brit has already been crowned the youngest TIME 2018 Most Influential Person, she can now add celebrity manicurist to that ever-growing list of impressive accolades.
Last night, in chatting with Colbert about her new gig as an advocate for youth rights, Brown, who was clad in blue, a sartorial choice that supported World Children s Day, shared her passion for a teal-colored manicure—and her disdain for present company s lack of pride. "I m going to have to paint your nails blue," she said while whipping out a bottle of Essie turquoise polish. Wearing a matching, icy-azure winged liner, Brown proceeded to carefully paint short strokes of lacquer onto the Late Show host s fingers—while discussing important matters, of course, such as activism, YouTube beauty tutorials, the Spice Girls....
The Stranger Things 2 actress has been vocal about political issues in the past, having supported the ACLU and GLAAD. And as UNICEF s new ambassador, Brown will no doubt continue to stand as a role model for her generation—neon-painted tips and all.
