Actor Jamie Campbell Bower wowed fans with his look at the premiere of the final season of Stranger Things.
Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Henry Creel/Vecna in the Netflix show, arrived in an all-black ensemble. The look included a pleated leather skirt, tights and a satin shirt, topped off with an oversized blazer. He accessorised with a pearl necklace, a dangly earring and leather boots.
A six-second clip of the star has gone viral, with 13.2 million views on X/Twitter alone.
One fan declared: “They are so beautiful, Vecna is on my hear me out cake.” Another wrote: “Put them in every gothic/horror whatever adaptation. You’ll hear not one complaint from me.”
Someone else said: “The contrast from his role to him [in real life] is so different it’s kinda comedic… dude looks like an angel… absolutely majestic.”
His appearance at the event also went viral on TikTok, generating plenty of (often very thirsty) reactions on that platform too.

His non-traditional outfit caused the phrase “is Jamie Campbell Bower trans” to trend online, but there’s nothing to suggest that he is anything other than a fashion-forward and stylish cisgender celeb who, by rocking a skirt to a big event, proved once again that clothes do not have gender.
When does season five of Stranger Things begin?
Bower is set to return as the villainous Vecna when the fifth and final season of Stranger Things gets under way.
“Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna,” the official synopsis says. “But he has vanished, his whereabouts and plans unknown.
“As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming and, with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone standing together one last time.”
Most of the original cast will also be back, including Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Noah Schnapp (Will), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Winona Ryder and David Harbour.
The season will consist of eight episodes and is set to be released in three parts. The first four episodes will be available from 26 November, with three more on Christmas Day. The final two-hour special is due to drop on New Year’s Eve.
Each set will be available from 1am UK time, 5pm Pacific. Find out more times here.
