Can Someone Just Give The Kids From ‘Stranger Things’ All The Emmys?

They may not be nominated for anything, but they're dominating the whole ceremony <3

Today’s Emmys marks the Awards debut for the kids from Stranger Things (who will surely tread many a red carpet in months to come) and they’re really going for it. Stars Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and the incredible Millie Bobby Brown stomped the red carpet together, flashing adorable smiles and pulling some sweet moves for E!’s latest ridiculous red carpet camera (this one called ‘the E! Glambot’).

McLaughlin, who plays Lucas on the series, told reporters that he was styled by his personal stylist (proving to everyone that there are certain things that make childhood stardom worth it). On the other hand, Matarazzo, who plays everyone’s favourite little toothless nugget Dustin, went for a more lowkey look. When asked who he was wearing, Matarazzo replied: “Yeah, uh, I went to this place and got this tux. I got it at the rental place.”

But Millie Bobby Brown, who plays HBIC and breakout-hit Eleven, truly knocked it out of the park: she destroyed the carpet in a gorgeous sheer Valentino gown embroidered with birds, and a customised “Millie” clutch. Let’s be honest, it’s very impressive/embarrassing for the adult celebs when a stylish child is winning “Best Look” at the Emmys.

Not content with owning the runway, the kids headed inside to whip up a dancing frenzy. All three of them took to the Emmys stage for a performance of ‘Uptown Funk’ as part of the pre-awards show entertainment.

First, let’s talk about the fact that these kids have got PIPES. (Although we already had proof that Brown and Matarazzo have some serious vocal chops.) And they can dab worth a damn.

Later, they ventured out into the audience to hand out sandwiches to the hungry stars, making themselves officially the most adorable sandwich delivery people in all of world history. Seriously, what can’t these kids do?
