On Tuesday, March 4, the actress, 21, debuted a tiny tattoo dedicated to her husband, Jake Bongiovi, while leaving their London hotel ahead of a day of press for her new movieThe Electric State.

Brown stepped out in a full leopard-print outfit consisting of a jacket, pillbox hat, umbrella and handbag all in the animal pattern. TheStranger Thingsstar also added platform heels in the print. Hernewly blonde hairwas styled into glamorous waves.

The star opted for no socks, revealing a small tattoo on her ankle reading “JB” — Bongiovi’s initials. The model and actor, 22, walked beside his wife in a much more casual ensemble: a gray sweater layered over a white T-shirt and teamed with a pair of brown pants. He also wore sneakers and sunglasses.

The appearance comes the day after Brown shared a makeup-free video discussing the recent media critique of her appearance. In the clip posted to Instagram on Monday, March 3, the actress said it was important to address “bullying” in the media industry as growing up under public scrutiny impacts “every young woman.”

“I started in this industry when I was 10 years old,” Brown said. “I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow up with me.”

“Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did onStranger Thingsseason 1, and because I don’t, I’m now a target,” she continued.

In a text post shared toInstagram, Lucasissued an apologyto Brown.

He continued, “I thought you looked terrific and I was mortified when the press wrote that I ‘slammed’ you, firstly because that’s not my style, and secondly because I think you’re brilliant. I would not have posted it if I had thought it would have upset you but I realise it has and for that I apologise. Matt x”
