Whether she is "beautiful" or not, the harm is in minimizing who she actually is, what she actually stands for, what her dreams are, how she wants to live her life, and instead focusing on and commenting on how she "looks." Those who focus on her looks are themselves very shallow people.
Of course girls and ladies are taught to be shallow, to focus on how well they apply makup, how their face looks, whether anyone will tell them that they are pretty. It is a shallowness that is deeply imbedded in most cultures and people like you don't even realize the shallowness of it. -

luckily, Millie herself is challenging that stereotype every time she gets the opportunity. An interviewer commented on her getting so many compliment about her looks. Her reply was that she appreciated 'all that', that no girl minds being called 'pretty' but she'd rather be seen for who she is, what she does and wants to do for the world.

yeah, I liked someone because I was under the impression they had massive boobs, but as time went on, I kept on finding out little info nuggets about this person and my fondness grew to the point where I now no longer care if i was being catfished with a fake picture or not, I still like the person

I have to disagree a little. I don't think commenting on her looks is being shallow, but I do agree that there is more of Millie as a person to see. IMO she is very talented, intelligent, and has a very sweet and outgoing personality. All of these traits, among others, make up who she is, some are less important than others for sure. I agree, her "looks" should never take precedence over her other qualities.

I'm not encouraging focusing on her beauty above undeniably more important attributes like her acting skills and character - however commenting on the latter would be non-controversial/unawkward in any setting, where as the former can create varying shades of weirdness, it's that weirdness i'm specially commenting on.
Anyway what a well-mannered, kind seeming, charismatic and fearlessly talented little girl
