An Official Guide To Florence Pugh’s Greatest Looks Of All Time
She does it right every time.
Whether you were first introduced to the actor through the iconic horror film Midsommar or through the Don’t Worry Darling drama, Florence Pugh has stayed permanently on Hollywood’s mind over the past few years — and in fashion girlies’ hearts.
Though Pugh’s rise to fame has undeniably skyrocketed over the past four years, due to her work in Black Widow and Little Women, her red carpet moments actually span back to the start of her career in the mid-2010s. During that time, she has continued to define her red carpet style into what it is today (read: edgy as hell and inarguably cool).
Now, she’s one of the most exciting stars on any red carpet, with style savants eagerly awaiting what she’ll wear next. Case in point: the sheer anticipation for her Met Gala debut look. (She absolutely delivered, read on for her final look.)
Pugh is particularly known for taking fashion risks, ever reaching for edgy details, like plunging necklines, see-through fabrics, exaggerated trains, and, of course, her signature septum piercing. Her Oppenheimer press tour alone has seen her switching up several hair colors.
Her style risks are so bold, in fact, that they always prompt online chatter. In 2022, her sheer Barbiecore gown brought an onslaught of social media trolls with very outdated opinions on nipples. Her mic drop response: “I’m fully aware of my breast size and am not scared of it. What’s more concerning is…. Why are you so scared of breasts?”
Thankfully, this hasn’t stopped the actor from going full speed ahead with her chic (and majorly see-through) looks — for awards season, parties, and during her press tours.
Ahead, take a look at 41 of Pugh’s best red carpet looks to date.
London Photocall of Oppenheimer
At first glance, this may look like your run-of-the-mill blazer dress boldly worn sans bra — but look again. The details on her plunging mini give the illusion that the fabric is denim. With white pumps, slim shades, and pink hair, Pugh absolutely slayed.
UK Premiere of Oppenheimer
A voluminous skirt with a show-stopping train, the waist cut-outs, and a plunging halter neckline make for one spicy red carpet gown. Pugh even dyed her hair orange to match her gown’s rust hue. Now that is fashion commitment.
2023 Met Gala
At the 2023 Met Gala, she donned a voluminous ivory strapless dress with a saucy cut-out by Valentino and unveiled a shaved head under a magnificent feathered headpiece. It may have been Pugh’s debut at the famed fashion event, but this is already one of the greatest Met Gala looks of all time. Hands down.

Pugh looked positively ethereal as she glided on the carpet in a flowy Valentino strapless number. This seafoam green sheer ‘fit perfectly channeled the no-pants trend.
