But the red carpet maven does participate in polarizing trends most people wouldn’t touch. Ahead, all the wildest looks she has absolutely pulled off. Mike Marsland/WireImage/Getty Images

Peplum

Mike Marsland/WireImage/Getty Images Pugh’s red-hot take on peplum — which was ubiquitous in the 2010s — is making me rethink the ‘ugly’ trend altogether.

‘80s Prom Dress

Cowgirl Vibes

Exposed Thong

Capes

Free The Nipple

Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images The actor’s most controversial look to date, this Barbie pink moment led Pugh to call out the misogynistic commentary on her look.

Boots With The Fur

Neilson Barnard/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Boots with the fur will always be my favorite ‘ugly’ fashion trend. Pugh just reminded us all how cozy they actually are.

No Pants

Capri Pants
