Florence Pugh Wore a Showstopping Sheer Gown at a London Gala

July 2024 · 2 minute read

Florence Pugh has made yet another jaw-dropping appearance in a sheer dress.

Over the weekend, the Don't Worry Darling star attended a reception for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' new members, held at The National Gallery in London. For the fete, Pugh opted for a delicate tiered gown from Rodarte's fall/winter 2022 collection. The ultra-feminine piece was composed of transparent glittering fabric and included puff sleeves and black bows, which ran all the way down the center. She finished the ensemble with a pair of black pumps and diamond jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Pugh has delivered her fair share of sheer fashion moments over the past few months.

Most recently, the Oscar-nominated actress wore an embellished mesh co-ord from Valentino, which she styled with strappy metallic bronze heels and a white iteration of the Valentino Garavani One Stud Handbag, while stepping out for Paris Fashion Week.

Prior to that, while attending the Italian fashion house's fall/winter 2022 haute couture show this past July, she wowed in a hot pink tulle dress. She wore the sheer gown with no bra, quickly drawing both praise and controversy from people online.

Pugh reflected on the now-viral fashion moment in an interview for Harper's BAZAAR's September 2022 cover story, explaining that she and designer Pierpaolo Piccioli decided together to remove the inner lining of the dress.

"I was comfortable with my small breasts," she said. "And showing them like that—it aggravated [people] that I was comfortable."

She added, "It was just alarming, how perturbed they were. They were so angry that I was confident, and they wanted to let me know that they would never wank over me. Well, don't."
