Florence Pugh Stunned in a Completely Sheer Nude Valentino Crop Top and Skirt
Florence Pugh graced Paris fashion week with her presence and had a particularly big fashion moment during a night out in the French city. The Don’t Worry Darling star wore a gorgeous sheer two-piece ensemble from Valentino on Oct. 2 that showcased her figure, as the actress forewent a bra. “Trust the button. #Valentino,” Pugh wrote on her Instagram, sharing photos of the crop top and high-waist skirt look.
Pugh spoke out earlier this year about those critical of her wearing sheer outfits after she wore a see-through pink tulle dress at Valentino’s haute couture fall/winter fashion show on July 8, 2022 in Rome.
She shared then in a statement posted to her Instagram:
Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing.
I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio..?
It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be.
Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me. I’m happy with all of the ‘flaws’ that I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14.
So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny tits’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested’.
I’ve lived in my body for a long time. 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? Small? Large? Left? Right? Only one? Maybe none?
What. Is. So. Terrifying.It makes me wonder what happened to you to be so content on being so loudly upset by the size of my boobs and body..?
I’m very grateful that I grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, curvy women. We were raised to find power in the creases of our body. To be loud about being comfortable. It has always been my mission in this industry to say ‘fuck it and fuck that’ whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive.
I wore that dress because I know.
If being loudly abusive towards women publicly in 2022 is so easy for you, then the answer is that it is you who doesn’t know.
Grow up. Respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans. Life will get a whole lot easier, I promise.
And all because of two cute little nipples….Oh! The last slide is for those who feel more comfortable with that inch of darker skin to be covered…

Pugh also attended Valentino’s spring/summer 2023 show in Paris this week, wearing a white capelet with a pink mini dress from the fashion house. That was on Oct. 2 too—a great day of fashion all around for the actress.
