There's simply no look that Florence Pugh can't pull off, but since debuting a buzz cut at the Met Gala [3] in May, she's really been leaning into her short hair era. Having dyed her crop from her signature blonde to pastel pink [4] in July during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, she is now back to blonde and embracing the super-short look. So much so, that she's been comparing herself to a spiky-haired viral celebrity.
On 3 Aug. the "Oppenheimer" star [5] posted photos to her Instagram stories [6] from the back of a car, wearing an embroidered jumper, cat eye sunglasses, and statement starfish earrings. She added text across the selfie, writing: "Sometimes when I get out the shower I look like Guy Fieri and I love it." For those not in the know, Fieri is an American TV chef known for his larger-than-life character and his short, cropped, spiky, bleach blonde hair.
Pugh didn't leave the resemblance at one selfie either. She added a video of herself, looking smug, as she added the caption: "Just saying.. could be the new mayor of flavour town" which is Fieri's signature phrase. "Or should I say … 'Flo'ver town". Now we love a pun just as much as the next person, but Pugh is a keen cook herself, having launched a "Cooking with Flo" YouTube channel during the pandemic. So, 'Flo'ver town could well become a reality if a foodie cropped hair collaboration comes up. We do have one question that remains unanswered though: was Pugh heading to a diner, drive-in, or dive?

Pugh's hair has had many iterations. From a faux fringe at the BAFTAs [8] in Feb. to a brunette pixie-mullet [9] in Jan 2022, but it seems this cropped cut is the fuss-free style she's having the most fun with. Either way, we can't wait to see what more looks she has in store.
