Florence Pugh's BAFTA looks just kept on coming. While the actor stunned in a bright-red custom Nina Ricci tiered tulle confection [1] for the main event, it was her dazzling afterparty look [2] that brought the heat. Her sequinned Valentino minidress was early-aughts inspired, teamed with Tiffany & Co. diamond jewellery and equally-as-eye-catching metallic platforms, a new finish on the iconic Valentino Garavani Tan-Go shoe [3]. Pugh's look was one that would make Cher Horowitz proud, crafted of a pink sequinned bodice with crystal-adorned spaghetti straps. The micro silhouette made for a leggy moment, which was played up by the aforementioned heels, and she further accessorised with a diamond choker necklace, coordinated line bracelets on her left wrist, and earrings that crawled up her ear — all on full display due to her decades-approved updo.
Pugh is building quite the partnership with the Italian fashion house, having not only worn Valentino for the current cover of Vanity Fair [4], but also to the premiere of "The Wonder" [5] last autumn; the label's runway show [6] at Fashion Week in October; and The Fashion Awards afterparty [7] in December.
While this particular dress wasn't sheer, it was, in fact, a skin-revealing design that brings to light the 27-year-old star's applause-worthy statements about body shaming and how she handles criticism [8]. Recently, she shared with Vogue [9], "I've never been scared of what's underneath the fabric. If I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it," continuing, "Of course, I don't want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much?"
Currently styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray [10], she's embraced other early-2000s trends, like her bright red peplum [11] at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards at the beginning of the month, as well as her harlequin sequinned corset and high-waisted skirt for the opening of London Fashion Week's Harris Reed show [12].
Ahead, see Pugh's not-yet-available Valentino dress and heels from all angles, then check out the other stars who pulled out all the stops with their afterparty wardrobes at the BAFTAs [13], including Simone Ashley in Alexandre Vauthier, Anya Taylor-Joy in Jean Paul Gaultier, and Lily Allen [14] in Giambattista Valli.
