“It’s the freedom that people are scared of; the fact I’m comfortable and happy.”
Florence Pugh nearly broke the internet last year by simply donning a sheer pink Valentino gown to the fashion house’s Fall 2022 couture show. Over a year later, the Oscar nominee reflected on the criticism she received from that dress in a new interview with Elle, who bestowed the “British Icon” title upon her for their 2023 Style Awards.
Speaking with fellow British actor Jodie Turner-Smith, Pugh remarked that she’s become so open and accepting of her body because she doesn’t like trying to hide her imperfections, but the “scariest thing” about that is when people become upset that she’s “shown ‘too much’ of myself,” pointing to her sheer moment as an example.
