Few fashionistas pull off sartorial statement moments as stupendously as Florence Pugh.
The British actress has had more iconic fashion moments than we can count. From billowing capes to see-through sequin skirts and a major 'flex on your ex' moment, the 27-year-old knows a thing or two about capturing attention with her outfits, both on and off the red carpet.
Her look on Wednesday evening for Maison Valentino's Fall/Winter Haute Couture show at Chateau de Chantilly in France, may seem like nothing out of the ordinary for the Don't Worry Darling star - freeing the nipple and buzz cuts are in fact part of her signature aesthetic. But this one was special, because it sent a clear message to her critics who once bodyshamed her, and her look was nothing short of magical.

She paired it with dainty earrings and a black pair of Valentino's signature platform heels. Despite thinking her ombre pink buzz cut (the most adventurous Barbiecore moment so far, we must say) may have be the standout feature of her look, Pugh bared all and left her breasts on show through her transparent gown.

She also said it was: "interesting to watch... just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman's body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see".

Her incredible dress last night was as mesmerising as it was loud, and not just for sartorial satisfaction.
