Florence Pugh is a master of the red carpet. But the East of Eden actress just had a major mishap that happened to involve Jenna Ortega.
Florence, 30, walked the red carpet at the Klara and the Sun premiere on Thursday, October 15, and accidentally ran into Jenna, 24. The Oscar-nominated actress poked Jenna in the face with her gown – which was embellished with sculptural shoulders.
Florence, who wore a pastel blue Rodarte Spring/Summer 2026 gown with embroidered floral details, immediately went to apologize to the Wednesday actress, and the sweet moment was captured by dozens of photographers on the carpet at the 70th BFI London Film Festival at BFI Southbank in London.

On the carpet, Jenna stunned in a gold Torlowei slip dress. The lingerie gown was crafted from glossy silk and featured contrasting black lace embroidery adorned on the bodice. Delicate floral embellishments cascaded down the skirt for a romantic finish. The gown featured a figure-hugging silhouette with a plunging neckline and razor-thin spaghetti straps. Jenna completed the look with a yellow lace cap.
