Florence Pugh wore a dramatic orange gown by Harris Reed at Nina Ricci to the BAFTAs in London on Sunday night, looking every bit her red carpet-stealing self, nose ring, voluminous train and eye-catching colour to boot. But that wasn’t the British actress’ only show-stopping wardrobe moment of the night.
Following the awards ceremony, Pugh changed into a sparkling pink micro minidress made for an after-party. The piece, by Pugh’s go-to fashion house, Valentino, was covered in pink sequins with a low-cut neckline made from silver sequins and a bow outlining her bust.
Pugh wore the piece with a matching pair of metallic silver platform Mary Jane heels and carried a small sparkling Valentino silver purse on a long chain. Around her wrist, Pugh wore a matching bracelet and she appeared to be wearing the same diamond strand around her neck as she did earlier in the night, keeping her hair in its statement up-do, too.
Apparently, following the BAFTAs, the 27-year-old first attended the 2023 British Vogue And Tiffany & Co. party at popular London restaurant Annabel’s, but the Daily Mail reports she was also spotted at Chiltern Firehouse for the Netflix afterparty — and wasn’t seen returning to her hotel until 8:45 AM the next morning. Iconic.
Pugh was out sans a plus one (except, of course, if you count the equally stylish Jodie Turner-Smith), but earlier in the week, on Valentine’s Day, she was spotted hand-in-hand with photographer Charlie Gooch. It’s the first person Pugh has been romantically linked to since confirming her split with her longtime boyfriend, Scrubs‘ Zach Braff, in August last year.
At the time, Pugh said of her and Braff’s split, “We’ve been trying to do this separation without the world knowing, because it’s been a relationship that everybody has an opinion on. We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we’re not together. So we’ve done that.”
Pugh also recently addressed the drama surrounding Don’t Worry Darling, the film she starred in alongside Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde (who also directed it). In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said, “Ideally I don’t really want to be going down the Don’t Worry Darling conversation because this whole release for The Wonder has been so positive. And I’ve been really excited to talk about that.”
She continued, “I don’t really feel the need to go into the nitty-gritty details of Don’t Worry Darling. So if it’s okay, I’ll probably just let that one sit.”
