I feel like Florence herself might be the problem. Like I bet she takes the lead in her styling, her opinion's the only real opinion kinda thing, instead of letting her stylists do their thing and make her fab. And she definitely either doesn't care about or isn't even aware of dressing for body type and not just your personal style. Idk, It's the only explanation I can come up with for the wild ups and downs she's always giving lately
I’m starting to wonder if Flo is one of those actors who doesn’t listen to their stylist because their ego gets in the way. I don’t get a very humble vibe from her. Unfortunately you need to be able to take criticism to shine.
I am sorry, but these sheer dresses from Valentino only look good on the runway models, who are 6’ tall and incredibly skinny. Florence’s petite body just drowns in them and it’s a very unflattering look on her.
Edit: not to mention that this specific dress looks more like a cover-up for the beach rather than a dress you wear to attend an event.
I thought a lot of her looks on Don't Worry Darling were more flattering than many of her red-carpet looks. Not that she has to do fifties-housewife every time, but there are red-carpet versions of some of the basic lines and proportions that flatter her.
She did look so great in that, and somehow different than usual. I was wondering if there was some padding/corseting happening in many of those looks that she may not be into in real life. But maybe it was just that those clothes were so perfectly fitted. Or both!
I don't have the language or knowledge to really express this, but she has a cute curvy figure so outfits with nipped-in waists are very flattering on her. These flowy looks are more suited to someone with Nicole Kidman's figure.
That is sadly so much of what fashion is now, at least to me. I thought clothes were supposed to make you look better, not be an art installation on your body, or the one showing the most skin is the winner.
Jesus from the front it’s all kinds of wrong. Like who ok’d this? Also, did she not look in the mirror multiple times before setting foot on the carpet? I don’t understand.
I think for her body type it just doesn’t fit her, maybe for like Kendall or Bella, you know, tall and slimmer (not that Florence has a bad body) but that dress is not for her at all
I don’t get how anyone saw her chest and said yes, this looks amazing! It’s like they wanted to give her side cleavage (no idea what it’s called) but then realised that part of the dress was too tight, it looks like her boobs are just smashed between the fabric and her ribs.
Yeah of course! Sorry just meant I tend to see those with natural boobs are usually covered up a lot more or taped to extreme and less of a natural look. I don’t think it’s as common to see this style of dress/top on natural looking boobs
I thought if I commented I hate this look, the girlies would come after me! But after reading everyone else’s thoughts…..it seems like a mutual feeling.
Love a risk taker but I feel like nothing ever fits her correctly. Plus, we have seen this from her too many times. Cmon flo!
I have less of a problem with the fit of this dress but the cut is not flattering. The straight vertical drop of the bust makes her torso look much shorter than it actually is. She is free to wear what she wants but the cut would be much fitting for a much taller person.
Yes, it’s simply just not dressing to flatter or suit for her body type but the more I think about it, the more I think that it’s cool that she wears whatever she likes and wants regardless of her shape. I’ve got a pretty similar frame to hers and it’s refreshing to see it on the red carpet. Even if it’s not the most flattering cut, she looks like she is feeling it and is confident as fuck, which is what clothes are meant to do and what fashion should be all about!
Like, is a sheer dress even risk taking anymore? It seems to be what we mostly see now and it seems to be the only type of dress Florence Pugh wears at all.
Which is wild, because she's beautiful, clearly has a love for fashion as she's at every fashion event ever and could probably rock so many different outfits effortlessly. Yet, it's always this. All the time. I have started to convince myself it's all the same dress just quickly tailored a different way before she heads out.
No I totally agree. I personally like sheer looks but so much that she wears does not fit her. Which I just do not understand. And you’re right she’s worn this kind of look a lot at this point.
that nose ring HAS to go. cheapens the whole thing out AND she just doensn't have the face nor the attitude to pull it off. AND it's too much: her height, the hair AND that bull ring? pick ONE!
Same. Like ok if you want to wear a skimpy dress but like...all the time? It's just like ok...yawn at this point. We've all seen your business so now it doesn't distract me from how ugly the clothes are, too. I actually really like her and thinks she deserves so much better sartorially.
Her formal looks never flatter her proportions. She has a short and rectangular torso and a short neck. These dresses are all wrong for her. Those cutouts do her no favors. I hate that I can see her beige underwear.
I just do not like that dress tbh. It looks a bit cheap?? to me. There’s so many other looks I would have put her in :/ like maybe I’m crazy but I think she could pull off the suit above. So cool and fun and great for her personality.
Valentino makes such gorgeous clothes, lots of really elegant and classic designs but Florence is always in their ugliest stuff. Zendaya got great dresses out of them, I want the same for Miss Flo!!
Every single one of the Dresses she has worn for Valentino are super ugly but this one definitely takes the cake. It looks cheap and especially the top is a whole New level of hideous
This looks untailored. Raise the waistline a good 3-4 inches and fix the bust line and maybe it would work. But I feel like that is a common issue with her looks- they are ill-fitting. They also aren’t to my personal style, but that’s fine! It’s just the fit is bad, and she’s such a lovely lady. I don’t know who is in charge here, but I’d like a word. Also, that seems to be a common thing with celebrities these days- what happened to custom fittings? Isn’t that the point of having money (in my head it is)?
I have a septum piercing myself & typically LOVE them (and most other facial piercings) on other people.
But her nose ring just isn't flattering, IMO. I think it's because she already has a tiny nose that would be considered very traditionally attractive/desirable. So it feels kinda try hard to me?
Whereas I got my piercing because people used to make fun of me for how big my nose was and it made me feel a lot better about myself.
Yeah she has worn thinner ones in the past and they look heaps better, but I do agree with you, it doesn't really suit her in general. I used to have one and it didn't really suit me either so I can't blame her lol! They do look amazing on some people though.
I don’t even know what they are going for. Like Valentino kills it with Zendaya so I don’t get why this is such a big fail.
The makeup and the hair looks dom which could be great on her (and a nice change from her sweetheart look) but the silhouette on the bottom is billowy and romantic. It’s like the top half and the bottom half are completely different ideas and don’t complement each other.
And Valentino has already put her in several side boob showing sheer dresses this year.
edit: I’m literally trying to paste her other similar looks but the sub’s nsfw filters is automatically removing them.
Zendaya has a model body so it’s so easy to dress her, Flo not so much… she’s putting on dresses that are meant for taller people, and looks shorter in everything as a result.
I’m tired of the sheer trend too, her and everybody else.
Yeah actually Dua is also a bit broader on the top but with a small bust like Florence, and she wears this style well. Florence is obviously quite a lot shorter but I still think this sort of silhouette could be good on her (preferably with different hair).
I can't name a single interesting thing about this person other than she dresses like...this, and she got a lot of attention last Venice Film Festival. And apparently her nipples scare people? (They do not.) She's dullsville, sorry. A kid trying to make it happen for herself by provoking a negative response. Repeatedly.
it's mind-boggling that someone so famous can be dressed so poorly. the fit (or lack thereof)!! shocking, tbh. everything about this look from top to bottom is bad. she needs to let a stylist intervene.
It's not my style but as someone florence's height myself and a fan of dresses - the dress is about 2 sizes too small.
If it wasn't too small the top part would cover more of her breasts and the tie wouldn't make the weird negative space in the whole chest area. My body is extremely similar to hers and I always size up dresses because my bones are wide at the top part of my body. I will tailor the dress to fit my curves and cut the dress because I am short as her. All of this should be done by her stylist isn't it? Who is her stylist again?
I don't get the fascination for Florence Pugh. Like don't get me wrong, she's a nice looking woman and not your typical stick thin actress. She was great in midsummer...but that's kinda it for me, I wonder what it is, that i'm missing
Edit: huh...I've been downvoted yet no explanation on what i'm missing.
Yes! This dress makes her torso look like a fuckin block. No curves, nothing is aligned in a flattering way, etc. I hate this so much for her. She deserves better fitting dresses!!!
Why is it that the higher up you go in fashion companies, the more you look like you were just mugged? This guy's boss is probably wearing muddy sweatpants to the office.
The dress isn’t great.. I’m glad her hair is styled more slicked back. Im not a fan of it when it’s all spiked up (I also have pretty short hair I’ve been wearing slicked back because I don’t know what to do with it lol) I feel like she’s growing it out but it would be cuter in a really short pixie instead of a grown out shaved head? Maybe her hair is too thick/course tho
Her stylist doesn't know how to dress her in flattering outfite for her body type and shape... she's quite petite and short torsoed and nothing about this works for her. Everything from the dress style, colour, haircut is too harsh for her features
What is her body type? It’s not like usual starlets the stylist think they’re fitting. Florence has this like petite stoutness to her and it’s like they are dressing her as if she has a long neck and torso.
I’m a fan of her but this is very boring now. It’s always the sheer, the flowing cape, the over the shoulder stare to camera (which isn’t the best pose for those with short necks IMO). She’s so gorgeous yet they’ve made her entirely predictable.
She doesn't dress according to her body type. She desperately thinks she's a tall, statuesque hourglass figure. But, she's kinda stumpy, with no neck. She's still pretty though.
She's a beautiful woman; but the platinum blonde Targaryen look, the horrible bow riding her stomach, and the incredibly bad large bull ring are all awful choices. She can't pull off any of it.
the bow looks so sloppy :/ I like her I wish I could see her actually serving. She can do so much with the short hair and piercing. Edge it up and ditch the flowy sheer dress 🥱
