Florence Pugh Wore Nothing Underneath Her Completely Sheer ...
If Florence Pugh is at an event, you can almost guarantee she’ll be repping the sheer trend. She did so twice Sunday night—first in a mesh corset peplum gown by Del Core for the Oscars red carpet, and then in a totally see-through white dress from Jean Paul Gaultier for the after-party.
In particular, her after-party look—which hailed from the brand’s Spring 2024 couture runway—was a romantic take on the sheer fad, which has been increasingly dominating red carpets for the past few years. Constructed out of gauzy white fabric, the column dress featured a sophisticated midi-length hemline, with accents of glamour via a structured peplum detail at the waist and a draping train bustled to the back. Simone Rocha, who served as the guest couturier for this Gaultier collection, added her signature feminine touch to the dress with wispy 3-D feathered adornments and a quasi lotus-flower pattern embroidered across the chest and skirt.
Pugh continued the see-through theme with her shoes, wearing bedazzled mesh pumps from Christian Louboutin. She topped off the frothy look with diamond Bulgari jewelry.

As fans of the actor likely already know, Pugh has no qualms about freeing the nipple. In fact, she discussed the reaction to her transparent attire in an interview for Harper’s Bazaar’s September 2022 cover story. Responding specifically to backlash against a hot-pink tulle gown she wore to Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2022 haute couture show, she said, “It was just alarming, how perturbed they were. They were so angry that I was confident, and they wanted to let me know that they would never wank over me. Well, don’t.”
Pugh added: “I was comfortable with my small breasts. And showing them like that—it aggravated [people] that I was comfortable.”

Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
