Florence Pugh continues sheer Valentino dress tradition at 2024 Golden Globes: See pics
Don't worry, darling, Florence Pugh is just having fun when it comes to fashion.
The "Oppenheimer" actress wore another jaw-dropping sheer dress to the 2024 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday after she previously made waves by donning revealing clothes at Paris Fashion Week in July and again in July 2022, wearing a hot pink tulle Valentino dress.
Pugh wore a red tulle, Valentino dress with roses covering the silhouette. Rather than baring it all, the ensemble covered her breasts for a more modest take on her bold fashion.

The actress previously received backlash for donning sheer numbers at previous events. In an interview for Elle UK in August, the "Don't Worry Darling" star explained to fellow British actress Jodie Turner-Smith why she chose to wear the looks.
"When everything went down with the Valentino pink dress a year ago, my nipples were on display through a piece of fabric, and it really wound people up. It's the freedom that people are scared of; the fact I'm comfortable and happy. Keeping women down by commenting on their bodies has worked for a very long time," she said in the interview.
But Pugh said she believes the tides are turning, and people care less about others' commentary on their bodies.
"Unfortunately, we've become so terrified of the human body that we can't even look at my two little cute nipples behind fabric in a way that isn't sexual. We need to keep reminding everybody that there is more than one reason for women's bodies (to exist)," the "Dune" star said.
As someone who "always" had an interest in loud, outrageous and colorful clothing, Pugh describes herself as wanting "to be bold and make a bit of a scene." And experimenting with fashion has helped her become more confident in recent years, including red carpet events.

"The more you can enjoy it, the more (people) can see that you're enjoying it," she said of the clothes she wears. "When I wore the (sheer) dresses, every woman I walked past would say, 'You look like you're having so much fun.' And I was!"
She added, "I speak the way I do about my body because I'm not trying to hide the cellulite on my thigh or the squidge in between my arm and my boob: I would much rather lay it all out. I think the scariest thing for me are the instances where people have been upset that I've shown 'too much' of myself."
