Florence Pugh debuts wild new look in thigh-split dress – with incredible backless detail

Florence Pugh has been serving looks since the beginning of the Thunderbolts* press tour, fluctuating from princess-like flowing dresses, like the ethereal mint green McQueen gown, to bondage-inspired pieces like The Attico’s short dress that she shared enthusiastically on her Instagram profile. And both were worn at the Los Angeles Premiere of Marvel’s next blockbuster.

On Wednesday, the star of Little Women strode out in New York looking stunning in a jaw-dropping long leather dress. The event was a special screening organised in New York for the imminent release of Marvel’s Thunderbolts*, on 2 May.

Florence Pugh looked unreal in a leather dress during a recent appearance in New York CityWe always love her style choices but when the actress stepped out in the Big Apple in a long leather dress, with a halterneck, a vertiginous slit showing off her legs and an open back with two buckle-like straps, it was clear that she was channelling her character, badass Russian assassin Yelena Belova.

The actress elevated the statement dress with a pair of higher-than-the-sky Christian Louboutin stilettos (what else?), and understated silver jewellery.

The chic dress boasted an incredible backless designTo balance the boldness, her glam look was soft, with a subtle grey smoky eye and natural lips, while her hair was styled in elegant waves. After shaving her blonde locks off for the role of Almut in We Live in Time, Florence has been sporting some fabulous pixie and short haircuts that enhance her charming features but also make her look more mature and confident.

Earlier in the tour, the star wore a leather ensemble by Francesco Murano at the UK photocall for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* at The Corinthia Hotel in London.

The We Live In Time star also wowed in a two-piece lookThe look featured a corset-inspired leather bralette and a high-waisted pencil skirt with a thigh-high slit. The look was pulled together by the always-present classic black pumps and Florence’s preferred silver jewellery.
