Florence Pugh made headlines at the London photocall and premiere of her new superhero movie Thunderbolts* with two daring ensembles that showcased her signature sexy and edgy style.
Known for pushing fashion boundaries and injecting an edgy touch into the typical red carpet fashion scene, Pugh never fails to capture attention with her bold and revealing outfits, demonstrating her fearlessness in making a statement on the red carpet.

Pugh is reprising her role as highly trained spy and extremely skilled assassin Yelena Belova in Thunderbolts*, the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her character first appeared in Black Widow (2021) and later in the Disney+ series Hawkeye.
Thunderbolts*, under the direction of Jake Schreier, follows an unlikely group of antiheroes compelled to unite and work together after falling into a dangerous trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
It’s scheduled to be released in the US on May 2.

Strutting the red carpet with confidence and grace, Pugh channeled her inner assassin in sleek black dresses.
From her sheer Elie Saab gown to her barely there leather dress, Pugh had a presence that could not be ignored.
Sizzling in Francesco Murano Leather Bralette, Midi Skirt, and Christian Louboutin Pumps
Florence sizzled in a two-piece black leather ensemble from Francesco Murano’s Spring 2025 collection, making an impression at the Thunderbolts* photocall held at the Corinthia Hotel.
Her captivating outfit exemplifies Murano’s innovative use of materials and knack for mixing art and fashion.
It features a tiny black leather bralette that appears incredibly tight against her chest, accented with a subtle corsetry that cinches things up. The sturdy shoulder straps are the perfect finishing touch to keep things in place.
Demi paired it with a matching leather pencil skirt that fit her like a second skin. The skirt features a high waist to enhance her figure, with boning details extending to her hips, adding even more structure and definition.
Despite my reservations about the ensemble’s fit, I must admit her appearance is hard to resist. I love how the convex hem of the bralette and the concave waist of the skirt create a sensuous cutout around Florence’s stomach. The skirt also has a thigh-high slit on one side, adding to the allure of the ensemble.

Florence looks fierce in her leather outfit, accentuated by her slicked-back wet-look hairstyle. Her makeup is flawlessly executed, featuring eyeliner, mascara, and bold lipstick that complement her overall appearance.
Pugh gave her stunning, sultry look just the right amount of sparkle, accessorizing with diamonds by Engelbert. These elegant and glittering diamonds added a glitzy touch to her appearance, elevating her style while showcasing her glamorous fashion sense.
She wore the $12,400 Absolute Creoles hoop earrings, crafted in 18k white gold with 1.98 carats of rare white brilliant-cut diamonds, and the $24,600 Infinity Loop Earrings, which feature an innovative take on the infinity sign. These are crafted in 18k white gold and set with 4.40 carats of rare white brilliant-cut diamonds.
On her manicured fingers are matching white gold and diamond rings, including the $3,900 Infinity Loop Ring, the $6,000 Cross Loop Ring, and the Legacy Knot Ring.
I love how these carefully selected accessories complement her gown; their subtle sheen contrasts beautifully with the dark tone of her outfit.

A pair of Christian Louboutin “Iriza” d’Orsay pumps in classic black leather complemented Florence Pugh’s all-black, elegant ensemble.
While I appreciate the sleek and sophisticated look of her pumps, I wish for something a bit more playful to provide contrast to her otherwise chic ensemble. Regardless, the pumps’ sharp, pointed silhouette, side cutout, and shiny leather material perfectly matched her sleek outfit, creating a cohesive aesthetic.

These pumps instantly boosted Florence’s 5ft 2 ¾ (159.4 cm) height with their elegant, tall heels. You can get them for $795 at Mytheresa.
Other stylish celebrities who have also embraced Christian Louboutin’s iconic Iriza pumps include Anne Hathaway, who paired patent leather Iriza heels with a black Christopher Kane lace dress, Emmy Rossum, who styled pink Iriza pumps with a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, and Kylie Minogue, who added a bold twist to her look with animal print Iriza pumps.
Gothic Chic in Elie Saab Lace Gown and Rene Caovilla Heels
Florence Pugh’s look for the London premiere of Thunderbolts* was a masterpiece of romance infused with gothic elegance. She chose a gorgeous black lace dress from Elie Saab’s Fall 2024 Couture collection.
The romantic gothic gown is gorgeous, blending the allure of seductive lingerie with the elegance of a red-carpet ball gown. This fusion reflects Pugh’s penchant for sexy and elegant looks. It’s cut from a see-through sheer fabric, creating the illusion of a sultry yet almost ethereal effect.
The gown’s intricate details show the meticulous crafting of Elie Saab’s artistry. Floral embroidery cascades from the torso to the voluminous floor-sweeping skirt, while strategically arranged beaded 3D black flowers provide enough coverage to make the look sophisticated.
The bodice also features horizontal striped panels, showing Florence’s stomach. It’s perfectly fitted, with a plunging sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps that enhance the dress’s sensuality. I like how the bodice embraces her curves in all the right places before cascading to a sheer skirt that flares out gracefully at the sides, creating a voluminous train that trails behind her.

Pugh’s punk-style brushed-up hair and neon orange eyeshadow contrasted with the romantic, high-fashion dress. Her theatrical makeup made a statement, and her wet-style hair added an edgy touch to her look.
She further injected her edgy aesthetic into the look with gold and black diamond jewelry from Brazilian jeweler Ara Vartanian. She wore three Inverted Black Diamond Earrings, an 18k Gold two-finger ring with Black Diamonds, an Inverted Black Diamond Bracelet, and a White Gold and Rose Gold Bracelet with Garnet, Brown Diamond, and Black Diamonds.
These elements, together with the dress, combined to produce an ensemble that was equal parts edgy and romantic, perfectly capturing Pugh’s unique sense of style.

Florence’s heels almost blended in with the intricate details of her gown, but they stood out just enough to make a statement. She wore the Rene Caovilla “Juniper” sandals, the reimagined version of the label’s iconic Cleo style.
They feature Rene Caovilla’s signature coiled snake ankle-wrap straps, this time in shiny, ridged leather with a statement crystal on the snake head, adding a touch of glitz to the shoe.
They also feature a slender strap across the toes and feet, along with a 4-inch stiletto heel, which enhances their elegance. Her shoes are available for $1,520 at Neiman Marcus.
