Florence Pugh arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 Academy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles, wearing a statement-making ensemble.
The actress wore a stone-colored ensemble with a sweetheart-neckline taffeta top that flowed into an elegant long train with voluminous balloon sleeves. Underneath the gown she wore black hot pants. Pugh’s look was from Valentino’s fall 2022 couture collection.
Valentino’s fall 2022 couture collection was characterized by WWD as “dreamy.” “Beauty is resilience, not escapism, and creativity is the only means to contrast dictatorial decisions,” creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli said during an interview with WWD.
