Florence Pugh brought her movie-star style to the Oscars.
Stepping onto the red carpet outside of Los Angeles’s Dolby Theatre tonight, the actor made a showstopping arrival at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony in a look pulled straight from Del Core’s Spring/Summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The magnificent silver piece features a sculptural sheer corset dripping in shiny waterlike beads. The hem of the corset also includes a curvy peplum detail, before extending into a long embellished skirt with a subtle train.
Pugh topped off the look with Bulgari jewelry—the most prominent being a Serpenti wraparound diamond necklace.
Although Pugh isn’t personally nominated tonight, she is part of the ensemble for Oppenheimer, which is leading the ceremony with 13 nominations in total, including for Best Picture. In the Christopher Nolan–directed film, she plays Jean Tatlock, the former girlfriend of physicist and “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Pugh raved about working with the acclaimed director in an interview with BBC Radio 1.
“Working with Christopher Nolan was quite possibly one of the most thrilling experiences in a different way, partly because he works with professionals. He is a professional,” she said. “But his dedication to the craft of filmmaking and old filmmaking is just magical to watch. To just watch every single crew member on that set work so hard for him, to get his approval.And not like in a weird way, but like everybody knows who they’re working for and everybody’s proud of being there. Everybody has so much pride in their own work and so what that does is it means that everybody is constantly trying to be better the next day. And I’ve never seen that feeling on set before.”
Besides Oppenheimer, Pugh has also been busy promoting Dune: Part Two, in which she plays Princess Irulan opposite Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides and Zendaya as Chani. The cast was recently on a buzzy press tour, and both Pugh and Zendaya captured the public’s imagination with a slate of sci-fi inspired red-carpet looks.
