Florence Pugh made a dramatic arrival at the U.K. premiere of “Oppenheimer” on Thursday in London, wearing a dress by Valentino Couture.
The actress donned a rust-orange gown with a plunging neckline, a ruched bodice and waist, side cutouts and a voluminous skirt with an elegant train. She accessorized the look with diamond hoop earrings and two diamond rings from Tiffany & Co.
WWD characterized Valentino’s fall 2023 couture collection as simplicity and grandeur. “I wanted to do a collection which is more spontaneous,” Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli explained in a preview to WWD at the Valentino salon on Place Vendôme during Paris Couture Week earlier this month. “I wanted to freeze those moments of lightness and movement in construction and clothes that are looking easy, simple.”
To create her look, Pugh worked with her longtime stylist Rebecca Corbin Murray, who also works with Salma Hayek, Priyanka Chopra and Simone Ashley.
