Florence Pugh joined a bevy of special guests at a cocktail party to celebrate Coach creative director Stuart Vevers‘ Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire royal investiture on Thursday in London. Coach’s chief executive officer, Todd Kahn, served as cohost for the event.
For the special occasion, Pugh turned to the ready-to-wear runway and to ongoing red carpet trends for her look. The “Thunderbolts*” actress opted for pinstripe suiting with the peekaboo bra layering trend that saw a resurgence in 2024, thanks to such celebrities as Katie Holmes, Kristen Stewart and Sydney Sweeney.
Pugh wore pieces from Coach’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, featuring a pair of wide-leg, tailored navy trousers with pinstripe detailing, an elongated coat inspired by a blazer with the same pinstripe motif, and the peekaboo bra layering piece in the same colorway and pinstripe pattern.
