Florence Pugh knew it was going to become an fashion. At Valentino's couture show in Rome last July
the British-born actress of 26 was wearing a Barbie-pink dress with layers of tulle , and the most open top.
After she had a go at the gown, Pugh and designer Pierpaolo Piccioli decided to take off the lining, thereby removing any doubt about the purpose of the dress's transparentness.
"I was at ease with my petite breasts," she tells me as she sips a glass roses in the comfort of a hotel room that is located situated in the English countryside.
"And being adamant about it made people angry who thought I was comfortable."
Pugh received a flood of online vileness. "It was quite alarming how upset the people seemed," she says.
"They were so upset that I was confident and wanted to tell me that they will never flirt over me. But, they didn't." Pugh expanded on the same idea in her Instagram and criticized her body-shaming trolls
"Why do you feel so afraid of your breasts? Small? Large? Left? Right? Just one? Perhaps there's none? What. Is. So. terrifying." This post has been shared by more than 2.3 million times.
"I think I'm now in the right place in my career , where I am aware of the things I can accept and what I am able to give to others, and what I am not willing to take anymore."
People have become accustomed to this kind of unpretentious, honest authenticity from Pugh.
Since her big-screen debut in the year 2015 as a teenage girl confronting her own sexuality on The Falling, a film by Carol Morley.
"The Falling,she has built a successful career as a woman who don't want to be disregarded. In the past 7 years she's been featured in over two dozen projects
and has had breakout roles in two of the 2019 films, Ari Aster's independent horror film Midsommar
and Greta Gerwig's adaptation of the film Little Women, which later has earned the actress the Oscar award for Best Supporting Actress.
