Florence Pugh is fighting back against her haters that said she was ‘vulgar’ for wearing a sheer Valentino dress.
The “Don’t Worry Darling” actress attended the Valentino Haute Couture fashion show in Rome, Italy, on Saturday, clad in a very Barbiecore hot pink dress that happened to be see-through up top.
Shortly after the show, Pugh, 26, started receiving a wave of negative comments. So, she instantly took to Instagram, to defend her look.
“Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing,” she began.
“I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.”
She continued, “It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be. Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me. I’m happy with all of the ‘flaws’ that I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14.”
Pugh proceeded to open up about some of the offensive remarks she received.
“So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny tits’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested’. I’ve lived in my body for a long time. I’m fully aware of my breast size and am not scared of it,” she wrote.
The star went on to share that she grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, and curvy women. Pugh said, “It has always been my mission in this industry to say ‘f—k it and f—k that’ whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive.”
She added one last jab at her haters, “Grow up. Respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans.”
