Florence Pugh’s Latest Alex Babsky Portraits Prove Her ‘East of Eden’ Press Tour Is a Masterclass in Beauty
Awards season and film promotion cycles tend to blur together into an endless string of red carpets, but every so often a single collaborator manages to make each stop feel distinct. Few partnerships in Hollywood right now are doing that quite as consistently as Florence Pugh’s ongoing work with makeup artist Alex Babsky.
Babsky has become something of a fixture across nearly every major Pugh appearance this fall, building a visual throughline across award shows, premieres, and photocalls that’s turned her press tour into its own kind of rolling style story. His latest work with her is no exception.
New portraits of Pugh, credited to Babsky, have surfaced showing the actress in two distinct looks: one a close-up in a rust-toned, ruffled blouse with her hair styled in loose waves, and another featuring a richly patterned metallic coat layered over a crisp white collar. The images continue a run of striking beauty work that’s defined Pugh’s appearances throughout September.
The timing lines up with an especially busy stretch for Pugh. She made her Emmy Awards debut on September 14 as a presenter, walking the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in a dramatic lilac Vivienne Westwood gown, styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray with hair by Hyungsun Ju and makeup by Babsky.
Just days later, she turned heads again at Netflix’s ‘East of Eden’ screening at The London West Hollywood, wearing an archival Rodarte Spring 2017 piece paired with Bulgari jewelry, once again with Babsky handling her makeup. That same creative team also came together earlier this month for her London Q&A appearance promoting the series, where she wore a heavily pleated Rodarte look with matching Bulgari tubogas earrings.

What’s stood out across this stretch isn’t just the clothes themselves, but the consistency of the team assembling each look. Corbin-Murray, Hyungsun Ju, and Babsky have worked together on Pugh’s styling repeatedly this year, building a cohesive aesthetic across everything from red carpet gowns to more intimate portrait sessions like these latest images.
That kind of long-term creative partnership has become increasingly common among A-list talent, allowing a signature style to develop across an entire promotional cycle rather than treating each event as an isolated moment. For Pugh, it’s helped turn her ‘East of Eden’ rollout into a genuinely cohesive fashion narrative.
These portraits arrive as Pugh continues promoting Netflix’s ‘East of Eden,’ the limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel in which she stars as the manipulative Cathy Ames. With the series’ October 1 premiere approaching, expect her press appearances and the accompanying beauty content to keep ramping up in the coming days.

Given how much attention her recent looks have already generated, from her Emmys red carpet debut to her London screening appearance, these latest Babsky portraits feel like another deliberate beat in a much larger promotional rhythm. Pugh’s fall has become as much a fashion story as a professional one, and that pattern shows no signs of slowing down before the series actually premieres.
