‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Star Florence Pugh Trades Her Signature Crop for Flowing Waves in Dreamy New White Lace Photos
Florence Pugh has become one of Hollywood’s most fearless fashion stars, and her new photos are a reminder of how easily she moves between looks. Over the past few years, the actress has built a reputation for sheer, statement-making outfits, most famously the hot-pink Valentino gown she wore to the brand’s couture show in Rome in 2022.
She has leaned into white lace more than once. At the 2023 Elle Style Awards in London, where she was honored with the British Icon Award, Pugh wore an ivory mesh halterneck gown with floral lace appliqués, and at CinemaCon in 2025 she promoted ‘Thunderbolts*’ in a high-neck white mini dress with see-through lace panels.
The biggest surprise may be her hair. Pugh wears long, voluminous honey-blonde waves in the shots, a noticeable departure from the pixie cuts and short bobs she wore at many past events, including the slicked-back pixie from the 2023 Elle Style Awards and the sleek bob she styled for the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
In one frame, she gazes straight at the camera with soft, warm-toned makeup, while in the other she turns in profile with her hand resting in her hair. The occasion behind the photos wasn’t specified in the post, but fans hardly needed context, with one reply simply declaring they wanted to marry her.
Pugh’s love of transparent fabrics has sparked conversation before. After her 2022 Valentino gown drew criticism, she responded publicly by questioning why people were so scared of breasts and saying she had come to terms with her body.

She later told Vogue she has never been afraid of what’s underneath the fabric, explaining that if she’s happy in an outfit, she’ll wear it. That confidence has become a defining part of her public image.
A lace trend report from earlier this year described Pugh as bringing fearless transparency to the fabric, placing her alongside stars like Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega as leaders of the romantic lace moment.
The actress has stayed firmly in the fashion spotlight this year. She’s a Valentino ambassador, and The Blast reported in May that she fronted a Max Mara campaign shot in Rome, where she posed in the brand’s camel-colored outerwear.

According to Getty Images, she also appeared at the West End opening night of ‘Dracula’ in February, the Netflix Upfront in May, and the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14.
The new photos arrive as Pugh prepares for one of the biggest releases of her career. She returns as Yelena Belova in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, which opens in the US on December 18, as part of a massive ensemble that includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth.
With the Marvel press tour on the horizon, fans can likely expect plenty more standout fashion moments from Pugh in the coming months. If these dreamy lace shots are any indication, she’s ready to keep surprising audiences.
