A Vision in White: Florence Pugh Dazzles at BAFTAs 2024 Afterparty
Florence Pugh lit up the room when she arrived at the BAFTAs 2024 afterparty Sunday evening, the pinnacle of old Hollywood glamour in a divine white lace-paneled dress and oversized feather coat. The Dune: Part Two star floated into Chiltern Firehouse in an asymmetric mini dress with Gianvito Rossi sandals, her platinum tresses sweeping back in retro waves. Silver star earrings by Maria Tash and a septum ring added modern edge, but make no mistake – Ms. Pugh looked every inch the screen goddess.
It was a flawless transformation only hours after she graced the red carpet in full-on drama queen mode, sweeping a Harris Reed black cape over a corseted silver gown. The custom couture moment earned her a spot on every best-dressed list, but Pugh was just warming up. The actress has been orchestrating showstopper looks throughout awards season as anticipation builds for Dune’s highly-awaited sequel. A goddess in golden sequins at the London premiere last week, she thanked fans profusely while commemorating the occasion with her beloved grandmother.
She elevated her frame with strappy white high-heels and showed off her chest in the incredibly flattering, low-cut ensemble.Over her shoulders Pugh wore a feathered cover up, and accessorized with a pair of purple lens sunglasses. Her blonde hair was swept back away from her face and pinned with a side part.
“Having Granny Pat on the carpet is the gift that just keeps giving,” Pugh gushed on Instagram. “Her smile when she trotted on has been firmly mentally recorded in my mind forever. It’s such a beautiful feeling knowing everyone also thinks she’s a star.”
At 28, the ascendant star has handled her meteoric rise over the past few years with preternatural poise. “I’m genuinely allowing it to soak in and I spend the most of the next day just reminiscing about how beautiful and utterly barmy these moments in life are,” she shared. Sunday evening was no exception as Pugh enthralled with old school elegance then let loose with beaming Hannah Waddingham and Rosamund Pike as the champagne flowed.
The actress shows no signs of slowing down, with several high-profile projects lined up after Dune including Oppenheimer with Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt. No doubt she’ll be gracing many more red carpets and afterparties in head-turning style. For now, she leaves behind the image of a radiant starlet in white, reminding us that today’s ingenues can summon retro magic at will.
