Florence Pugh Elevates Lingerie-Inspired Rodarte Dress With Sky-High Platform Heels
Her goth-chic look is actually perfect for the holidays.


Florence Pugh has always known how to subvert our expectations. The We Live in Time actress has been a fashion inspiration for as long as she's been famous, and her recent styling choices for a screening of the aforementioned film at the Ham Yard Hotel in London on December 20, 2024, proves no different.
Sporting a black, lingerie-inspired Rodarte dress with a lacy peekaboo cutout and peasant-styled top, the simple dress and its intimate, subtle details evoke an edgy, gothic-chic aesthetic that feels perfect for the holiday season.
Florence Pugh paired her dress with sky-high, peep-toe heels embellished with black crystals, tousled, slicked-back hair, and simple black earrings.
The actress—styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray (a frequent fashion collaborator of hers)—is a huge fan of lace-forward numbers, having worn similar styles over the years, including in support of her latest film.
At one point, her co-star Andrew Garfield even brought out a cardboard cut-out of Pugh in a belted lacy dress to the BFI premiere of the film (which she could not attend due to scheduling conflicts)—a look she wore at a New York screening of the film days earlier and elevated with
Andrew Garfield is the goofy feminist ally we deserve.
Pugh has always dared to bare in thoughtful, interesting, and unexpected ways—be it her sheer, disco-inspired two piece or this flowy, completely backless gown, both appropriately worn for the Dune: Part Two press tour—that take her looks to the next level.
And who could forget the fancy hotpants she wore to the 2023 Oscars? If anything were a signature of Pugh's constantly forward-looking fashion choices, it's elevating unexpected details and sensuality in a way that feels fresh and new.
Upending expectations time and time again: the Flo Pugh way.
For fans of this particularly sensual number, a similar iteration of it is available for 30% off on the Rodarte site.
