Florence Pugh brings Old Hollywood Glamour trend to TIFF!

Florence Pugh proved she's a true blue fashionista at the Toronto International Film Festival as she arrived for the premiere of her latest film, We Live in Time. On Friday (Sep. 6), Pugh made heads turn in a show-stopping Tamara Ralph ball gown in a soft pastel pink.

The full-skirt satin dress featured crinkled details cascading across the wide skirt, giving the ensemble an ethereal feel. The gown’s bodice, a fitted ruching design, wrapped in a crisscross pattern, emphasized her waist, while the deep sweetheart neckline added a bold touch. A black leather bow and matching rose at the centre added the perfect hint of drama.

The Oscar-nominated actress rocked a short bob in a sleek, polished style with soft curls. Keeping up with the Old Hollywood Glamour aesthetic, Pugh opted for a pale pink eyeshadow, a subtle cat-eye, and rosy pink lip gloss. For accessories, she opted for diamond earrings and a silver septum ring.


We Live in Time also stars Andrew Garfield. In the film, directed by John Crowley, Pugh plays Almut, "a woman whose unexpected encounter with Garfield’s character, Tobias, leads them on a journey through love and time".

"Almut and Tobias are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives," reads the official synopsis. The film is set to release in theatres on Oct. 11.

In a Vanity Fair interview, Pugh opened up about her decision to shave her head to portray a character struggling with cancer in the film. While director John Crowley suggested wigs as a possibility, Pugh was adamant about fully committing to the character.

"I just stopped him mid-sentence," she recalled in the interview. "'John, no one can play a character like this in a movie like this and not do the thing that is needed to be done,'” she said. “And if you don’t want to do it, I believe that you shouldn’t be doing a story like this.”
