Florence Pugh faced backlash for her fashion choice in 2022 when she was spotted enjoying some shopping in West Hollywood. The actress, aged 26 at the time, opted for a boho-inspired look, one deemed "daring" as she went braless in spaghetti straps. Confidently flaunting her curves while freeing the nipple, Florence sizzled in her midi number as she wore boots, but she was headed for drama as users online reacted. While some celebrated her feminine-strong display, others shamed her for it, even saying that the "obsession" with her going braless was her own "fault."

Scroll for the photo. Hitting up Fred Segal, Florence showed off her curvy frame in a very clingy, blush pink dress with a knee length.
Rocking a low neckline and wearing nothing beneath her dress, the Don't Worry Darling star flashed her chest through those flimsy fabrics, adding heeled black boots with a platform, plus a black sweater wrapped around her waist.

Rocking her light locks down and cut into a long bob, Florence wore her signature nose ring, layering gold necklaces for a further flourish and matching them to her bangles and watch. The Hollywood star clutched her phone in one hand, slinging a monogrammed Gucci purse over one shoulder as she upped her designer game. The images quickly gathered up comments as The Daily Mail published them.
Topping replies, one fan challenged the outlet's "braless" headline, alleging that The Daily Mail has a "creepy fascination" with the word. Bringing Florence into the equation, another replied: "It's her fault for going out like that. What self-respecting woman goes out like this? She was bound to get stares and comments."

Another fan, meanwhile, said that Florence Pugh doesn't "need" a bra. The actress has personally addressed being what she calls "flat-chested." something she made 2022 headlines for after braving a totally sheer, hot pink dress for the Valentino Haute Couture Show.
"I’m happy with all of the ‘flaws’ that I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14," she wrote on Instagram, adding: "So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny tits’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested.'"

Continuing, Florence Pugh added: "I’ve lived in my body for a long time. I’m fully aware of my breast size and am not scared of it."
The post, which reminded fans of Florence's ambassador status with Valentino, has now topped 2 million likes. Singer Ariana Grande, actress Gal Gadot, and former Disney star Dove Cameron left celebrity likes.
