The Oppenheimer star, 29, wowed in a candid beach shot uploaded on Saturday, showcasing her curves and her confidence while winning fans over. Displaying her shapely figure in an animal-print swimsuit, Florence lounged around sands on her back, looking happy and relaxed as she caught the eye with her body.

Florence Pugh Stuns In Animal-Print Bikini

Scroll for the photo. Plonked on her back and solidly in chill mode, Florence flaunted her shapely waistline and legs in a minuscule swimsuit, modeling low-rise briefs and a skimpy top as she flashed her cleavage on light sands.

The Valentino ambassador opted out of a glam pose, instead going for all things relaxed as she wowed in a black-and-brown bikini with a chest peephole forming a cut-out.

Showing off a short, buzz-cut hairdo as she went fuss-free with zero makeup on, Florence proved she's a natural beauty, lounging around barefoot, on a striped towel, and with a cushion propping her head up. She added an anklet and gemstone necklace, also wearing silver hoop earrings. "Miss Florence Pugh," a caption read.

"Love seeing her," one fan replied. "Hotter than the Texas sun," another said. A third called the Don't Worry Darling star "so beautiful."

That See-Through, Braless Dress

Florence Pugh is known for flaunting her figure and is arguably one of the founding members of the 2020s Free the Nipple movement in Hollywood. In 2022, she made headlines for slipping her curves into this hot pink dress for the Valentino Haute Couture Show, modeling a tulle gown with a wispy feel, a cinched waist, and matching platform heels. Exposing her chest while braless, she turned heads in her nipple-baring look, also making headlines for defending her fashion choice.

Doing It All Over Again In 2023

Florence was back for more just one year later as she wowed in this floaty, see-through gown, once again modeling a Valentino look.

“Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing,” she stated about her 2022 look, adding: “I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.”

She did, however, note the level of backlash the dress sparked, including the "vulgar" comments she received from men. Fellow lovers of the sheer trend include fellow actress Dakota Johnson, supermodel Kendall Jenner, and SI Swim star and model, Brooks Nader.
