Florence Pugh just turned heads in a major way when she arrived at the 2023 Academy Awards. Serving up some seriously daring sartorial flair, the Don't Worry Darling actress wowed in a beige Valentino gown with a daring front split.

The 27-year-old star coordinated with the 95th annual ceremony's special champagne coloured carpet in her strapless Valentino AW22 Couture gown. Boasting oversized puff sleeves and a dramatic full skirt featuring a high split, the quirky dress was paired with tiny black hot pants underneath, ensuring Florence earned her place among the best dressed stars of the night.

Florence, who was styled by Rebecca Corbin Murray, added some extra edge to her look thanks to a pair of suede platform heels.

It was the British star's incredible hair and beauty look which really took centre stage, however. The Midsommer star opted for a silver nose ring and a matte beauty blend including a taupe lip and strong brow, while a silver choker adorned her neck.
