Actress Florence Pugh turned heads when she attended the Valentino Haute Couture fashion show this week in a flowy see-through gown from the famed design house.

The 27-year-old proudly wore the transparent lavender dress at the Paris Fashion Week event on July 5 – and did not care if she was dangerously close to freeing her nipples or flashing her underwear for photographers.

The Don’t Worry Darling star – the film is currently streaming on BINGE – teamed the sheer number with sky-high black wedges and a black studded purse, as she walked outside the Château de Chantilly venue, a historic 14th-century estate located just north of Paris.

This wasn’t the first time Pugh wore a super-sheer dress to a fashion event. This time last year, the actress donned another nipple-baring Valentino look: a bright pink tulle gown which exposed her nipples at a fashion show in Italy.

The British actress was expecting to receive some backlash over her bold outfit choice, but she was still floored by the negative criticism.

“Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be.”

She concluded by telling her critics to “grow up” and “respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans” as it’s never OK to comment on someone else’s body.

In a separate Vogue interview, the Little Women star doubled-down on her stance, explaining that she got her confidence from growing up in a household that was open to nudity.

“I’ve never been scared of what’s underneath the fabric,” she told the fashion glossy back in January.

“If I’m happy in it, then I’m gonna wear it. Of course, I don’t want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much?”
