Florence Pugh Channels Gothic Glamour At Dracula Opening Night
Florence Pugh served gothic Dracula glamour as she made a striking appearance at the opening night of Cynthia Erivo’s new West End residency earlier this week. The actress came out in support of Erivo as she embarks on her ambitious theatrical run at London’s Noël Coward Theatre. With Pugh’s red carpet appearances being few and far between in recent months, she stunned crowds with a vampy, all-black look, which also gave a subtle nod to the Year of the Horse.
A breakdown of the look
The We Live in Time actress channelled full Dracula glamour in a breathtaking sheer black Patou number. A masterclass in detail, the dress featured gothic Victorian-era elements, as well as a velvet velour print of different animals, perhaps making an understated tribute to the Year of the Horse.
Styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, the look was completed with diamond drop earrings and a bold red lip, while he hair was swept back in an up-do. As method-dressing remains the dominant fashion trend in Hollywood, Pugh took it one step further, fully committing to the gothic Dracula aesthetic for a project that isn’t even hers.
