Florence Pugh Dazzles in Dramatic Red Carpet Styles for 'East of Eden'

Florence Pugh captivated at the BAFTA screening of ‘East of Eden’ in London with two strikingly different, yet equally dramatic, red carpet looks. First, she arrived in a voluminous, operatic black ruffled taffeta Rodarte gown from the fall 2026 collection, featuring oversized petal sleeves and a full, ruched skirt. The dress, designed by Rodarte, was expertly balanced by a dramatically cinched waist, allowing Pugh to move freely despite the gown’s extravagance.

A Spectacle of Ruffles and Gems

The gown was further elevated by a statement Bvlgari necklace boasting a nearly 30-carat rubellite center stone, surrounded by 68 marquise and pavé-set diamonds and onyx details. Pugh complemented the bold jewelry with a matching ruby lip and flowed hair.

Shift to Sheer Elegance

For the Q&A session, Pugh transitioned to a slinky, sheer Collina Strada fall 2026 dress—a black number adorned with a vibrant multi-colored floral print. Despite the shift from gothic ruffles to a more contemporary, almost bare-legged style, the Collina Strada dress retained a touch of classic glamour with its draped velvet neckline.

A Consistent Vision

Whether showcasing a romantic ballgown or a daring sheer dress, Florence Pugh consistently delivers a high level of sartorial drama, proving her commitment to making a memorable impact on the red carpet. Photographer Todd Cole captured Pugh’s first look, while Jeff Spicer documented her second appearance at the BAFTA event.
