Little Women star Florence Pugh marked her first Oscars in style. Nominated for best supporting actress this year, the actor hit the red carpet in a teal Louis Vuitton dress with a ruffled skirt; the colorful creation continued her winning streak of awards-season looks, in which she and stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray have focused on exuberant colors and bold silhouettes throughout the busy month.
Giving Vogue an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her debut Oscars experience, Pugh shared that last night held a special meaning for her, especially from a fashion perspective. “The Oscars have been a major part of my life every year of my life, even though this is the first time I’m attending,” she said. “It’s the event that not only crowns the winners of the industry, but also makes every onlooker from their TV screens marvel at every fabric, jewel, and shoe that walks the carpet.”
The actor began her getting-ready process yesterday by hanging out with her parents, whom Pugh was happy to share the experience with. Then it was time for glam, where makeup artist Alex Babsky and hairstylist Peter Lux got to work. After quickly admiring her jewels for the night, including a Vuitton necklace inspired by Joan of Arc, Pugh slipped on her vibrant Oscars dress. Given the grand occasion, she and Corbin-Murray wanted to ensure her red carpet look channeled the excitement that she felt about the ceremony. “Rebecca and I have really craved and enjoyed using bright colors,” Pugh said. “For a time that’s so magical, it only seemed right to give every event a bang of color and fun.”
For last night’s look, Pugh also continued with something she has been doing all of awards season: infusing the spirit of her Little Women character, Amy March, into her fashion choices. “I’ve constantly thought how Amy March would be proud of our loud, mad choices,” Pugh said. “Every shape, color, and bow has Amy written all over them…. Louis Vuitton went above and beyond and created my colorful dream dress.” Once ready to go, the actor then hopped into her party bus and headed to the ceremony—and showing she’s a true fashion pro, she stood all the way to the venue to avoid wrinkles. “No mean feat in sky-high heels,” Pugh said.
