Thunderbolts* star Florence Pugh isn't merely a fan of the naked dress trend. She's a pioneer in the form of wearing sheer, exposed, and all-around bare pieces. Her innovations now include a stomach cut-out gown for the April 22 London premiere of her latest Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) outing.
Pugh was the neon yellow carpet's hero in a couture gown by Elie Saab, styled by Rebecca Corbin Murray. She channeled her Marvel alter-ego, assassin Yelena Belova, through a Black Widow color palette set with semi-sheer black lace, in lieu of a cape and a skintight catsuit. Smatterings of black beads embroidered the corseted bodice, while a peek-a-boo window revealed a slice of her stomach beneath the transparent black fabric. This is naked dressing 3.0: It wasn't completely see-through, and the skin-baring cut-outs neatly juxtaposed all the volume of her long black train. (So long, she could have hid the rest of her character's anti-hero cohort underneath it.)
