When it comes to Spider-Man: Brand New Day and other premieres, Zendaya has obviously been slaying red carpet after red carpet. But, hold up. We have to give some points to Florence Pugh!. She turned up to the UK premiere in a dress that shouldn't work, but totally does.
The MCU actress is set to return in the role of Yelena Belova in the first upcoming Marvel movie after Spider-Man, Avengers: Doomsday. However, she made an early cameo at the London premiere of Brand New Day by coming out in a sparkly silver dress that's a sight to behold. Check it out:
She wore a Tamara Ralph Spring 2026 Couture gown with a bunch of silver jewelry as accessories, and a super cool slicked-back hairdo. Oh, and Zendaya also wore the same designer for the very same UK premiere. Check it out:
As for Pugh, her appearance at this premiere is sure to fuel the rumors that she has a cameo in Brand New Day. Marvel boss Kevin Feige even said this earlier this month:
If you’re a fan of Yelena, wait until Avengers: Doomsday. Yelena plays a big part in that. But if you don’t want to wait until then, you might see Yelena a little bit sooner in the movies.
The Marvel of it all aside, Pugh is known for taking fashion risks in the name of fashion, but she wears this one so well that it doesn't even feel like one. Who knew floating shoulders and twinkly fringe down her chest and her legs could work at the same time? Leave it to this fashion icon to make it chic.
It's been awhile since Florence Pugh walked a red carpet for a big movie premiere. By our estimation, it was last May for the release of Thunderbolts*. And, we've really missed her. Back in May, she did wear another fantastic sheer look for an event, but otherwise she's mostly been keeping to herself.
Pugh has understandably been a bit off the grid ahead of starring in both movies of "Dunesday": Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday – both due in theaters on December 18. A couple months ago, she said she was excited to promote both films after having "some time to sleep" in the time she's had off across the past year.
While the Avengers: Doomsday cast showed up in a big way over the weekend when a bunch of the cast surprises fans at San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H presentation, Pugh wasn't there. (But she wasn't the only one – Chris Hemsworth, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were also notably missing among others). It's great to see Pugh back with her MCU family to support Brand New Day, and it makes me excited about the prospect of getting more Yelena. We'll be watching for her character in the Spider-Man film, which opens in theaters on July 31.
