High-top sneakers, buggy jeans, fit caps – everyone has a fashion favorite. And for Florence Pugh, Shear becomes her loyal go-to.
The British actress stole the show at London Fashion Week on Thursday with a totally black gossy frock she wore at the opening of Harris Reid’s fall/winter show.
Walking the runway for the label named after the British-American designer, Pew locked up a Gothic look. The dress’s tight-fitting, thin base was covered in a classy, flashy bodice and a chic hood framed with Pugh’s face.
“We feel like we’re lucky enough to see @harris_reed create in real time,” Pugh wrote on Instagram on Friday. “It was an honor to open a #LFW show. I am so proud of you and what you did. Thank you for constantly creating bold beauty.”

In recent years, Pugh has demonstrated a preference for pure fashion, even causing controversy by wearing a negative see-through look.

In an interview with Elle UK in August 2023, Pugh reflected on the backlash she received for her fashion choices and her continued motivation to wear a bold ensemble.
“Unfortunately, we can’t even see my two little cute nipples behind the fabric in a non-sexual way,” Pugh said. “We need to continue to remind everyone that there are multiple reasons for women’s bodies (it has to exist).
