Florence Pugh stunned on the British Independent Film Awards red carpet on Sunday as she posed up a storm in a silk, dusty pink negligée and co-ordinating diaphanous cape.

The 26-year-old actor looked straight out of an Old Hollywood movie in the Rodarte dress, which featured lace trims and a large floral embellishment at the centre, for the star-studded London event.

She added height to her enviable frame with simple strappy Aquazzura heels and sparkling jewellery from Tiffany & Co completed the look.

The Oscar-winning Little Women star has put a particularly stylish foot forward and wowed in a number of stunning ensembles at red carpet premieres and fashion shows alike in recent months.

A close relationship with Valentino has meant that Pugh and her stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray, have often turned to the fashion house for big events over the years.

Not least for her incredible sheer pink, nipple-baring look at the Valentino Haute Couture fashion show earlier this year sparked much debate and prompted the star to defend her sartorial decisions.

"Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it," Pugh wrote on Instagram.

"What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see," she continued.

"What’s more concerning is…. Why are you so scared of breasts? Small? Large? Left? Right? Only one? Maybe none?" she added. "What. Is. So. Terrifying."

Elsewhere, Pugh and Corbin-Murray – who is also behind the fashion-forward looks from the likes of Lily James, Gemma Chan and Simone Ashley – have since experimented with the soft lace of Rodarte and gilded glamour of Louis Vuitton.

One thing's for sure, Pugh's daring approach to red carpet fashion always keeps us guessing – and we can't wait to see what she wears at forthcoming premieres, fashion shows and awards seasons.

In the meantime, take a look back at some of the film star's most head-turning ensembles...
