Florence Pugh is basking in the glow of compliments as social media users share a throwback to her 2022 beach escapade. The 29-year-old actress made waves four years ago during a sun-soaked getaway in Ibiza, Spain. Dressed in a baby-blue bikini, she showcased her fit and curvy physique in a chic two-piece, relishing the ocean waves and vibrant beach parties.
Despite the paparazzi's watchful eye, fans welcomed the influx of images. Recently, a user on X reignited interest by reposting some of these iconic shots, prompting followers to choose between “the front” or “the back” of the actress, featuring two captivating images of the blonde.
Scroll down for the full gallery. With her curvaceous waistline and defined abs on display, Florence turned heads in a ribbed, light blue swimsuit that accentuated her figure while she soaked up the sun.
Some snapshots captured her splashing in shallow waters, while others showed her neck-deep in the ocean. One particular image fueled romance speculation as she appeared cozy with her friend Will Poulter.
Emphasizing the mantra that “thick thighs save lives,” Florence flaunted her strong legs adorned with multiple gold necklaces, opting for a makeup-free look. Her hair cascaded down in wet strands as she transitioned from the water to land, enjoying a cigarette and a drink.
The X post featured various moments from her outing, including a sunkissed shot in low-rise bottoms and another at a wooden table that highlighted her thong-clad backside. “The front” and “the back” served as playful captions. “Both are incredible,” one user commented. “Both sides are insane,” echoed another. Despite facing body-shaming for not conforming to Hollywood's size-zero standards, these images resonated with a body-positive audience.
Florence Pugh is no stranger to challenging fashion norms, consistently making bold choices work for her.
In this particular photo shoot, the Oppenheimer star flaunted her glutes and thighs in a daring cut-out dress, showcasing a striking gray maxi number with side cut-outs. She has also garnered attention for her daring looks, especially during her 2022 appearance at the Valentino Haute Couture Show.
“I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there would be commentary—positive or negative,” Florence remarked after turning heads in her hot-pink, sheer gown.
“I was thrilled to wear it; not a single part of me felt nervous. Not before, during, or even now,” she added. The actress revealed that she received “vulgar” comments from men following her appearance in the custom, waist-cinched gown. Returning to the 2023 Valentino Haute Couture Show in another sheer ensemble, Florence proved that last year's drama had no impact on her confidence.
