All eyes were on the stunning Florence Pugh at London Fashion Week as she opened the Harris Reed Fall 2025 runway show in a striking hooded black gown. The avant-garde design featured sheer details that accentuated the Oscar nominee’s curves, leaving fans in awe of her bold and sculptural look.
The piece (seemingly inspired by classic horned characters like Maleficent) was distinguished by two horn-shaped accents extending from the bodice. The Dune: Part Two alum, 29, completed her look with black platform heels, shimmering gold drop earrings, and a matching chain necklace.

Pugh, a friend of Reed, 28, (the creative director of the French fashion house Nina Ricci) kicked off the event at Tate Britain in London.
Prior to the We Live In Time star's appearance on the runway, designer Reed informed British Vogue that Pugh was intended to embody a character who symbolized a folklore-inspired figure with a haunting and unsettling presence.
"I want everyone to be very uncomfortable," he told the outlet. He added: "I think through uncomfortability, you look deeper within and question a lot about yourself and your surroundings."
For her glam, Pugh wore her signature blonde tresses tucked under her hood in a slicked-back, side-parted updo, crafted by Hyungsun Ju.
For her makeup look (done by Alex Babsky), the Black Widow star rocked smokey eyeshadow, smudged black winged liner, sky-high lash extensions, rosy blush on her high cheekbones and a soft pink pout. Soon after Pugh graced the show, fans headed to Instagram to share their thoughts.
"She looks so good I can’t," one wrote as another deemed Pugh's look to be "alarmingly fabulous." Someone else noted: "beautiful" as one other commented: "Absolutely stunning." An additional user chimed in, writing: "crushed it." (We couldn't agree more!)
