Florence Pugh has earned praise for her new look after debuting a buzz cut on the red carpet of the 2023 Met Gala.

On Monday 1 May, the Don’t Worry Darling star, 27, arrived on the red carpet steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the opening of the Costume Institute’s new exhibit “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”.

For the occasion, Pugh wore a white gown with a black bow, which she paired with a large feathered headpiece, designed by Valentino.

However, it was Pugh’s hairstyle that captured fans’ attention, as the actress completed the look with a shaved head.

“The Florence Pugh buzz cut happened and my god her first Met Gala and it’s flawless. No notes. A red carpet queen #metgala,” one person tweeted, while another said: “Florence Pugh is a full serve and I’m so excited for the buzz cut she looks so hot.”

“FLORENCE PUGH HAS A BUZZ CUT THIS IS NOT A DRILL FLORENCE PUGH HAS A BUZZ CUT,” someone else excitedly tweeted.

Others revealed that they’ve already been influenced by the look, with one person writing that Pugh’s hairstyle was “making [them] want to shave [their] head for the summer”.

“Florence Pugh absolutely rockin the buzz cut no surprise,” another person wrote.
