Florence Pugh’s Bold Shoulder Look Is Turning Heads Again—Are Deltoids the New Red Carpet Accessory?

by

Among Florence Pugh’s many admirable traits, beyond her exceptional acting talent, lies her daring fashion choices. Be it causing a stir online in a sheer Valentino gown or enhancing her look with long, dramatic eyelashes, the British actress seldom fails to turn heads. Last year at the Oscars, she and fellow actress Emily Blunt even managed to captivate fans’ attention with their shoulders, and she continues this trend by sporting a chic black dress in anticipation of the upcomingThunderbolts* premiere.

On Instagram, Florence Pugh described the busy few days she had in L.A. leading up to the L.A. premiere of the 2025 movie release of Marvel’s Thunderbolts*. After hearing about hiking, doll cars and unforgettable views, I’m getting jealous!

However, the image that catches my attention in her slideshow is her recent attire from Jimmy Kimmel Live! While it doesn’t have the floating shoulders of that specific outfit, it still captures my gaze towards the same area.

The actress from “Little Women,” Florence Pugh, truly suits the style. She donned a Marine Serine Fall 2025 gown featuring padded shoulders, accentuating her self-assured demeanor and well-defined shoulder muscles. Given her impressive stunt work in her upcoming Marvel film, it’s fitting that she showcases those powerful shoulder muscles. Given Pugh’s reputation as a trendsetter, it wouldn’t surprise me if other celebrities adopt her style of emphasizing strong shoulders.

Previously mentioned, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh have something beyond just being part of the cast in “Oppenheimer”. At the 97th Oscars, they both showcased gowns that highlighted their well-defined shoulder muscles with gathered straps. Interestingly, Emily Blunt has been a trendsetter for those “off-the-shoulder” styles, as seen in her futuristic dress at the Oscars, which also emphasized her toned shoulders.

As an admirer, I must admit that the crowd at the Oscars might have been taken aback by Emily Blunt’s unique light gold beaded gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2024 Couture collection. However, if you look closer, it’s not just another dress – it’s a playful twist on fashion with those eye-catching spaghetti straps. Jessica Plaster, Blunt’s stylist, puts it perfectly when she says that fashion is all about having fun and the chance to wear something intriguing. So, why should men be the only ones flaunting their collar pops? Women can certainly enjoy a bit of strap-popping too!

At the 2024 Oscars red carpet, Florence Pugh donned a gown similar to Zendaya’s future-inspired C3PO look at the Dune 2 premiere. In much the same way, the Oscar-nominated actress could have embraced a futuristic aesthetic with her dress featuring floating shoulders at the Oscars: an homage to the red carpet’s forward-looking fashion trends.

Florence Pugh’s Del Core silver dress had a captivating mermaid-like quality, with its sculpted sheer bodice reminiscent of water droplets. However, it was her straps that really stood out, appearing to have a life of their own as they daringly slipped off her shoulders. Indeed, she effortlessly defied gravity on the red carpet in this striking ensemble.

Showcasing their power, grace, and forward-thinking style in every ensemble, these outfits with bare shoulders make a powerful statement about the allure of blending beauty and courage. And if you haven’t already, be sure to witness the incredible strength of Pugh in action in Thunderbolts, now playing in theaters.
