Florence Pugh goes braless in racy gray dress while rocking bold graphic eye make-up as she attends the star-studded premiere of Dune: Part Two in NYC

Florence Pugh turned heads in a striking ensemble as she rocked a bold makeup look as she attended the New York premiere of Dune: Part Two on Sunday.

The British-born actress, 28 – who recently sparked dating rumors with fellow actor Paul Mescal – joined her other castmates at the special screening held at Lincoln Center.

The anticipated sequel – also starring Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler – is scheduled to hit theaters next month, on March 1.

Upon arriving at the venue, Pugh wowed in a flowy, gray halter-style dress that showed off her side boob and was made from pleated material.

While she struck several poses to show off the look, she also revealed the backless part of the dress that radiated a sultry glow.

She donned a pair of silver platform heels to match the color scheme of her overall look.

Florence opted for minimal accessories and wore a pair of statement silver earrings, but no other jewelry.

Her blonde locks were parted to the side and combed back to prevent loose strands from falling on her face.

The beauty’s makeup included a coat of mascara on her lashes and metallic detailing around her eyes that sparkled under the bright lights.

A warm blush was added to enhance her cheekbones, while a pink shade was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.

During an interview for Elle Last August, Pugh opened up about her personal style, saying, “I think I’ve always been interested in wearing statement clothes.”

‘As a teenager I bought the craziest things and sewed them together. I have always loved color. I’ve always wanted to be bold and make a bit of a scene – I don’t think that’s gone away.’

The star added: ‘When I first started doing red carpets it was very tough. It takes ages before you feel comfortable with fifty men all shouting, “Photo, here!”

‘I’ve become more confident in recent years and I think a lot of that has to do with the clothes I wear. The more you can enjoy it, the more (people) can see that you enjoy it.”

While on the red carpet, Florence was spotted crossing paths with some of her Dune: Part Two co-stars, including Christopher Walken and Lea Seydoux.

The actor wore an all-black ensemble and a green scarf, while the French actress was effortlessly chic in a figure-hugging white-and-gold dress with cape fabric flowing down the back.

The film was directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.

The premise follows Chalamet’s character, Paul Atreides, who “unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen as he seeks revenge on the conspirators who destroyed his family,” according to one of the authors. IMDB summary.

Dune: Part 1 premiered in 2021 to critical acclaim and grossed approximately $434.8 million at the box office.

The film is an adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name, written by Frank Herbert. The book was previously adapted in 1984 with David Lynch’s Dune and in 2000 as a miniseries.

Florence recently spoke with Vanity fair last year about working with her fellow castmates, like Timothee, Zendaya and Austin Butler.

She said: “They are remarkable people, number one, and incredible actors, number two. They are stars in their own way, not in the clichéd way the word is used.’

They are just sparkling people. I am now lucky enough to call them all my friends, which is super exciting.’

“For me to be able to work with the ‘young Hollywood’ of the moment, and they’re beautiful people, and then have them on my phone when I want to text them – to see that that’s the direction our industry is going moving is such a wonderful feeling.’

As well as promoting Dune: Part Two, Pugh also put on a glamorous display at the BAFTAs earlier this month.

Oppenheimer – which she also starred in last year – received a total of thirteen nominations and won seven, including Best Picture and Best Director for Christopher Nolan.
