Florence Pugh defied gravity

The British actress wore a strapless white Valentino gown, but everyone’s attention was firmly on her head.

Firstly, because Pugh wore a headpiece that looked like it would come in handy clearing cobwebs from a ceiling.

But also because Pugh’s appearance confirmed recent rumours she had shaved her hair off for a role in a forthcoming film.

“I’ve actually had it for about three weeks now,” she told reporters of her shaved head. “I thought, what is a better way than to release it at The Met?”
