Actor Florence Pugh has addressed the criticism she received after wearing her pink sheer Valentino dress last year.

The 27-year-old copped a slew of comments online about 'leaving something to the imagination' and 'having respect for yourself' after she wore the dress to the fashion house’s couture show in Paris in 2022.

Appearing as Vogue's winter 2023 cover star, Pugh said, "I've never been scared of what's underneath the fabric, if I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it."

"Of course, I don't want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much? It's very important that we do this."

The Don't Worry Darling actor went on to address the disturbing comments she received from trolls, many men.

"I know that some people might scoff at me saying that, but if a dress with my breasts peeking through is encouraging people to say, 'Well, if you were to get raped, you would deserve it,' it just shows me that there's so much more work to do."

Pugh previously spoke about the controversial dress and how "easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly" in a post on her Instagram in July.

"It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be," she wrote at the time.
