Florence Pugh fans go wild as her friend recreates actress’ viral purple outfit

Her film Don’t Worry Darling was the talk of the 79th Venice International Film Festival.

And Florence Pugh showed she got the joke when she shared a slew of photos of her boyfriend dressing up in one of her now “iconic” press tour outfits for Halloween.

Rumors of a bitter feud between the movie star, 26, and her director Olivia Wilde caused Florence to skip the press conference for the film.

But while Olivia made the official line that the actress was tied up with movie commitments, Florence was seen sipping a cocktail and avoiding the drama in a clip that has now gone viral.

While the press conference was taking place, Florence’s stylist Rebecca Corbin Murray shared a video of her client walking through Venice.

Dressed in a gorgeous purple Valentino combination, the actress paraded around her hotel terrace with a large Aperol Spritz in hand and cheered for the camera.

Fans went wild for the clip, with one saying, ‘Not that Olivia Wilde said Florence Pugh couldn’t make it to the Don’t Worry Darling press conference because of scheduling conflicts and because she was literally in Venice at the same time as this energy’.

Florence Pugh avoids the conference and drama at the Venice Film Festival and enjoys a spritz. this is what i call iconic behavior, nobody does it like them,” added another.

Now Florence has poked fun at all the drama, posing with her boyfriend Theo Smith dressed as her in the iconic video.

Wearing a purple crop top and shorts and a matching purple handbag, Theo was instantly recognizable as a carefree Florence.

He even wore similar sunglasses and held a large Aperol Spritz to perfectly recreate the viral moment.

Florence, dressed as Cruella Devil from 101 Dalmatians, looked incredible next to him, wearing a black and white wig and a tight Dalmatian print dress.

Fans immediately recognized the outfit and took to the comments to praise Florence and Theo.

One commented, “Not him wearing your iconic Venice look,” while another praised, “Theo’s costume is legendary.”

And a third did a double take, writing, “Wait, is he wearing your outfit in Venice?”

Florence captioned the entire batch of Halloween photos: “Red lips, shit wigs, dogs both human and real, Aperol, Timberlake and sweaty upper lip… Loved that Halloween.”

Don’t Worry Darling, in which Harry Styles and Florence play a married couple, was overshadowed by a series of controversies, both before and after its memorable premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.

Notably, Florence failed to acknowledge Olivia on the red carpet after an on-set dispute — presumably sparked by the actress’ discomfort that her director entered into a very public relationship with Harry while shooting the film on location in Los Angeles. .

And sources claim their fallout stems from the initial chemistry Florence and her screen husband shared before he got into a romantic relationship with Olivia.

Tension had been brewing between the two women, with Harry and Olivia’s budding romance making matters worse.

Florence avoided promoting her lead role in Don’t Worry Darling amid rumors of a feud between her and Olivia.

The actress missed the photocall for the film during the Venice Film Festival and kept her distance from the director on the red carpet.

Others noted that the actress posted little about the film on her social media accounts, which has also fueled rumors of friction on set.

A report from Page six claimed in late July that Florence was angry with Olivia for interacting with lead actor Harry – while still engaged to Jason Sudeikis – during production before breaking up in November.

“I can tell you for sure that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry walking over each other on set didn’t go well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first interacted with Harry,” the source said.

Florence was asked by an Italian journalist at the event what she found “inspiring” in the film and appeared to have a cunning count towards Olivia.

She replied, “I find it very inspiring to see a woman pull back and say ‘no’ and question everything. It’s very exciting to see a woman do that on and off the camera.”

When asked when she says ‘no’ off-camera, Florence jokingly replied, ‘When do I say ‘no’? If someone says I can’t have cake.’

Rumors of tensions mounted after Olivia suggested in a leaked video this month that Florence should have a wake-up call.

The video was leaked after Shia LaBeouf refuted Olivia’s claim that he was fired from the project, and the footage can be heard encouraging Olivia to stick with the film rather than leave it, while also hinting at some apparent tension. with Florence.
