Naturally, the outfit garnered outrage from online trolls, who shamed Pugh and criticized her body.

The actress later took to social media to address the backlash, writing in a caption, “Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing. I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.”
Â
She added, “What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio.”

Shortly after the controversy, Pugh freed her nipples yet again in a sheer long-sleeved nude crop top with a matching maxi skirt and a pink nightdress at the British Independent Film Awards.
