Florence Pugh’s Most Inspiring Body Positive Quotes Over the Years
Florence Pugh has consistently challenged the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by Hollywood throughout her career.
In 2019, Pugh made headlines when she responded to a review that drew a comparison between her thighs and those of WWE star Saraya Jade Bevis (better known as Paige), whom she portrayed in the film Fighting With My Family.
“Oh dear,” she tweeted in reaction to the article by the Evening Standard that March. “Focusing on my ‘chunky’ thighs does nothing to help normalize an ‘all shape & size’ Hollywood. In fact, that’s part of the issue. I hope audiences take away more from the film than just the measurement of my legs.”
The Oscar-nominated actress has also ignited discussions with her breathtaking red carpet appearances. Notably, the daring pink sheer dress she wore at the Valentino Haute Couture Fashion Show in July 2022 drew significant media attention as it showcased her nipples.
In response to critics, she expressed on Instagram, “What’s intriguing to observe is how easily some men can publicly and proudly tear down a woman’s body for everyone to see. You even do it while highlighting your job titles and work emails. … This won’t be the first or last time a woman hears unsolicited opinions about her body from a crowd of strangers, and what’s troubling is how crude some of you men can be.”
