Last summer, Pugh wore adreamy sheer pink Valentino dressto the fashion house’s show, which garnered a strong reaction on the internet for its risqué design. After wearing the pink dress last summer, she shared photos onInstagramof the look, jokingly writing, “Technically they’re covered?” referring to her nipples, which were visible through the pink fabric.
When the criticism began to pick up, she wrote onInstagramthat she knew there would be"commentary" around her “incredible” dress.

“I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after,” she wrote. “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..?”
“I’ve never been scared of what’s underneath the fabric,“Pugh toldVogue. “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?”

The criticism from last summer didn’t stop Pugh from choosinganother sheer Valentino designmonths later, again showing off her nipples.
TheMidsommaractress made a grand entrance at Paris Fashion Week in October wearing a champagne-colored two-piece sheer Valentino design that left little to the imagination. She wore high-rise briefs under the sequined skirt and nothing under the long-sleeved sheer top, leaving her nipples on display.
And at the Governors Awards a month later, she chose another sheer look, thoughthis Victoria Beckham gownhad strategically placed panels to cover parts of her body. The sleeveless dress with a train was mostly sheer, outside of white layering, gold accents and additional gold polka dots to give the look some added spark.
