However, not everyone was a fan of her style choices. But in true Florence fashion, she wasn’t afraid to call out the critics.
“Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it,” she wrote on Instagram in July 2022. “Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing.”
While the Oscar nominee said she expected her outfit to ruffle feathers, she didn’t think she’d receive such cruel comments.
“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,” Florence continued. “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.”
