Actor Florence Pugh touched off quite the furor last month when she wore a daringly sheer Valentino dress that bared her nipples to the designer's fashion show in Rome.

The body-shaming backlash from some corners of the internet was so intense Pugh addressed it head-on in a pointed post on Instagram.


But while lots of men on the internet had a problem with the gown, one person who pointedly did not was Pugh's grandmother.

In a new interview in Harper's Bazaar, Pugh revealed her grandmother's reaction to the dress—which was a gasp, but for all the right reasons.

In the interview, Pugh told the magazine the uproar over her bared nipples was so intense even her grandmother had heard about it.

She said:

"I went to see my gran, and she goes, ‘So what’s all of this business about your nipples then?’"

Pugh then said she showed her grandmother photos of the gown.

They left her shocked in the best way.

"She gasped. Because the dress was so beautiful.”

Amen, Gran.

Pugh's Gran's response is of course pointedly opposite to all too many people, most of them men, on the internet.

They excoriated Pugh's supposed lack of modesty and shamed her for having small breasts.

Of the uproar, Pugh told Harper's Bazaar she thinks it was all down to sour grapes.

“I was comfortable with my small breasts. And showing them like that—it aggravated [people] that I was comfortable.”

Expanding on the lengthy clapback she posted to Instagram at the time, Pugh went on to say:

“It was just alarming, how perturbed they were."
"They were so angry that I was confident, and they wanted to let me know that they would never wank over me."
"Well, don’t.”

Hear, hear.

On Twitter, most people were definitely on Pugh's Gran's side on this one.







Pugh also discussed her next project, the psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling in which she stars alongside Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, who also directed.

The film releases next month.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
