There’s simply no look that Florence Pugh can’t pull off, but since debuting a buzz cut at the Met Gala in May, she’s really been leaning into her short hair era. After dyeing her hair from her signature blond to pastel pink in July during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, she is now back to her usual look and she’s discovered that she bares a resemblance to another spiky-haired viral celebrity.
On Aug. 3, the “Oppenheimer” star posted photos to her Instagram Stories from the back of a car wearing an embroidered sweater, cat-eye sunglasses, and statement starfish earrings. She added text across the selfie, writing: “Sometimes when I get out the shower I look like Guy Fieri and I love it.” For those not in the know, Fieri is a famous TV chef known for his larger-than-life character and his short, spiky, bleach-blond hair.
Pugh didn’t leave the resemblance at one selfie either. She added a video of herself, looking smug, as she added the caption: “Just saying.. could be the new mayor of flavor town,” which is Fieri’s signature phrase. “Or should I say … ‘Flo’ver town.” Now we love a pun just as much as the next person, and Pugh is a keen cook herself, having launched a “Cooking with Flo” YouTube channel during the pandemic. So, ‘Flo’ver town could well become a reality if a foodie spiked hair collaboration comes up. We do have one question that remains unanswered though: was Pugh heading to a diner, drive-in, or dive?
Pugh’s hair has had many iterations. From faux bangs at the BAFTAs in February to a brunette pixie-mullet in January 2022, but it seems this cropped cut is the fuss-free style she’s having the most fun with. Either way, we can’t wait to see what more looks she has in store.
