Florence Pugh is currently in Venice, Italy, where she is enjoying some time in the city ahead of the launch of her upcoming series East of Eden. The Oscar nominated actress, 30, arrived in Venice ahead of the show’s appearance at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.
Pugh began her time in the city by attending the Max Mara Le Parfum Dinner on Tuesday night, September 8. The event was held to celebrate the official launch of the fragrance, for which Pugh is the face. She attended the private dinner wearing a custom Max Mara outfit.
Her look featured a dark rose coloured silk georgette top with a matching bias cut skirt decorated with a graduated ombré crystal design. She completed the outfit with a long silk georgette shawl and stiletto sandals made from tonal duchesse satin.
Sharing pictures from the evening on Instagram, Pugh wrote, “Venice, while dripping in @maxmara. We celebrated the official release of the perfume, Max Mara Le Parfum in the most gorgeous way. Friends, food, wine, insanely striking dinner venue, stole a few bottles of the perfume off the table…tehe,”
Pugh has also been photographed spending time around Venice with her friends. She was seen arriving in the city on Tuesday wearing a black Max Mara outfit before leaving the airport and boarding a water taxi with her team.
