Florence Pugh is enjoying some time in Venice, Italy right now ahead of her show East of Eden launching at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 30, kicked off her time in the city by stepping out for the Max Mara Le Parfum Dinner on Tuesday night (September 8) in Venice, Italy.
Florence is the face of the fragrance and wore a custom Max Mara look while attending the intimate dinner to celebrate its launch.
