There's simply no look that Florence Pugh can't pull off, but since debuting a buzz cut [2] 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 [3] 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 [4].
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 [7] 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.
