Dior designed Pugh's look for the London photo call.

The base of the ensemble was a white blouse, which she buttoned all the way to her neckline. Atop it, Pugh wore a patterned coatdress that cinched at her waist and had an asymmetrical hemline.

The off-the-shoulder neckline curved around Pugh's arms, creating the illusion that the dress was floating around her.
