Florence Pugh Makes Red Carpet Debut With Finn Cole at BFI Festival

Florence Pugh and Finn Cole made their first red carpet appearance as a couple at the world premiere of In The Shadows during the 70th BFI London Film Festival, where the actors attended together and posed for photographs.

According to Us Magazine, Pugh, 30, wore a sparkling silver corset gown while Cole, also 30, appeared in a suit beside her. The appearance followed their relationship becoming more public after earlier private stages.

Pugh previously discussed her relationship with Cole in a September 25 interview with Vanity Fair, explaining her approach to privacy and public attention.

"I don’t want to be a secret, but I also don’t want everything to be divulged," said Florence Pugh.

Pugh continued in the same interview that she valued the stability of the relationship and how it made her feel.

"The important thing is that we’re happy, and I feel solid and safe and sturdy. And that’s worth its weight in gold in our lives," said Florence Pugh.

The actress also declined to reveal details about how the relationship began when asked about its origins.

"You can [ask me, but] I might not tell you everything," said Florence Pugh.

Pugh and Cole were first romantically linked in July 2024. In a September 2024 British Vogue interview, Pugh described allowing the relationship to develop gradually.

"I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it’s falling in love," said Florence Pugh.

Pugh added that she was taking a different approach to romance and avoiding rushing into a relationship.

"There is someone, yes. We are figuring [out] what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I’m not allowing myself to go on a roller-coaster. I’m allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that," said Florence Pugh.

She also reflected on the emotions involved in falling in love and the importance of building something lasting.

"Falling is the most amazing feeling, but unfortunately, if that’s the only thing that you know in a relationship, then that’s the thing that you chase. That’s not gonna last," said Florence Pugh.

The couple had also appeared together in social media posts before their red carpet debut. Pugh shared images from the Bulgari Eclettica gala in Milan in March.

"Bvlgari with my boys 😍," wrote Florence Pugh.

Before her relationship with Cole, Pugh dated Zach Braff from 2019 to 2023 and previously discussed the public reaction to that relationship.

"I had to be public in the past because people were bullying me and bullying my partner," said Florence Pugh.

Pugh explained that the attention affected her former relationship and those close to them.

"Mine and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it was nasty, and I could see the toll that it was taking on him and us and our families," said Florence Pugh.
