Florence Pugh's Vintage-Inspired Hairstyles Are the Stuff of Dreams. Here's the Exclusive Scoop on Her Looks

Pugh's hairstylist Adir Abergel shares the inspiration behind and top products for her her two most recent show-stopping looks

Awards season kicked off with Golden Globes on Jan. 7, and already we’re prepared to give Florence Pugh a trophy for the best hair of 2024.

At the ceremony on Sunday, the Oppenheimer actress stopped us in our tracks in a sheer, siren-red Valentino gown over pants, plus Tiffany & Co. jewels.

The star, 28, topped off her look with a pompadour created by celebrity hairstylist and Virtue Creative Director Adir Abergel. (Two days earlier, she had her icy blonde hair touched up by celebrity colorist Moroccanoil Global Color Ambassador Matt Rez.)

On Jan. 9, Pugh was back on the carpet again, this time at the Governors Awards, in a sequin Rodarte dress and with sculpted curls also created by Abergel.

The pro — who counts Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler and Kristen Stewart among others as longtime clients — calls the newfound collaboration “wonderful.”

“I’ve known Florence as friends for a really long time, but we started working this season,” Abergel says of their budding work relationship to PEOPLE exclusively. 

The pro says that Pugh’s grown-out pixie is currently about three inches long, but that doesn’t hinder their creativity. On the contrary, Abergel says Pugh is game to play.

The result thus far: two vintage-yet-modern looks that scored tons of likes on Instagram and even comments from celebrities such as Marion Cotillard, who dropped a “WoW” on a sneak peak of the latter style.

Abergel, who says he’s “humbled” by the “unbelievable” response, opened up about their process, sharing that the duo approach each look based on the outfit. 

“The Golden Globes look was inspired by '50s teddy girls, which represented rebellion and individuality. So I paid homage to that by creating a pompadour that had its own personality,” the pro explains. The keys to achieving it: Virtue 6-1 Styling Paste for the hold and Virtue Healing Oil for her high-shine finish.

For the second look, Abegel says, “When I saw the beautiful Rodarte dress, I wanted that felt like an old classic style but that still had modernity and rebellion to it.” He created a “classic twist on Marylin Monroe’s” signature hairstyle with one of his hero products: Virtue Volumizing Mousse.

When Abergel thinks of Pugh’s hair, a few of the words that come to mind are “edgy, classic and tough yet feminine.”

When we think of Pugh’s hair, what comes to mind, like for so many others, is a flood of emoji hearts.
