The funniest 'Miss Flo' memes from the 'Don't Worry Darling' premiere
Florence Pugh has been sassily reborn as 'Miss Flo' and Twitter is *living* for it
The world premiere of Don't Worry Darling at the Venice International Film Festival on September 5 was a social-media treasure trove: it gave us literally no red carpet interaction between couple Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles, a #Spitgate scandal between two of the movie's lead actors and, best of all, the rise and reclamation of one "Miss Flo."
What exactly are all the memes about then, now that the film has actually hit cinemas?
What are the Miss Flo memes about?
Now, suppose you're not entirely up to date on all of the Don't Worry Darling drama (we can't believe the actual film has only just come out) In that case, you might not know the origins of "Miss Flo," a nickname for lead actress Florence Pugh used by director Olivia Wilde in that now-viral leaked video she sent Shia LaBeouf asking him to stay on with the production. (He later quit the project and the role was recast with Styles.)
In the clip, Wilde alluded to tension between Pugh and LaBeouf, saying: “You know, I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo...if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace—and I respect your point of view, I respect hers—but if you guys can do it, what do you think? Is there hope?”
Many fans felt that Olivia was throwing the actress under the bus—something they see as particularly ironic considering Wilde herself was quoted in Variety saying she fired LaBeouf—who is currently facing abuse allegations—to "protect" Florence. The not-so-sweet nickname also fanned rumors of a growing feud between Wilde and Pugh, the latter of whom has notably sat out of most of the film's PR appearances, including the Venice press conference.
Pugh did, however, eventually show up at the Venice Film Festival, with a clip of her enjoying an Aperol spritz and looking perpetually unbothered and effortlessly cool in head-to-toe purple Valentino quickly going viral on social media. Memes were made and a fashion icon was born (that "revenge dress" though!). Even her stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray, made a subtle dig at the drama in a recent post. We LOVE the drama!
