“When everything went down with the Valentino pink dress a year ago,” she explained of the moment in an interview with Elle U.K., “my nipples were on display through a piece of fabric, and it really wound people up. It’s the freedom that people are scared of; the fact I’m comfortable and happy.”
As she put it, “We need to keep reminding everybody that there is more than one reason for women’s bodies [to exist].”
It’s clear Florence isn’t going to stop taking risks, especially when she feels good in her skin.
“Knowing who I am, and who I’ve been from the very beginning, has allowed me to feel safe,” she told the outlet. “Even in my style, I never wanted there to be a filter. I speak the way I do about my body because I’m not trying to hide the cellulite on my thigh or the squidge in between my arm and my boob. I would much rather lay it all out.”
