Worry not, my love: Miss Flo has arrived.

Florence Pugh made her Met Gala debut on Monday, arriving on the star-studded red carpet wearing an elaborate Valentino headpiece that showed off her freshly shaved head.

Pugh walked the red carpet in a white gown with a plunging neckline and a plunging neckline with a big black bow — but her voluminous headpiece was the real conversation starter.

The Midsummer actress, 27, was named the fashion house’s new celebrity face just last week, and she dropped hints about her festive outfit in an interview with The New York Times.

“It’s big, but we like big, right?” asked Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, adding that at the Met, “the idea is to be as daring as possible.”

And Pugh doesn’t care if her look isn’t universally loved.

“The whole point is that you express yourself with what you wear,” said the British beauty.

“Every time I step out in any dress, it’s a version of me that I’m really proud of. So it doesn’t matter if people don’t necessarily like it. I don’t think anything I do has to be 100% likable. Things that are up for discussion are fine. It means that People are interested.

Pugh sure stirred controversy with her previous Valentino looks.

This past July, she went viral after arriving at the brand’s couture show in Rome wearing a sheer pink gown, and later defended the nipple-editing number on Instagram.

Beau went about sporting a similar look at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Don’t Worry Darling, followed by an obscene, polarizing look at the Oscars that included a pair of tiny hot pants.
