As one might surmise, it wasn't exactly a fun time to wear such a heavy dress, especially in the middle of the day with the sun beating down. Pugh revealed as much with her recent social media post, where she also clarified, "Underneath the flower dress are pillows and stuffed bin bags to fill out the dress whilst I was sat. It got hot obviously, especially when the sun was out, hence my trusty hand fan always being easily accessible."
The picture in question does, indeed, show the actress with a tiny hand fan, which makes it fun to think about when rewatching the movie. The entire time she was gazing at the burning building her friends were locked in, she was sitting there laughing maniacally with a little fan in hand in case things got too hot for her personally.
Fans loved the behind-the-scenes glimpse. People chimed in with words of praise like "ICONIC BRILLIANT LEGENDARY SHOW STOPPING SPECTACULAR" and "I just know I'd have to pee the instant I was put in there." Pugh hasn't revealed how often she had to go to the bathroom while wearing the dress, but maybe we'll get that Instagram post on a later date.
