Florence Pugh looked incredible as she starred in Rachel Chinouriri’s new music video on Wednesday, after reaching out to the singer on Instagram.
The actress, 28, who features in the video as the musician’s best friend, wore a plunging chainmail mini dress.
In the accompanying video for Rachel’s latest song, Never Need Me, Florence teamed the 90s number with a pair of heels and heads off to attend a birthday party.
She styled her bright blonde hair into a quirky, textured look and topped her outfit off with a grungy makeup palette.
Rachel was nominated for the 2021 Ivor Novello Awards Rising Star Prize, which recognises the achievements and ambition of young musicians in the industry.

As well as rocking an edgy spiked hairstyle and a glitzy dress, Florence also cut a more casual figure in a white T-shirt and wore her platinum locks in a fringed bob
Her new track comes ahead of the release of her debut album What A Devastating Turn of Events, due 3rd May via Parlophone/Atlas Artists.
Explaining how her appearance in the music video came about, Florence said: ‘Recently I was in LA and I was listening to a few of her songs and I thought, you know what, I’m actually going to reach out to this amazing artist.
‘I just said “Thank you for making my day today” and then she replied and was also a fan and then this idea came that I was in her music video!’
Rachel added: ‘I made this song with a sense of heartbreak but empowerment. It’s about taking your power back the moment you realise that helping someone is actually hurting you because they aren’t willing to change.
‘Sometimes you end up enabling someone instead of actually helping them and carrying their load is tough.
‘Never Need Me is the moment you wish them well but you can’t continue to harm yourself by helping them.
‘It’s always a tough decision to make but once you make it, it’s a weight lifted off your shoulders for sure.’

As well as featuring in the music video, Florence is also a talented singer herself, with the star previously admitting she had planned to be a musician before launching her acting career.
Her love for music stems back to her childhood, when Florence would share videos of her musical covers on YouTube under the name Flossie Rose.
And she relied on her musicality during filming for 2018 thriller series The Little Drummer Girl, with episode one seeing her character performing with a guitar.
Florence once again brought together her love of acting and music in 2023 drama A Good Person, which she recorded two songs – The Best Part and I Hate Myself – for.
She also recently joined music duo Flyte in singing a stripped-down version of their track Tough Love as she continues to pursue her passion for singing.
Elsewhere, Florence’s appearance in the video comes after she stunned in an off-white trouser suit at the American Film Institute Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles on Friday.
The English actress wore the jacket of her suit unbuttoned to show off her abs and she wore stunning silver hoops from Tiffany & Co.
