Championing bridal “mermaid” glamour, Coughlan and her longtime stylist, Aimée Croysdill, worked with Rodarte to create a custom champagne-colored gown that had Botticelli connotations and felt perfect for a celebration of a fabulously OTT show about high society.Nicola Coughlan attends the special screening of Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2 at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on June 12, 2024, in London.“Instead of method dressing, we’re going in the opposite direction,” shared Coughlan, who has worn no fewer than 68 looks on this year’s Bridgerton promo trail. “I quite like to get as far away from the characters I play as possible, so this one is very far from Pen [Penelope Featherington].” With soft waves—“my hair has been through a lot”—perfected by hairstylist Halley Brisker and pink- and purple-tinted summertime makeup masterminded by Neil Young, Coughlan said Rodarte’s hyper-feminine, gothic-tinged vision seemed like a natural step away from the whimsical looks she wore on the first Bridgerton leg. “I loved that, but when it’s my leading-lady moment, I wanted to step up to the bar and deliver some really fun looks.”As Nicola Coughlan, a true follower of fashion who brings a level of joy to the red carpet that can often be lost among seasoned celebrities, signed off before clinking glasses at Café Laperouse,.
