Attention all: Netflix has just dropped a new teaser for the eagerly anticipated third season of Bridgerton, promising a visual feast for fashion aficionados.
The upcoming season is set to delve into the romantic entanglements of Penelope Featherington (played by Nicola Coughlan) and her once unreciprocated love interest, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Additionally, the sneak peek offers a glimpse into the lives of ‘Kanthony’—Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) post-nuptials.
While the update on Kate and Anthony’s marital bliss was certainly a highlight, it was the characters’ wardrobe choices that stole the show for fashion enthusiasts. The costumes for this season seem to outshine those of its predecessors in extravagance.
Simone Ashley was breathtaking in a gown that paired bronze and blue with intricate gold threading and an innovative crossbody neckline. Meanwhile, Nicola Coughlan dazzled in an emerald green dress, a nod to her Irish roots, which featured sequined embellishments across the bodice and was complemented by trendy sheer black gloves for 2024.
Followers on Instagram did not hold back their admiration for the meticulously crafted costumes, with one commenting on the superb quality of the fabrics and another lavishing praise on Simone’s dress for its remarkable color and blend of English and Indian elegance. Clearly, the audience shares our enthusiasm for the season’s fashion.
Bridgerton’s influence on fashion has been monumental, bringing the ‘regencycore’ aesthetic into the limelight.
This trend has inspired fashion enthusiasts to embrace empire waist gowns, rich golden tones, exquisite craftsmanship, corsetry, and the modern It-girl’s accessory of choice—opera gloves.
In a conversation with WWD, Nicola Coughlan hinted at the exceptional styles to come in season 3, describing the looks as “major” and expressing her newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each garment. This insight has piqued her interest in fashion even further.
For those marking their calendars, Part 1 of season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix on May 16th, followed by Part 2 on June 13th.
