Nicola Coughlan continues to shine as a style icon, captivating fans with her elegant fashion sense while using her platform to inspire conversations about body positivity and the treatment of women in the entertainment industry. Recently, the Bridgerton and Derry Girls star wowed at TASAKI’s 70th Anniversary Floating Shell exhibition at Selfridges in London, proving once again that she knows how to turn heads.
For the event, Coughlan embraced a classic yet chic aesthetic with an all-black outfit that radiated confidence and sophistication:
- Statement piece: A Moschino blazer mini dress featuring asymmetric sleeves and fringe detailing, adding a playful twist to the otherwise sleek design.
- Timeless touches: She paired the dress with black tights for a polished look and completed the ensemble with pointed-toe pumps.
- Subtle glam: Her makeup was understated and natural, styled by Alex Babsky, and her hair was parted in the middle for a soft, face-framing effect.
- Minimalist accessories: TASAKI dangling silver earrings and two delicate rings were her only jewelry, ensuring the outfit remained the centerpiece.
Coughlan also shared a sweet moment with her Bridgerton Season 4 co-star Yerin Ha, who will portray Sophie Baek. The two complemented each other perfectly, with Ha donning a contrasting white mini dress with ruched details and a creamy silk longline blazer. Fans couldn’t get enough of their dynamic, showering the post with comments like “Queens doing queen things” and “Bridgerton sisters-in-law and besties.”
While Coughlan’s style garners well-deserved praise, she’s no stranger to public scrutiny regarding her body. In a 2018 article for The Guardian, she addressed the pervasive criticism women in her industry face, recounting an incident where a reviewer focused on her size rather than her performance.
She wrote:
“Something in our society tells us that women’s bodies are fair game for scrutiny in a way that men’s simply are not.”
Inspired by the Time’s Up movement, Coughlan emphasized the need for change, advocating for a focus on talent and creativity over appearance.
By pairing her fashion-forward looks with a refusal to conform to outdated expectations, Coughlan continues to make waves both on and off the red carpet. As Bridgerton Season 4 looms, her work and advocacy for inclusivity in Hollywood make her a role model for many.
