Nicola Coughlan Makes a Very Bridgerton-Inspired Splash at London Fashion Week

Nicola’s stylist, Aimée Croysdill, recently told Grazia that they’re both fans of Simone Rocha’s designs, which she described as having a “feminine and fun aesthetic.”

“The exaggerated shapes and delicate fabrics compliment Nicola so well,” Aimée shared. “We also love that Simone is half-Irish. As Nicola is a Galway girl, it felt [like] the perfect fit.”

But when the Bridgerton actress isn’t making people turn heads with her fashion, she’s dropping major secrets about the beloved Netflix series. “Ok I’m just curious,” she began her Twitter post over the weekend, “has anyone spotted the massive Easter Egg about Penelope in the very first scene of Bridgerton?”

After many guesses from her fans, she later revealed the mystery: “When I filmed Penelope’s first scene I chose a prop, a massive massive feather that looked a lot like… ‘The quill.'”

In the last episode of season one, it’s discovered that Nicola is—spoiler alert—Lady Whistledown. Her feathery accessory in the first scene was a subtle hint at her secret identity. Luckily, there’s going to be a season two! Get all the details here.
