Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan glams up for season three premiere in NYC (2024)

Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, and Jonathan Bailey lead the glamour at the season three premiere of their Netflix hit soap Bridgerton, which was held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan's Upper West Side on Monday.

This year, the Irish 37-year-old's character Lady Penelope Featherington takes center stage so she made sure to turn heads wearing a custom Danielle Frankel gown featuring a hip-exaggerating peplum cascading down to a dramatic train.

Nicola accessorized her off-the-shoulder dress with matching white pumps and opera gloves selected by her longtime stylist Aimée Croysdill.

It's no coincidence that Coughlan wore green emerald jewelry with her bright red pout and Gaza ceasefire pin considering she was among 2K people to sign Artists for Palestine's letter 'demanding our governments end their military and political support for Israel.'

Hairstylist Halley Brisker coiffed the Big Mood star's signature blonde locks in middle-parted waves.

Make-up artist Neil Young brought some color to Nicola's alabaster complexion and he defined her bushy brows and applied lashes on her gorgeous baby blues.

Coughlan's character Penelope is not only secretly social pamphlet author Lady Whistledown, she's also courting her 'mentor' Colin Bridgerton (Newton) in season three.

'She's the most prolific gossip writer in London, and she's rich as well that girl you know? Why would she stop?' the SAG Award nominee told GMA3 hours earlier.

'She's got a good thing going.'

When asked if she gossips in real life, Nicola scoffed: 'Yeah of course! Why not? People who say they don't, I don't trust them.'

Luke noted that Colin and Pen aren't the 'classic leads that we've seen previously' in Shondaland's critically-acclaimed, Gossip Girl-style period drama about Regency London high society, which has already been renewed for season four.

'They're not stoic,' the 31-year-old Englishman explained.

'They're kind of like slightly awkward and a bit, you know, goofy at times so it's really nice to see, like, this friends-to-lovers romance play out.'
