The latest season of the popular period drama, Bridgerton, which released recently, has brought back with it the high-society drama, scandalous gossip, and the luxe fashion of the Regency era. While the sizzling 'friends to lovers' plot has captured the internet's interest,—Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, the third Bridgerton son, are at the center of the third season's plot—pastel silhouettes, diamond chokers, and pretty florals have piqued the interest of fashion enthusiasts.
The costumes in Bridgerton are an additional character in the plot. They are indicators of the mood, flavour, and vibe of the episode, and faintly hint at the trajectory of the season. For instance, in season one, Daphne is seen sporting lighter shades of blue, yellow, green, and pink, symbolising her 'Bridgerton' status in society, while in season two, Kate Sharma, the elder sibling, is wearing sophisticated attires, depicting her confident yet dutiful and protective personality.
In the latest season, Penelope's wardrobe transformation is striking. Costume designer John Glaser has used bold colours, drawing all the attention on her. Her emerald green empire-style dress adorned with black decorated tulle, for instance, subtly hints at hope and a willingness for change.
Amid all this mood clothing, florals have reigned supreme on the costume moodboard. They continue to be used extensively even in the latest season, providing us with more inspiration for our summer wardrobe. Knowing that we are only in the middle of summer, let's embrace the trend and live our Bridgerton dreams. Here are some fashion brands and stylish accessories that will make you feel like a Bridgerton lady, albeit in a modern-day setup.
