Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan stuns at Dublin premiere

Nicola Coughlan has proved herself to be quite the fashionista when it comes to walking the red carpet, and the Galway woman is taking every opportunity to out-do herself while promoting the newest season of Bridgerton, in which she stars.

The Dublin premiere of Season 3 Part II of the Netflix mega hit took place at The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield Square where guests will get a sneak peek at the hotly-anticipated first episode from the second half of the season.

The current season follows the dramatic love story of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).

Going by fan reactions online, the first few episodes have proved to be a runaway success (the carriage scene, in particular, seems to have captured the imaginations of many).

Styled as always by the talented Aimée Croysdill, the homecoming saw Coughlan in a beautiful custom-made gown from Erdem.

Featuring sheer detailing across the bust, the actor accessorised with peep-toe heels and a glittering brooch in the shape of a bumblebee – a staple symbol of the show.

Speaking from the red carpet, Coughlan told RTÉ Lifestyle that said that she wanted something “really special to come home in”.

British actor Luke Newton opted for an Irish design for the occasion. Matching Coughlan as perfectly off-screen as on, he wore a classic black blazer and brogues from Simone Rocha, featuring some statement pearl detailing.

“I wanted to try and wear as many Irish designers as possible on the [Irish] part of the trip,” he told RTÉ Lifestyle.

Earlier in the day, the duo took a trip to Dublin’s Trinity College to promote the premiere. While Nicola wore a gorgeous green dress with off-the-shoulder detailing, as well as her Artists4Ceasefire pin, Luke kept things casual with a jeans, white shirt and an aviator jacket.

On Friday, June 7, The Galway Fleadh will welcome the stars for a special screening at Pálás Cinema. Stay tuned to RTÉ Lifestyle for all the red carpet details.

The final four episodes are set to stream on June 13 on Netflix.
