How did you want to evolve theBridgertonlook for Season 3 while also staying true to the seriess aesthetic?
For Season 2, the costumes were a little bolder in color and more period correct.
And these days, because of the story were telling, we thought, Lets make it softer.
Nicola Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington yearns for a makeover inBridgertonSeason 3.
Its more textural, a little more blurry.
Thats especially the case for Penelope, who has a makeover at the start of the season.
After that, for her new look, we wanted softer, more neutral colours.

Are her dresses green?
We didnt want to reveal anything about where her story might be going.
