Nicola Coughlan made a name for herself playing Clare Devlin in Derry Girls and, shortly after, Hannah Dalton in Harlots. But it was her role as the unassuming Penelope Featherington (later revealed to the gossipy Lady Whistledown) in Netflix’s Bridgerton that cemented the actress as a worldwide star. Now, she’s also made her foray into the Mattel universe as Diplomat Barbie in the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig flick.
In the time since her breakout role, Coughlan has proven that her style is just as noteworthy as her acting skills. The Irish actress has formed relationships with brands both established and rising—Valentino, Richard Quinn, Shushu/tong, among others. Her red carpet wears ocassionally point to her Regency-era characters—think pouf gowns, corsets—but she also loves a pop of color here or latex detail there. Below, we look back at Coughlan’s style, from Derry Girls to Bridgerton.
