Can't stop thinking about Bridgerton? We can't blame you. The period piece, set in Regency-era London, has no shortage of drama, romance and jaw-dropping fashion.
Part 2 of season 3 has just been released, adding to the excitement. The Netflix series, adapted from Julia Quinn's novels, has us gawking at its stunning ensembles. We love seeing all the dramatic new looks on Claudia Jessie, Simone Ashley, Nicola Coughlin and more of the cast.
Costume designer John Glaser is responsible for season 3's looks and explained his inspiration in a recent interview with Vogue.
"This season, because of the story we’re telling, we thought, Let’s make it softer." he shared. "It’s more textural, a little more blurry. We layered fabrics," Glaser added. From season one, the costume designers have had a vision for clothing that is "beautiful, aspirational, and absolutely appealing to a modern audience," according to Ellen Mirojnick, season one's lead designer. That may be why it's so easy to take style cues from the looks and wear them today.
If you're going to a Regency-themed party, we have stunning picks for you — but we also found many wearable, beautifully modern styles with the same romantic influence to wear any time. Think empire or drop waist, puffed sleeves and square necklines in floral prints and soft hues. Whether you fancy yourself a Queen Charlotte, Daphne Bridgerton, or even Lady Featherington, there's a frock to catch your eye.
So grab your tea and shop our selection of Bridgerton-esque dresses below.
