Shop frocks with 1800s fashion vibes you can wear in 2024.
Can't stop thinking about Bridgerton? We can't blame you. The Gossip Girl-esque period piece set in Regency-era London has no shortage of drama, romance and jaw-dropping fashion.
We're at the edge of our seats waiting for season 3 to come out on May 16. The Netflix series, adapted from Julia Quinn's novels, has us gawking at its stunning ensembles. We can't wait to see 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 teased 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 — for instance, we’d take a warmer color and a cooler color and combine them, so when you’re looking at a dress, you’re not totally sure if it’s blue or green."
Glaser previously collaborated with Ellen Mirojnick, who led the costumes team during season 1. Mirojnick created a whopping 6,300 full looks for season 1. In 2020, Mirojnick explained to ET how she interpreted 1800s fashion for the modern screen.
"What we wanted to do was reinvent a particular way in which you look at the Regency period... because this isn't historically correct, but it is an interpretation of the Regency period," she said. "And we wanted so much for it to be beautiful, aspirational and absolutely appealing to a modern audience."
Although we don't have a ball to go to any time soon, we can emulate the style — particularly with frocks that say Regency chic. Think empire or drop waist, puffed sleeves and square necklines. Soft colors, textures and modern interpretations or Regency-era styles inspired our selections below.
