Bridgerton Season 3 PART 2 is out today! OMG. It was really stupid for Netflix to split up an eight-episode season into two parts, but here we are. I suspect that it was supposed to be an anti-binge-watch scheme. Meaning, if you mainline eight hours straight of Bridgerton, you might go into a sugar coma. I love the series but yeah, I don’t recommend binge-watching any of the seasons either. Take your time, enjoy the nuances, let it become a water-cooler show.

Anyway, ahead of Part 2’s drop, the Bridgerton cast did another screening event at Leicester Square in London. Nicola Coughlan basically dressed up like a frothy bride in a pink Rodarte wedding gown with a matching veil. The burgundy gloves are a strange choice but I appreciate that she was mixing it up. Luke Newton… does not have much presence, on or off screen. Bless his heart. That’s what I always think about Colin Bridgerton and Penelope’s love for him: “Really, him? Bless his heart.” The heart wants what it wants. Meanwhile, Nicola had been killing it with how she talks about her body and how she claps back on those dumbass body-shaming trolls:

“I think if you wear corsetry for long enough, your body really molds to it,” she explains of the show’s costumes. “Sometimes they come in a fitting for a fashion designer and they put a corset on me and I’m like, ‘Oh, you can go tight,’ and they go, ‘What do you mean?’ I’m like, ‘My body now will go whew.’ I saw some trolls. They were like, ‘They photoshopped your waist,’ and I was like, ‘No, they did not,’” she continues.

Earlier this week, Coughlan, 37, gave a cheeky response at a fan event in Dublin after she was told she was “very brave” for stripping down on the show.

“You know, I think it is hard,” she shared in a clip posted on social media, “because I think women with my body type — women with perfect breasts — we don’t get to see ourselves on screen enough. I am a very proud member of the perfect breasts community, and I hope you enjoy seeing them,” she added.

Yeah, I don’t believe they’re Photoshopping Nicola’s already-corseted waist, because I don’t believe Nicola is as “big” as people make her out to be. She’s a short woman with curves and people act like she’s as big as a house. It’s insane. And yes, she has an excellent rack.
