The pale blue gown was inspired by Dior’s new look …
We’re obsessed with Nicola Coughlan’s style, both on the FROW and on the red carpet. This awards season, she has been wowing in looks from Irish designer Simone Rocha all the way to Dior, which speaks to a blossoming relationship between her and the heritage French fashion house: she recently attended the Dior couture SS25 fashion show in Paris, where she is said to have been fitted for the exquisite custom Dior dress she wore to the 2025 SAG Awards in LA. She received a solo nomination for Best Actress in the Drama category for her role as Penelope Featherington in the cult Netflix show Bridgerton.

She was joined on the red carpet by fellow Irish actress Ruth Bradley, nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for the TV show Slow Horses. She also wore Dior, a simple black silk one-shoulder dress with minimal jewellery.
