AceShowbiz - Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton, who bring Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton to life on Netflix's celebrated series "Bridgerton", have been dazzling fans both on and off the screen. Their recent appearances at premiere events for the highly-anticipated third season of the show have not only highlighted their style but also underscored the sizzling chemistry between the co-stars.
At the London premiere for "Bridgerton" Season Three - Part Two, Nicola, 37, stunned in an off-the-shoulder pink gown adorned with sequins and intricate beading, complemented by floral lace detailing. She paired her look with burgundy velvet evening gloves, giving her ensemble dramatic flair. Luke, 31, matched Nicola's glam with a black woven co-ord, featuring a futuristic blazer-style jacket adorned with embroidered flowers and oversized coordinating trousers, topped off with shiny black boots.
Their red carpet chemistry was palpable as they embraced and held hands, fueling the buzz among fans. The duo also showed their playful side when Luke graciously stopped to chat with fans and signed autographs, handing out copies of "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton", the book on which the third season is based.
Nicola has spoken about the empowering experience of filming intimate scenes with Luke, revealing they had shot many "romps" by the end of the season. Appearing on "The One Show", the pair shared amusing behind-the-scenes stories, including a scene in a soundproof carriage where they couldn't hear the director yelling "Cut!"
Their connection on and off the screen has evidently grown stronger over the years. Nicola remarked in a TikTok video shared by Elle, "We've known each other now five years and people were like, 'What did you do to build the chemistry?' And I'm like, 'Well, we just stopped repressing it, and then it was fine, we didn't have to do anything.' "
Their journey from "babies in season 1" to polished co-stars has been remarkable. The actors also recently dazzled at the season 3 launch event held at Milton Park Country House in Bowral, Australia, where Nicola wore a chic custom Richard Quinn gown, and Luke looked dapper in a long tan coat, loosely fitting attire, and a sheer tank top.
As part two of "Bridgerton" third season drops on Netflix, fans are set for more steamy scenes and the unfolding romance between Penelope and Colin. In Nicola's words, "This moment has been literal years in the making. I'm so excited we can finally start to share Season 3 with you all."
