Trailer for the second season of Bridgerton released by Netflix

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan appeared to have danced the night away at the after-BAFTAs party – taking off her shoes as she headed for the taxi home.

The 35-year-old woman, who plays Penelope Featherington on the Netflix hit, was said to be helped when she made her way to a black cab.

Nicola, who also stars in Derry Girls, looked stunning in a flowing white dress with lace sleeves and a plunging neckline.

Nicola spiced up her look with a bit of red lipstick but ditched the white heels, probably because they hurt her feet so much that she couldn’t wait until she got home. kick them away.

The actress had high heels dangling from her arms when she arrived at a waiting car around 4am.

After getting in the car, she slipped on her shoes on the seat next to her, obviously thanking her for wanting to give her feet a break.

And it’s likely she’ll prefer that means of transport to the Underground, after it was recently said that people used to stare at her when she boarded the London Underground.

She told Elle UK : “Being famous is like being a dog on Tube. It’s exactly the same energy. When you become famous, everyone looks at you.

“Some people laugh a lot, while some people are afraid of you and don’t want to get close. Some people touch you without asking. Obviously I can still do what I want, but things are different. .

“I went to the pub with my friend a while ago and it was like an animal at the zoo. People just looked and looked. And I remember one time I was bringing my Invisalign out and this person was staring at me right in the eyes quite strange. But honestly, most people are like that, very lovely.”

BAFTA was held last night at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with the stars happily attending the ceremony live after the Covid-19 pandemic forced it to be held via Zoom last year.
