Bridgerton. The show that single-handedly snapped us out of the COVID-19 blues and into a world of romance, drama, and jaw-dropping fashion. There’s something about soft pastel gowns and intricate bodices that make you want to get off the couch, ditch the sweatpants, and prance through a meadow. Bonus points if you can find a handsome Duke to accompany you! So, dear reader, we present you with a few looks inspired by your favorite Bridgerton characters to help fulfill all of your 19th-century fashion envy.
Daphne Bridgerton
Puffy sleeves, light colors, and floral print will be your best friends. Babydoll dresses and bustier tops paired with light denim create effortlessly feminine silhouettes that channel Daphne’s cottage core aesthetic. Top off the look with dainty kitten heels or neutral flats. Reformation is basically the Holy Grail for all things Daphne Bridgerton, so click here to shop similar styles!

Eloise Bridgerton
Boundary-pushing Eloise Bridgerton would definitely be a fan of the lingerie as outerwear trend that has become so popular within the last few years. Layer an intricate bodysuit, like this one from Etsy, over a high neck blouse and pair with sophisticated trousers to add some edge to the soft colors and delicate fabrics. Complete the look with chunky white sneakers or Doc Martens.

If pastels aren’t your thing, we’ve got you covered. A more tailored look incorporating rich materials like leather or velvet will add a sultry and *mysterious* vibe, rivaling the Duke’s brooding nature. Layer a darker floral dress or bustier top over a flowy blouse and top it off with a blazer. Complete the look with chunky loafers, like these ones from Steve Madden!
