7. Dress Like Royalty With These Bridgerton-Inspired Outfits

Dear Gentle Readers, Bridgerton is back again, and so is its regal and iconic style. The Netflix series, based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling series of romance novels, contains copious amounts of eye candy and each episode serves up outfit inspiration as unforgettable as Lady Whistledown’s scandalous missives. While you might tune in for the romance and all the regency drama, it’s Bridgerton's fashion that truly steals the spotlight. This season, the show’s wardrobe continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts with its empire-waist gowns, opera gloves, and jewels coupled with cottagecore and sexy boudoir dressing.

Should you wish to channel the looks of your favourite Bridgerton character, scroll down below for some inspiration!

1. Glamorous Gowns

The essence of Bridgerton fashion lies in its dramatic, floor-length gowns. Picture yourself in jewel-toned velvet and silk, dripping in lace and intricate embroidery. With empire waistlines that whisper of romance and puffed sleeves that swell with pride, these gowns transform you into a walking, talking masterpiece. While we await our invitations to grand introductions, lavish balls, and opulent galas, these glamorous gowns will make you feel you've stepped straight out of the Regency era, living a life of elegance and sophistication.

2. Puff Sleeves

This season, nearly every character in Bridgerton dons the iconic Regency style—empire waist dresses with puff sleeves. These sleeves were extremely popular during the Regency period, and in 2024, they made a grand comeback with even larger poofs and longer lengths. You can easily pick one with a sweetheart or square neckline and style it with minimalistic jewellery, like delicate chokers or simple drop earrings. For a modern twist, throw on a chic belt to accentuate that empire waist, or go full Bridgerton with lace gloves and a sparkling tiara.

3. Citrus and Summer Colours

If you’re Team Penelope, embrace her distinctive style by opting for her signature colours: green, orange, or yellow. The Featherington clan favours these vibrant hues reminiscent of citrus fruits, ideal for a sunny summer wardrobe. Alternatively, if Penelope's recent fashion choices, such as rich gem tones like emerald green, pique your interest this season, consider exploring the trending "tropical teal" shade as well.

4. Corsets and Empire Waist Lines

In Bridgerton, corsets and empire waistlines are the secret behind every jaw-dropping outfit. Daphne Bridgerton’s nipped-in waist and flowing gowns epitomises this, with corsets offering gentle lift and support, creating smooth silhouettes. The empire waistline, sitting just below the bust, turns mere mortals into goddesses, as seen with Penelope Featherington’s regal, high-waisted gowns.
