Season three of Bridgerton has captivated audiences on Netflix, maintaining its status as a fan-favorite. As new romances blossom, so do the fan theories from dedicated viewers. Among the most talked-about aspects this season is Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie. In a recent interview, Jessie opened up about her experience and surprising revelations about her character.
Behind the Theory Craze
A popular topic among fans has been Eloise’s costume details. Reddit users speculated that a particular ballgown worn by Eloise might hint at a love story from Julia Quinn’s novel To Sir Philip, with Love. Some fans pointed out that the dress was Philip’s favorite color, light green, and featured a flower pattern resembling geraniums—the same flowers Philip sends Eloise in the book.
Costume Designers Weigh In
However, the show’s costume designers John Glaser, George Sayer, and Dougie Hawkes have debunked these theories. Speaking to People, Sayer explained, The intention wasn’t there
, while Glaser added, It’s after the fact when people dissect it… It just was there. It’s flattering to think that we’re that smart. We’re not.
Eloise’s Queer Read
The showrunner Jess Brownell also addressed another prevalent theory—that Eloise might be queer. Brownell stated to TVLine, We’ve talked about Eloise in the room a lot…, emphasizing that they wanted to maintain space for a character who prioritizes cerebral pursuits over romance.
An Enjoyable Experience for Claudia Jessie
Reflecting on her portrayal of Eloise, Jessie shared her fondness for the role: It was often ridiculous and thoroughly enjoyable.
Throughout season three’s dramatic twists and turns, Jessie’s commitment to bringing depth and nuance to Eloise has resonated powerfully with fans.
Complex Relationships Unraveled
The latest season also explores intricate relationships among characters. For example, Penelope Featherington’s secret is exposed by Colin Bridgerton in an emotional scene described as a ‘miracle of succinct heartbreak’ by Brownell.
The Future of Bridgerton
As viewers eagerly await what lies ahead for their favorite characters, it’s clear that eloquent storytelling combined with powerful performances have solidified Bridgerton’s place as a cornerstone of modern streaming content. Season three is available on Netflix now, continuing to offer surprises and heartfelt moments in equal measure.
