Forget the romance; the captivating glow of Bridgerton is all about the skin. We owe a huge thanks to hair and makeup designer Erika Ökvist and her talented team for Penelope Featherington’s mesmerizing looks in Season 3!
Visual Symphony in Season Three
The new season’s beauty has been described by Ökvist as a “visual symphony
” where every character harmonizes under the classic influence of Old Hollywood glamor. This decision truly shines through Penelope Featherington’s transformation.
Evolution of Beauty Moments
According to Ökvist, beauty moments have been leveled up
this season, reflecting each character’s evolution. For example, Penelope’s glow-up echoes that of Old Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe.
A Unified Theme with Individual Flair
The show’s beauty department head Louisa V. Anthony, lauded by Nicola Coughlan herself during press events, ensures cohesiveness while respecting individuality. Ökvist noted that these characters were akin to today’s influencers, emphasizing that they wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the same look again
.
The Inspiration Behind the Makeover
Sophie Canale, the costume designer for Bridgerton Season 3, channeled Parisian fashion elements into Penelope’s emerald dress. Remarkably, this stunning gown was precisely what Penelope requested at the modiste—an ode to her transformation.
Strategically Leveled Up
The skincare device responsible for that luminous glow? While details remain under wraps, it’s clear that a deliberate skincare strategy complements her makeup. As Erika explains, every touch-up and creation was about making each moment count—even those showstopping costumes had significant thought behind them!
