We previously told you that Nicola Coughlan's wardrobe is as delectable in real life as it is on screen in Bridgerton, and her latest outfit puts further proof in the pudding. 

One reason we love her style so much is because she's unafraid to experiment with her sartorial agenda. Bright colours, dramatic silhouettes and It-girl-approved styles are constantly on rotation in her wardrobe.
