‘Bridgerton’ Women Dish On Wigs, Costumes, Intimacy Coordinator And Shonda Rhimes - Forbes

The female stars of Bridgerton, Netflix’s escapist hit of the 2020 holiday season—determined debutante Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor); seemingly innocent Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan); sharp-tongued grand dame Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh); and frustrated feminist Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie)—recently discussed their experiences with wigs, costumes, an intimacy coordinator and working with series executive producer Shonda Rhimes with Decider’s Meghan O’Keefe.

In a virtual conversation sponsored by 92Y in New York, Coughlan said that once she dons her wig, “it does so much of the work for you.” She said she could never wear ‘the same dress twice,” in the series, adding she felt ‘so lucky” to be wearing her costumes and wigs.

Similarly, Dynevor said her attire ‘really informs your character well, really does make you feel really embedded into that role,” while Andoh marveled at the “astonishing” level of detail. “There was a really big ecosystem supporting what gets put on us. It’s a real privilege.”

Discussing her love scenes, whose filming was supervised by an intimacy coordinator, Dynevor said they were filmed like a stunt, “so intricately blocked. We had mats in between us. It was such a comfortable experience, we rehearsed it so well. It’s done and it’s quick.

“I never felt uncomfortable, it was just about getting it right,” she added.

The women also discussed their audition processes, landing their roles and filming the series. Dynevor, for one, called herself “such a fan” of Rhimes, period dramas and and Netflix, noting she believed Bridgerton’s female characters are “empowered” women, and that she believed the series was “going to be different. That really jumped out at me. They delivered on all aspects.”

Andoh explained, “For me, it’s the writing. When you have to work to keep up with the writing, it’s like doing a Shakespeare. With this, you have to live up to the material. Lady Danbury is a character you can get your teeth into.”

Coughlan called her character “contradictory in a lot of ways . . .really sweet, but she can also be really savage. She’s so innocent at the beginning and also very aware that she’s too young to be part of this.”

Dynevor described the series “a real coming of age story in a lot of ways. (As an audience), you’re kind of discovering the world with (Daphne).

“For me, my (personal) coming of age has been very long. (Daphne Bridgerton) doesn’t get any time to find herself, but in the 21^st century, you can take much longer,” have the “luxury” of finding yourself.

Daphne, Dynevor added, is ‘really multi-tasking and figuring out her sexuality in a very short space of time—she couldn’t Google and immediately find an answer,” as women can in the 21st century.
