Nicola Coughlan Responds to Criticism Over Bra Top: 'Confident and Proud'

Nicola Coughlan doesn't entertain trolls who criticize her fashion choices.

Coughlan, who is 37 years old, responded to a critic who questioned her decision to wear a bra as a top on her Instagram Story on Wednesday, April 23. She shared a mirror selfie showing the social media user's comment that said, "Why is she in her bra??" Coughlan confidently replied, "Cos it looked good."

Coughlan’s bra top was worn during a recent photoshoot with her Bridgerton costar Luke Newton. In the photos, she flaunted a silky crop top with a low cut neckline and spaghetti straps from Ganni. She matched it with a black maxi skirt and a shiny blazer adorned with gold buttons. To complete her look, she added statement gold earrings.

On the other hand, Newton, who is 31 years old, opted for a gray button-up shirt tucked halfway into black baggy pants. He styled his outfit with white sneakers. During the photoshoot, the pair, who portray love interests in the new season of Bridgerton and have developed a close friendship in real life, posed in lawn chairs and on a balcony.

The actors have been seen together at various red carpet events before, such as the recent Bridgerton season 3 premiere in Australia. Coughlan looked stunning in a custom Richard Quinn dress with an off-the-shoulder bodice and an A-line skirt adorned with sparkly beads.

Her makeup included long lashes, red lips, rosy cheeks, and a sharp contour. She wore her bronde tresses down and straightened.

On the red carpet, she held hands with Newton. He rocked a sheer tank top, a tan coat, and pleated off-white pants. He elevated the look with patent leather dress shoes and a chain necklace.

In February, at the Bridgerton season 3 screening in London, the pair hugged each other. Coughlan wore a Stella McCartney blazer dress while Newton looked stylish in a dark flowy outfit.

Moreover, Coughlan's close friendship with her Bridgerton costar Luke Newton is evident in their playful photoshoot, further demonstrating that true friendship extends beyond physical appearances or fashion choices.
