Top Looks and Misses from the 'Bridgerton' Season 4 Premiere

The grand premiere of 'Bridgerton' Season 4 took center stage at Paris' Palais Brongniart. The event was a mix of stunning regency-inspired fashion and some outfits that could have been more event-appropriate.

As fans eagerly await, the show returns on Netflix starting January 29, with the latter half releasing on February 26. This season unveils the romantic tale of Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek. Luke Thompson resumes his role as Benedict, alongside Yerin Ha as Sophie.

Glimpses of Fashion Sparkle and Fizzle

Participants of the show embraced high-fashion statements at the premiere, though not every look hit the target. Here’s a breakdown of some hits and misses from the evening.

Yerin Ha's Enchanting Ice-Blue Gown

Stepping onto the red carpet, Yerin Ha, portraying Sophie Baek, was a vision in a Prada ice-blue gown. This attire had a glittering halter neck that complemented the beaded bodice cutout and a pleated train that created an enchanting effect under the lights.

The look offered a modern twist on Cinderella's memorable attire, aligned perfectly with 'An Offer from a Gentleman,' the basis for this season.

Luke Thompson's Overly Monochromatic Suit

Luke Thompson, now at the forefront of 'Bridgerton,' opted for an all-black outfit. A combination of a suit, shirt, tie, and lapel flower lacked contrast due to its single color focus. The addition of hues might have added vibrancy to his appearance.

Claudia Jessie's Garden Suit

Claudia Jessie turned heads as Eloise Bridgerton in an oversized floral suit. Adorned with various colorful blooms against a black backdrop, the ensemble offered a vivid contrast, augmented by sleek hair and statement jewelry.

Golda Rosheuvel’s Casual Elegance

Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rosheuvel, arrived in a floor-length sweater dress. Though the burnt orange Sonney outfit was chic with a touch of sparkle, it fell short of the occasion’s glamour, serving better in an informal setting.

Victor Alli's Modern Class

Victor Alli, as Lord John Stirling, showcased modern style in a loosely cut, tie-free black suit. His white shirt peeked from under the suit, enhanced by a small silver brooch, delivering a sophisticated fashion statement.

Bold Ensemble by Hannah Dodd

Portraying Francesca Bridgerton, Hannah Dodd chose a daring Giambattista Valli set. The ensemble, featuring a cropped shrug and voluminous skirt, exuded both innovation and elegance, complemented by sleek accessories.

Adjoa Andoh: Accessory Adjustments Needed

Playing Lady Danbury, Adjoa Andoh wowed in a custom lace gown. However, her choice of open-toed footwear seemed underwhelming against the sophisticated dress. A switch to more formal shoes and bold earrings could have matched the gown’s grandeur.

Katie Leung: Dressed for a Dramatic Entrance

Debuting as Lady Araminta Gun, Katie Leung opted for a Toni Maticevski creation. The gown, with its corset top and bustling skirt, combined traditional touches with modern edge, amplified by luxury accessories.

Shonda Rhimes: A Sparkling Vision

Creator Shonda Rhimes captivated the audience in a shimmering silver dress, styled by Dana Asher Levine. Adorned with sequins and accompanied by a dramatic cape, her ensemble embodied the elegance and authority fitting a creative director of such a celebrated series.
