Will Penelope Featherington be the diamond of Bridgerton’s third season?
We think so, as a teaser video announcing the start of season three production gave a quick look at the wallflower’s transformation into a striking beauty. That’s not to say Penelope wasn’t gorgeous before, but the footage released on July 20 showed Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, with her hair up in a stunning updo and great makeup.
We mean, the sweeping bangs and smoky eye aren’t what we usually see on Featherington’s quiet daughter. This transformation isn’t necessarily a surprise to fans of the Bridgerton books, as Romancing Mister Bridgerton — the Julia Quinn novel that inspired this season — introduces a new look to Penelope.
In fact, Nicola told E! News in May that season three will be “much different.” Namely, viewers will watch her character “finally become a woman in season three and come into her own.”
Of course, Penelope isn’t the only one slated to shine, as Nicola teased that Luke Newton, who plays her other half, Colin Bridgerton, has a lot of leading man energy this season.
“I saw a picture of [Luke] by example today,” she said at the time, “and they took it from boy band to leading man in a major way.”
