Nicola Coughlan's stylist needs to step it up!

This woman is a talented goddess and I'm so disappointed by how she has been styled for the Brigerton promos.
I feel like a lot of stylists cannot cope with a petite curvy woman, it's so annoying.
This woman deserves all the beautiful clothes!!

I remember a promo for a series which starred a plus sized woman and the reviewers were all raving about how great the woman’s outfits were. They were all made by the designers for the series. Couldn’t find anything good that fit her in retail.

Nicola is a size 10, so not plus size.
Yes, she deserves more flattering outfits.

UntiltheGirl · 22/05/2024 18:25

Do you have images? I saw her in some kind of red corseted dress in a photo from some events and she looked wonderful -- she's spectacularly pretty.

Owl9to5 · 22/05/2024 18:27

Is she size 10? I'm not calling her fat but I think that's an American 10 our "14"

35965a · 22/05/2024 18:28

Yeah, she’s not a size 10. Not a UK 10 anyway. She looks gorgeous, I think her stylist is going a great job (if she has one)

PurBal · 22/05/2024 18:30

@Owl9to5 Fairly sure @xsquared is right and she is a UK 10, shorter than average, busty (I hate this word, sorry) and hourglass, but not plus size.

berksandbeyond · 22/05/2024 18:30

She’s not a size 10. She’s fucking fabulous but she is not a size 10

It must be because she’s so busty. That’s mad!

She’s got to be at least a 12 on top for the boobs alone!

Diddleyeyeeye · 22/05/2024 18:34

I’ve been absorbed in the Bridgerton promo stuff. I think Nicola looked spectacular in most of the outfits I’ve seen her in. Apparently she is really into styling herself too.

PurBal · 22/05/2024 18:36

@Newsenmum 🤷‍♀️ I mean, I’m not friends with her nor measured her waist 😂

Whatever her size she looks fantastic.

Bearpawk · 22/05/2024 18:36

Not the point of the thread I know but don't believe she's a size 10 either. She is very short but she has large boobs and a belly. I don't know why celebs have to lie about their size.
She may have found a size 10 item of clothing that fits, as I have - but I'm certainally not a standard 10.

GreatSquareNova · 22/05/2024 18:37

I’m petite and a size 10 and no, she is not a UK 10. That doesn’t mean they can’t dress her well!

PurBal · 22/05/2024 18:39

@Bearpawk you make a good point about vanity sizing.

CapaciousHag · 22/05/2024 18:39

Can you show your evidence, @Eieiom?

In all the photos I’ve ever seen of her off screen (as well as on) she looks, as @UntiltheGirl says, spectacularly pretty and staggeringly well styled.

Confortableorwhat · 22/05/2024 18:42

What's wrong with the styling? The character was supposed to be frumpy in previous series but has had a makeover for this one and looks great.

She's not a 10. She looks way younger than she is though.

CormorantStrikesBack · 22/05/2024 18:43

I’m the same height as her and a similar size, if anything I’d say she’s bigger than me and I’m a 16. Maybe the camera makes her look bigger but she’s not a 10.

which maybe isn’t the point of the thread but I think it backs up the point that stylists don’t know how to dress curvier women who don’t fit the size they’re used to.

PotatoPudding · 22/05/2024 18:43

I am the same height as her and size 12. She’s way bigger than me. No way her hips and chest are 36 inches. Her Bridgerton dresses hid a multitude of sins. She is gorgeous but she is not a size 10.

Yes, she deserves more flattering outfits.

She’s very big so definitely not a size 10.

What’s wrong with her styling?

I have loved this series of Bridgerton so far and slightly annoyed at having to wait weeks til the next episodes.

Eieiom · 22/05/2024 19:00

I don't love the silhouettes on these and the fits seem off.

I wish I looked as good as her - I don’t think she’s a size 10 and I’m not sure where that’s come from but I’m far from one myself so what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

xsquared · 22/05/2024 19:04

Do most posters think she's lying about her dress size then?

Her red carpet dresses tend to be a bit whacky, hence why I agree they need to dress her in something that suits her, rather than those shapeless monstrosities.

DisforDarkChocolate · 22/05/2024 19:04

She's fabulous and I've loved most of the outfits she wears. If you follow her on Instagram she's sticking to a look she likes. I wish I had her amazing skin.

Eieiom · 22/05/2024 19:06

And this. No.
And the hair styling has been lazy too.
I just see a huge disparity between the cohesiveness of the wardrobes she has and Simone Ashley for example.

She’s definitely a UK size 10/12. I got her autograph at Selfridges after S1 came out and everything was either a 10 or 12. She is incredibly tiny though. I’d say 5ft max.
