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!!

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

Do you know which one she is she's a 14/16. But the dresses do not flatter her.

Eieiom · 22/05/2024 19:32

@CormorantStrikesBack Sure buddy. That initial post definitely warranted people saying she lies about her size.🙄

C'mon.

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.

I love the wild, structured dresses on her but tbf OP, this is an abomination.

As a five footer myself, there's no way she's like 'oh yeah, super long sleeves, that's a lewk.' Because EVERYTHING HAS SUPER LONG SLEEVES WHEN YOU'RE 5 FOOT.

Oooh I feel better for thhhat.

Yeah a decent stylist could take the bloody sleeves up! 😁

KateMiskin · 22/05/2024 19:52

I don't like any of the dressses posted here- including the huge lilac one with the massive roses- so I guess I would have to agree with you.

KateMiskin · 22/05/2024 19:52

Oh on checking again, bows not roses.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 22/05/2024 19:55

I ADORE her gorgeous self, but a size 10 she ain't.

Guavafish1 · 22/05/2024 19:59

She is not a size 10.... more 14/16.

aplthtoa · 22/05/2024 20:02

Forget her size, have you seen she's 37?! And Eloise (well the actress!) is 34?! It's their make up artists we should be obsessing over!

AnnaMagnani · 22/05/2024 20:03

She is a size 10 but often really really badly styled. It's only looking at some of the better outfits that I've realised she genuinely is a UK 10. And being so short, a size 10 is going to look bigger than a 6ft size 10.

I used to work with a 5ft women who was all in proportion and she was a UK 4/6 and just tiny all over.

I am more or less the same height as her. I am a 12 and definitely look slimmer the she does. I would be really surprised if she’s only 36 around the bust.

My sister is a size 8. We actually have the same measurements but she buys brands that run big and also squeezes into them. I have a few size 10s but my measurements are a size 12.

Beachcomber · 22/05/2024 20:34

I don't care what dress size she or anyone else wears.

I just think that she is a talented actor and comes across as being a lovely person to boot.

She is very charismatic and very good at doing different accents. Seems like a recipe for success to me. I admire any woman who puts herself out there. Go sister.

Newsenmum · 22/05/2024 21:10

So from what I’ve read at some points she was a size 10! I don’t think she is atm when doing videos.

JamesPringle · 22/05/2024 21:17

WTF she's 37?! I thought she was about 23!

AGlinnerOfHope · 22/05/2024 21:27

She's gorgeous. I hadn't realised it was the Derry girl.

she's clearly got a tiny frame and round face, which makes her look extra curvy.

She's the kind of woman that makes me look like Frankenstein's monster.

She would have to work hard at styling, though. Tiny and fair is tricky!

TryingAgainAgainAgain · 22/05/2024 21:28

CormorantStrikesBack · 22/05/2024 19:29

OP - you did say in your first post that a stylist can’t cope with dressing a curvy woman. So I think people have responded to that. Maybe don’t bring her size into it at all then by calling her curvy if you didn’t want people to talk about how some clothes may or may not suit her figure. Which to be honest is what you totally implied in your first post 🤷‍♀️

What a ridiculous comment. Why shouldn't OP discuss how well, or not, stylists dress curvier women?

Moretti76 · 22/05/2024 21:30

FFS! Nicola has famously asked for people not to comment on her body (positive or negative) as she finds it difficult for her mental health. She’s been open about her size to get everyone to STFU that she is a role model for plus size women. She doesn’t feel defined by her size and is sick of people focusing on it.

What is wrong with you people debating what dress size she is, when she is on public record saying she is a UK 10.

Leave her alone!!

FleaDog · 22/05/2024 21:33

That black dress with gold corset over the top looks awesome!!!!

Thing is, though, she herself brings up her size. She can't have it both ways. If you don't want people to talk about your size/weight, don't talk about it yourself - lots of actors won't.

And, sorry, no I don't believe everything she (or any other celeb) says. If you do, you're extremely naive.

LuluBlakey1 · 22/05/2024 21:35

I've never seen her or heard of her before but looking at the photos that have been posted here, I think she is very badly styled and don't think she looks good at all. I wouldn't describe her as pretty based on what I've seen here.

poppyslashtulip · 22/05/2024 21:39

Pretty sure that quote was her saying she was a size 10 in the first season of Derry girls and not commenting on her current size? That was ages ago. I was a size 10 then too 😂

Can't add images but there's a Teen Vogue cover and a Bazaar cover where she looks absolutely stunning - real old style Hollywood glamour, proper Rita Haworth, Bette Davis, Ava Gardner vibes. Just beautiful.

StaunchMomma · 22/05/2024 21:45

She clearly looks good enough for the guy who plays Colin (don't know his name, sorry) to constantly look at her as if he wants to eat her!

Have you seen how close he stands to her! The CHEMISTRY!!

I never ship famous people but those two need to bone,. It's palpable!

I'm not being bitchy. I am saying I know nothing about her and can only judge on the photos posted here which are not at all flattering stylistically or facially.

Your pash on her is ludicrous- you sound like a 12 year old with a crush on a boy band member and argues with everyone that he's wonderful and better than the others. You don't know her - only what you see in the Press. Stop being pathetic. She's just a celeb who will never know who you are or care. You are the one being rude and bitchy.
