If Canneseries 2025 had a best dressed award, Nicola Coughlan would’ve taken it—twice. The Bridgerton star didn’t just show up for the vibes—she came to serve looks and substance.
She gave us not one but two unforgettable Canneseries moments. One was full-on disco glam, the other pure couture symbolism—and both proved Nicola isn’t just that girl. She’s that woman.
First Came Sequins, Then Came Purpose
Let’s start with her first appearance on the pink carpet, where Nicola wore a glittering green strapless gown that screamed midday disco queen.

She styled it with a soft pink sweater knotted over her shoulders—yes, that Country Club move Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Sofia Richie have all tried off-duty, but Nicola brought it straight to the red carpet. The sweater created a second neckline, added color contrast, and somehow made “Palm Beach meets Paris Fashion Week” look like a real aesthetic.
The vibe? Pure fashion girl energy. Not only did she bend the rules, she did it in the South of France, under the daylight, on a pink carpet, like a total pro. Sequins at noon and preppy layers? Only Nicola.
Then She Took the Stage—And Our Breath Away
But it wasn’t just about sparkle. On Monday, at the official Konbini Commitment Award ceremony during Canneseries, Nicola returned to the carpet in a very different kind of dress: a white custom Robert Wun couture gown, designed to resemble a peace lily.

The dress, with its asymmetric peak and sweeping train, wasn’t just fashion—it was a statement. Honored for her fearless activism, Nicola received the Konbini Commitment Award, which celebrates those making change beyond TV.
From advocating for abortion rights in Ireland to standing up for refugees, Palestinian children, and body inclusivity, Nicola’s work off-screen is as impactful as her roles on it.

The Verdict? Queen Behavior
Between a sequined glam-core moment and a sculptural gown rooted in activism, Nicola Coughlan showed us exactly how to use fashion as both a flex and a platform.
She didn’t come to Canneseries to play—it was a masterclass in making every outfit count, every moment matter, and every message heard.
Two dresses, two completely different energies, one icon. Fashion loves her. We love her. And frankly, the world’s better with Nicola Coughlan in it.
