Nicola Coughlan's striking 'Diamond of the Season' Emmy's gown was a thing of dreams
It was a glamorous sartorial affair at last night's 76th Primetime Emmy Awards with many of our favourite notable names stepping out dressed to impress.
One shining star that caught our attention in particular was Bridgerton’s leading lady, Nicola Coughlan.

For the opulent occasion, the Irish actress made sure to make a statement, landing on a custom-made Prabal Gurung gown which would most definitely secure her a space as the Diamond of the Season.
Constructed from thousands, if not millions of glistening metallic silver sequins, Nicola’s gown resembled a light-catching disco ball. The silhouette of the decadent ensemble paid homage to the 1940s favoured peplum waistline, which was paired over a sleek, pencil maxi skirt made from the same fabric.
The top of the ensemble was just as stunning and consisted of an off-the-shoulder neckline with sharp shoulder accents.
Penelope Featherington (Nicola’s character in Bridgerton) paired her show stopping gown with a sleek, middle-parted hairstyle, a glowing makeup look which was topped off with a subtle rosy lip gloss and a selection of diamond jewellery from De Beers.
Nicola was of course in good company for the evening, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora and her Bridgerton co-star Jonathan Bailey, all of whom dressed to impress in a variety of statement ensembles.
The 37-year-old actress wore the same dress to present Lamorne Morris with the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series for his role in Fargo.

Though neither Bridgerton nor Nicola went home with an Emmy Award, it’s safe to say that her Prabal Gurung gown acted as a mantlepiece-display-worthy accolade of its own.
