Bridgerton Star: Corsets? Tracksuits Are My Go-To!
18 Jan
Summary
- Actress Claudia Jessie prefers tracksuits over corsets off-set.
- Eloise and Francesca Bridgerton will lead upcoming seasons.
- Costumes were inspired by Regency era but prioritized comfort.
Claudia Jessie, who portrays Eloise Bridgerton, shared that her personal style starkly contrasts with her character's Regency-era fashion. She humorously admitted to preferring comfortable tracksuits over corsets once filming concludes, despite the show's iconic ball gowns and elaborate costumes. These opulent ensembles, inspired by historical drawings, were designed to be aspirational rather than strictly accurate.
While the show's costumes are visually stunning, Jessie highlighted that beneath the elaborate exteriors, practicality often dictates choices. She noted that elements like Spanx and microphone packs are the more significant considerations for comfort during filming. This insight offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the reality of bringing historical fashion to life on screen for modern audiences.
Looking ahead, showrunner Jess Brownell has confirmed that Eloise and Francesca Bridgerton will be central to future seasons. An embroidered clue at the season 4 premiere pointed to Eloise and Francesca leading seasons 5 and 6, promising expanded storylines for these beloved characters. Part one of season 4 premiered on January 29.
