Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan Teaches You Bridgerton Slang | Vanity Fair

[@AuthorZaraHoffman]

Her rant about "spinster" and her explanation of "second" and "dowager" gave me LIFE

[@tontonjeannot6089]

I'm an old "bachelor", why can't I be called a "spinster man?"

[@nix2747]

I had to pause the video at her Spinster rant to find this comment. When Sis went, "look.." I knew it was a topic for her.

[@soupdragon151]

​ @Tonton Jeannot Spinsters were always unmarried women, literally spinning wool for their livelyhood. Not a male profession.

[@lakiukx]

Her whole vibe is just *chef's kiss*. I would sell my soul to be her best friend.

[@DropdeadGamingLive]

You can be my best friend, you'd be to keep your soul but ... I'll have to admit, I do lack the vibe! But eh, you'd keep your soul ? haha! I really need to learn how to make friends -_-

[@charlottecoster6228]

Fun fact about the word spinster - back in the day it was simply a job title, it originally meant that you worked in spinning (ie wool). These women were some of the few that had their own income and actually became so rich that they didn’t see the need to get married at all (and also didn’t want to hand that income over to their husband). Therefore most of them stayed unmarried. Men became threatened by their independence and started using the word spinster as a derogatory term which stuck and that’s how it has the negative connotations today! I found that really interesting and love the empowerment behind all the negativity. Those spinsters were the original boss a*s b*tches haha!

[@ana-mh4yt]

okay but her dress compliments her eyes so much! and that eyeliner!

[@theeleanorshellstrop]

I agree! one of her best looks

[@hoppytoad79]

She is the full package deal, and I am here for it.

[@mitsycat2803]

I love burgundy liner. Especially liquid liner. It's actually surprisingly hard to find though. Wonder what she uses. It's so rich, really making her eyes pop. I have hazel eyes and it brings out the green in mine. I don't think it looks good on everyone though. My mom tried mine, she has tan skin, blonde hair, brown eyes... it wasn't good. She ended up looking like she had pink eye. Purple was good on her, so was brown, but that little bit of red tones in the burgundy was a disaster.

[@omphemetsemonewe8245]

I could listen to Nicola speak all day.

"The swoon is basically a regency death-drop." ~Nicola Coughlan, 2021

[@neadod2902]

I still can't believe that this stunning woman is 34.

[@carrollgirl547]

She is stunning

[@aya123444]

She looks 19!!! It's crazy

[@emmadawson2360]

It's a tad weird for people, in their 30s, to be playing 16 year olds. But Nicola & her co-stars are so believable as teenagers.

[@shekinahdonasco1979]

She's too adorable😍 must protect her at all cost🤗

[@Wazzaaap]

Looking forward to Derry Girls’ 3rd season! 😄 She, and the whole cast, are fantastic ♥️

[@aheddle1623]

There's a third season!!! I'm so excited :))))

[@AJ-sx4zz]

Its such a good show

[@abigailshoes]

I miss them so much!

[@fsinjin60]

You need to see their British Baking show appearance

[@AJ-sx4zz]

I've seen it lol it was a blast

[@Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

Love that she just fully leaned into the Maggie Smith voice at certain points.

[@ariabi3026]

Nicola is so gorgeous 😍 i hope her style in bridgerton will evolve that will bring out his loveliness and badass character 😍

[@somerandomgirlwholikeswrit9236]

Me, someone who pronounced it as 'vis-count' as a child and now pronounces it correctly as a teenager; 👁👄👁

[@somerandomgirlwholikeswrit9236]

@Hopeless Fangirl I realise that now. 😂😂

[@makiita26]

Love her!! Shes got the most beautiful eyes and a great personality!

[@rrdbrooks3929]

She is so funny and down to earth.

[@marytayin]

She can imitate Dame Maggie Smith's voice really well.😂😘

[@karenivonne4277]

I love the way she speaks!! Wish she was my friend, I would have such a blast

[@gloriousg]

How I love her Irish accent

[@stygiantwst]

Penelope's the Emerald

[@zenwilds2911]

I love her. She had me at adopt, don't shop Beautiful woman, inside and out.

[@redroots3103]

Blue is your colour, my dear. So beautiful 😍

[@mitsycat2803]

She didn't get everything exactly right, but she did pretty good. I usually avoid watching interviews with actors when I actually like a character because if I end up being annoyed by the actor it kind of ruins the show/movie for me. Took a chance here, because I love her as Penelope, but glad I did. She's adorable lol. Seems like a sweetheart.

[@jspohl]

Proving she is lovely in blues and greens. 🌸

[@TheDanaYiShow]

"hot single b***h" 😂😂😂

[@isla4138]

I love the way both her series’s have been getting nearer to another season and I love that like Derry girls is ready for season 3 and Bridgerton is ready for season 2 😌😇😁😁😁

[@elsieharina]

[@Navoo2008]

She. Is. Gorgeous!!

[@katherinemaas6712]

Nicola is simply the cutest, funniest human being I've ever seen.

[@carrollgirl547]

You are so darling. Looking forward to season two of Bridgerton

[@macunsolicitied]

She's lovely and seems like a fun date. Would ask her out yesterday.

[@nix2747]

Love your name

[@KimberlyWetherbee]

OK, she's the cutest thing in the history of things.

[@spicy_sweet_potatoes]

She’s the main female lead for bridgerton season 4 and I absolutely cannot wait🔥😍❤️

[@drartemisa21]

Aren't you happy it happened a season earlier,? 😉

[@DezMarivette]

Wow after a decade of romance novel reading, I learn the deeper meaning of “Ton.”

[@dramatic_romantic]

She's so adorable!

[@LaurenSumMusic]

Thank you for the education! Make haste with season II!

[@eugelc]

Oh my god i love herr! She is amazing in Derry Girls and in Bridgerton, Penelope is one of my fav characters, i hope she gets her way in every aspect in S2

[@parissaterrill4500]

Read the 4th book in the Bridgestone series - Penelope definitely gets her way!!

[@kelliv2995]

She’s adorable

[@amanda_2406]

fun fact :promenad is a word in swedish, you can say ''vill du ta en promenad?'' which basicly means '' wanna go for a walk?''

[@soupdragon151]

Its french isn't it, for "walk" theres a place in Nice in France named "Le Promenade de les Anglais" literally "the english walk" because so many wealthy english society people use to promenade or walk up and down the seafront, to see and be seen

[@user-bj7em4fv1p]

I don’t even watch Bridgerton, just dropping by to say she is gorgeous

[@theylied1776]

Well, snuff was mostly tobacco but it used to be laced with opium.

[@theeleanorshellstrop]

I love her sm???? She and Claudia are so funny

[@yulisagarcia2475]

I want another lesson. Nicola is the best

[@luizamariadacosta4296]

her vibe is 💯

[@longbeachmaumba7059]

Love her accent. I can hear a little bit of American too.

[@NotYowBusiness]

It's just an Irish accent...

[@becait]

It’s irish but the Irish accent influences a lot of American southern accents I think

[@marshamason-sowell4568]

Nicola is the cutest! Great info.... I could've definitely used this while watching Bridgerton.

[@theagenttomato]

Nicola keeping it real in 2021, love it!

[@keeyji]

[@ShanePierce247]

It’s so nice to see her NOT IN YELLOW.

[@nikkozamora9528]

In the books, when she grow a bit and became quite older , Penelope was seen wearing more blues. That's a foreshadowing of the things to come in books and her love life

[@ShabbySparklyCraftsbyDiane]

Nicola is adorable!

[@ametatsu]

Nicola, you are perfect

[@calico_cat3555]

Miniatures were a real thing, not something just made up for Bridgerton.

[@kykis9]

If my calculations are correct, Bridgerton's 2nd season will materialize the moment you've watched the first season over 200k times.

[@janeydoe3465]

You're smart

[@nix2747]

I've checked the maths and you are correct.
