Regencycore returns with Queen Charlotte and her meaningful looks The new Netflix series is full of ideas to emulate and subliminal messages about fashion and beauty clothes
Needless to say, Bridgerton is a masterpiece of contemporary romance. The Netflix series created by Shonda Rhimes TV was launched, not coincidentally, on Christmas Day, 25 December 2020. We found ourselves in the middle of curfew, quite disheartened and wanting to take our minds elsewhere. But the fan fiction, based on actual historical events, immediately drew us in: funny, intriguing, captivating, rose-tinted to the right degree, it had us dreaming with the stories of the Bridgerton family, the intrigues at court and the beautiful gowns, with a soundtrack of modern classics adapted to live music of the Regency era in the background. Now with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, the spin-off that tells the love story between King George (Corey Mylchreest) and his consort, Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio), we are transported to the Georgian past of the late 17th century, while remaining where we left off in the story of Bridgerton season 2, with Anthony and Kate Sharma on their honeymoon and Eloise in her crisis of friendship with Penelope. In short, a return to the dance floors of English country houses bursting with the scent of flowers, and to the royal rooms where the most interesting intrigues are played out, in anticipation of the third season that could be available on the streaming platform this summer. But in anticipation of this new chapter, it is Queen Charlotte who attracts all the attention. Thank you to the costumes and the beautiful looks, which are beautiful to imitate but also loaded with hidden meanings.
And if you are looking for more Easter eggs...
... you should know that there is also an homage to the series Scandal (TV), also produced by Shonda Rhimes: the wedding dress cape is an homage to Olivia Pope's famous capes, which were also designed by costume designer Lyn Elizabeth Paolo at the time.
