Nicola Coughlan's Bubblegum-Pink Gown Confirms Summer's Hottest Color Trend

With buzzy titles like "Bridgerton" and "Derry Girls" added to her accolades, Nicola Coughlan is well-versed in dramatic red carpet style. Following the star's pink-and-black Richard Quinn gown at the Met Gala, Coughlan continued her love letter to the color pink with a voluminous hot-pink Valentino gown for the 2022 BAFTA TV Awards red carpet.

Coughlan's gown featured a smocked hemline and oversize bows along the sleeves. She complemented the dress with a glossy black manicure by Michelle Humphrey, hair by Halley Brisker, and makeup by Neil Young using Pat McGrath Labs. Coughlan's stylist, London-based Aimée Croysdill, paired the fuchsia dress with silver-and-diamond jewelry by Messika.

Pink is one of the biggest color trends of 2022. The playful color was central to Coughlan's character arc in "Bridgerton" and showed Penelope Featherington's maturation during the show's second series. At the BAFTA TV Awards, fuchsia and playful bubblegum shades were worn by many celebrities, including Michelle Keegan and Katie Piper. In the US, bright-pink outfits filled the red carpet at the Grammys this past April. And let's not forget the major pink fashion moment that kicked off 2022: Rihanna's vintage pink Chanel puffer jacket worn for her pregnancy announcement photo shoot.
