In this season, Penelope juggles her double life as ‘Lady Whistledown,’ the person behind the town gossip newspaper, and ‘Penelope Featherington,’ the youngest of her family with few marriage prospects.

Erika Okvist, the hair and makeup designer for the latest season of Bridgerton, mentioned how Penelope moves away from oranges and yellows, strong colours that do not suit her skin tone. Through her “glow-up”, she switches to enthralling colours like light blue, turquoise and green, which let her beauty finally shine. Simple sparkly silver jewellery help complete the dazzling diamond look.
