Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan is the latest SKIMS model: Actress slips into form-fitting slips after baring all as Lady Penelope in six-minute sex scene

Must read

Kim Kardashian has said she is a huge fan of Bridgerton

So it comes as little surprise that she’s enlisted Nicola Coughlan, who plays Lady Bridgerton, née Featherington to model for her latest SKIMS Soft Lounge collection. 

No doubt Kim, 43, was rather taken by the six-minute sex scene in the latest Bridgerton drop which saw Nicola’s character baring all during a romp with Luke Bridgerton

Nicola, 37, shared the first image of herself modelling the line on Instagram on Monday, slipping into a spaghetti strap number which can be worn under clothes or on its own and the SKIMS account also shared the look in various colours. 

And the comments section went wild with fellow Bridgerton star Simone Ashley posting lots of love heart emojis.

During a Q&A session recently, an audience member made a back-handed comment about Nicola’s body, calling her ‘very brave’ for taking on the role of Penelope.

Nicola quipped: ‘You know, it is hard because I think women with my body type — women with perfect breasts — we don’t get to see ourselves onscreen enough.

‘And I’m very proud as a member of the perfect breasts community. I hope you enjoy seeing them.’

In an interview with Radio Times, Nicola said: ‘There is one scene where I am very naked on camera and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest “f**k you” to all the conversations surrounding my body. 

‘It was amazingly empowering. Having now watched those scenes, I’m so proud of them.’ 

Bridgerton series three part two gives fans a taste of the steamy sex that made its first season, when Nicola stripped fully nude ahead of her and Luke Newton’s much-talked-about romp.

The steamy moment between newly-engaged Penelope and Colin lasts for a whole six minutes.

Nicola and Luke previously revealing that they filmed so many romps that by the end they were comfortable lounging around together naked between takes. 

The Derry Girls star previously revealed: ‘I think we’ve won the sauciness for this series!’ as she detailed the sex scenes. 

She teased what fans can expect to see, telling Entertainment Weekly: ‘We did break a piece of furniture while doing one scene. It’s a little bit like a stunt in which they’re like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna do this, this, and this.

‘But then they gave us freedom and we had a lot of say in how we did those scenes and what we wanted to do. That makes you feel quite empowered.

‘So we felt super. They were actually really enjoyable. I didn’t think they would be. It was fun.’

The critics’ views on Bridgerton series three part two  

Evening Standard

Rating:

Vicky Jessop: ‘Steamy this is not. Watching it feels like seeing two teenagers fumbling their way through an awkward clinch. Is Bridgerton losing its touch? Francesca’s love affair with Lord John Stirling is snooze-worthy – all those painful silences! Yes, we get it, they’re shy!’  

The Telegraph 

Rating:

Anita Singh: ‘Aside from Penelope’s heaving bosom, though, this third series remains a dud. Her extensive sex scene with Colin has a cringe-making quality – think EL James’ Fifty Shades with all of the terrible dialogue but none of the nipple clamps. Away from the main couple, the plot barely exists.’ 

The Independent 

Rating:

Kate Rosseinsky: ‘The wheels are starting to come off the Bridgerton carriage – and the final two episodes will need to be pretty dramatic to get things back on track.’ 

The Daily Mail 

Rating:

Christopher Stevens: ‘Stars Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton have been promising for weeks that this time, in two newly released episodes, Bridgerton goes all the way. And they weren’t fibbing… though, for such an explicit sex scene, it was also oddly chaste.’ 

The Times 

Rating:

Carol Midgley: ‘I call Bridgerton the “toffs, t**s and titles” show, but here another t-word is at play — tenderness. Coughlan’s aforementioned breasts should get some kind of award for all the heaving they do. Good lord, they’re up and down in those frocks like a pair of airbags.’

Variety

Aramide Timudu: ‘The primary sex scene between Polin involving a full-length mirror and a chaise lounge is one of the sexiest things seen on television since Bridgerton Season 1. Fans may still gripe at the lack of sensual activity on screen, but this mirror section is absolutely intoxicating and beautifully done.’
