Nicola Coughlan is our relatable queen, as proven at the Emmys 2024 when the Bridgerton star had a fangirl moment while posing beside Jennifer Aniston on the red carpet ahead of this year’s awards.
We love a celebrity fan moment at the best of times (remember Rihanna and Natalie Portman at this year’s Paris Fashion Week?), and this was truly an adorable one.
When asked the “strangest thing” about the Emmys red carpet, Coughlan revealed “I went to get my photos taken, and then I looked to my left and Jennifer Aniston was standing right beside me. I heard her voice, and I gasped!”
She added, “I’m normally quite okay, but I mean she’s…she’s Rachel! Like I can’t. Yeah, that was a really crazy one. She’s perfect!”
What an absolute mood.
The Bridgerton star presented the award for best supporting actor in a limited anthology series or movie to Lamorne Morris, with Coughlan explaining that the Emmys was her first red carpet in Hollywood.
We know, literally how?!

The star stunned in a silver metallic dress and matching D’Orsay design heels in a look described as “Penelope meets intergalactic Hollywood siren”.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston’s Emmys look was giving casual bride in a beautifully detailed Oscar de la Renta gown featuring a classic column shape and complemented by Tiffany & Co. jewellery.
Aniston’s The Morning Show received two nominations at the Emmys 2024 awards, with her nominated both as a lead actor and executive producer. The Friends alum is also a former Emmy winner, with her receiving an outstanding comedy actress award in 2002 for her role in the hit show.
So, Ms Nicola Coughlan, we get it. We’d be fangirling too!
