Meanwhile, to signify Kate’s strong character, she adorns deep blue and purple gowns, coupled with Indian silk and jewelry - a way of staying true to the Sharma family’s heritage. To match Edwina’s innocent nature, she wears mainly baby pink and salmon-colored dresses with princess puff sleeves. Each major family in the show has their respective colors the Bridgertons wear different shades of blue while the Featheringtons opt to sport more citrus-y oranges and greens. While the use of plastic flower necklaces and nylon gloves is not historically accurate, the costume design is still nothing short of mesmerizing. This fantastical aspect is not limited to the fashion choices but other elements, like the addition of classical renditions of well-known pop songs such as “Material Girl” by Madonna. However, it is important to note that “Bridgerton” does not advertise itself as an accurate period drama, instead as more of a Regency fantasy.

When their first kiss finally cuts the palpable tension, the excitement the viewers feel is both authentic and well-deserved. These small gestures of brushing lips without kissing or gliding fingers without interlocking them are enough to build an intense frisson within the audience.
Lizzy Talbot, the intimacy coordinator for the show, explained that this new installment is all about the “slow sizzle.” Unlike the first season, which featured steamier scenes - a secret garden rendezvous and intimate moments in the rain - the small gestures make the budding romance between Anthony and Kate that much more thrilling. Perhaps it is because of the charming personalities of the two characters, but one can not help but fall victim to this relatively common trope.

With a few questionable scenes and typical clichés, the first season of Bridgerton was lackluster at best, but the subsequent season has proved to be something else entirely. As is the case with all fake relationship tropes, the two fell in love and, after much scandal, were happily married.
