Still obsessing over Bridgerton ?
Well, you’re probably over-the-moon that the show was just renewed for Season 2 on Netflix . But with so much time left until then, this leaves fans with one choice: rewatch the series.
When you do, you may find hidden details to the show, like these 10+ hidden details in the costumes.
1. The show’s costume designer
The costume designer behind the Bridgerton dresses is none other than famous costume designer and Emmy winner, Ellen Mirojnic .
With over 7,500 different costume pieces on the show, she must have had her work cut out for her!
2. Daphne’s color scheme
The show’s costume designer confirmed that Daphne is often seen wearing pink, silver, and blues represent the innocence and purity of the character.
As she matures, the colors deepen. “She begins as a porcelain doll and becomes a woman.”
3. The color scheme for each family
The show has modernized the clothes to have more color and vibrancy than in the early 1800s dresses.
Each family has a color scheme: the Bridgertons dress in shades of blue, white, and pink while the Featherington’s use orange, green and purple tones.
4. The meaning behind the Featherington’s color scheme
We all saw Portia try desperately to marry her daughters off.
One way she attracted her girls to eligible men was by having them wear bright colors , such as orange, green, and purple. Portia, on the other hand, wears prints.
5. Bees and butterflies
Both the Featheringtons and the Bridgertons have their own symbol littering their clothing and hair accessories.
Bees can be seen with the Bridgertons while butterflies are on the Featheringtons clothing. A bee is known to symbolize hard work while butterflies represent rebirth.
A bee can be seen on the collar of Benedict’s collar during the show.

Since Season 2 was just confirmed , some viewers thought that it was maybe foreshadowing to a second season.
You can also see it on the windowsill during Benedict’s final scene of the season.
6. Daphne’s hair
A closer look shows a bird’s feather in Daphne’s hair while dancing at one of the balls.
A feather in the hair was very common in the 19th century to signify youth. With birds gazing in the background, it can also symbolize a young female’s place in that society.

After she’s heartbroken from Anthony, she seeks comfort from the dressmaker Genevieve who offers to make her a gown out of Cessida’s leftover fabric.
“I should think it an odd choice of color for me. I am no innocent debutante,” Siena tells her.
8. No bonnets
If you’re wondering why you didn’t see any bonnets on the show, there’s a reason for that.
The show’s costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick, told Vogue that they “took that half-moon shape and created these straw pieces accented with flowers or feathers.”
9. Famous corsets
In case you don’t know who Mr. Pearl is, he’s one of the most famous corset makers on the planet.
So, of course, the show had to have him create the corsets for the show. He even custom-fit them to each actor.
The corsets were extremely uncomfortable for the actors.
“I don’t think comfort comes into the conversation,” Mirojnick told Harper’s Bazaar .
“We try to make it as comfortable as possible, but it isn’t as comfortable as wearing a sports bra—no how, no way.”
10. Penelope in all yellow
Penelope wears yellow, despite the character’s distaste for the color.

However, yellow was an extremely popular color for the era, signifying true beauty and worth — two things that she possesses.
11. Daphne’s necklaces get bigger
This parallels her growth throughout the show.
Her earrings held significance as well, as the show’s fine jeweler Sheryl Jones told W magazine the meaning behind Daphne’s ruby earrings.
They’re the ones she wore before sealing the deal with the Duke.
“It could be a biblical reference, in which a woman’s value is supposed to be equal to a ruby, and very rare.”
The blue stones, on the other hand, signify her duty to tradition. “That color is classic, timeless, and never goes out of style,” Jones said.
12. The Duke’s brooch
When fans weren’t ogling him, they would have noticed that Simon constantly wore a green gemstone brooch.
According to the show’s fine jeweler Sheryl Jones, the verdant jewelry was used to represent his rebellious stance against the aristocracy.
13. Penelope’s hair
It took actress Nicola Coughlan two hours to get into her wig for the ball! The actress documented the process on her Instagram.
Based on how long it took, no wonder she didn’t want to join the pairing-up season!
14. The Bridgerton’s jewelry
To match the pristine, regency, and high level in society, costumer designer Mirojnick used Dior, Givenchy, and elements of Chanel in the influence behind the Bridgertons jewelry.
She believed that “very clean” tones and old elegance matched the well-established family.
15. Marina’s necklace
There is a deeper meaning to her lover’s eye necklace.
It was a trend in the 18th and 19th centuries to wear a small painting of your lover’s eye. But since only an eye is shown, the identity of the lover is hidden.
16. Daphne’s white and gold necklace
That thing was no joke, as each diamond was 10 carat and estimated to be worth $6.1 million.
In real life, the gold pear-shaped diamond necklace would retail for at least $1 million.
