In March 2022, the second season of Bridgerton dropped on Netflix amidst a lot of hype. As season one was a massive hit, it came as no surprise that the second season was met with equal enthusiasm.

Season two is eight episodes from producer Shonda Rhimes and creator/showrunner Chris Van Susen, mostly following the plot of the second book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, The Viscount Who Loved Me. However, many more sub-plots were added to the show as well as center love story to have much more drama, angst and longing.

A New Costume Designer

By the time the second season was released, we all knew what to expect from the costume design. It’s a modern take on Recency aesthetics: fun, bright, and very colorful. The show never intended to be historically accurate; it’s depicting a fictionalized version of the Regency period (Britain from 1811 to 1820) and thus, it’s more fantastical, with its own unique, audacious style.

Sophie Canale, who was an assistant costume designer during the first season, took the helm as the lead of the costumes department for the second. For Canale, the foundation of costume design was already in place, meaning she could drive deeper into making the costumes express each character’s individuality.

This season we are introduced to the Sharma family. Much like the Bridergtons and the Featheringtons, the Sharmas have their own familial style and color palette that makes them unique in Mayfair.

Be warned: In discussing the costumes, Season 2 plot elements will be spoiled.

Costume Designer: Ellen Mirojnick

Despite the show being called Bridgerton, it starts with the Featheringtons. The Featheringtons are the neighbors of the Bridgertons and have a major presence throughout the show, especially since one them has a secret identity as the show’s gossipy writer/narrator, Lady Whistledown.

The gossip monger and impressive lady of business is really the unassuming youngest child of the Featheringtons Penelope, who might come off like “an insipid wallflower,” but she’s actually astute, observant, well-read, and witty. She is also hopeless in love with Colin Bridgerton and best friends with Eloise Bridgerton at the start of season one.
