Irish actress Nicola Coughlan turned heads at the 2025 BAFTAs in London, bringing her signature mix of glamour and charm to the red carpet. Known for her bold style and flawless beauty looks, the Bridgerton and Derry Girls star once again impressed with a timeless ensemble and polished styling.
Coughlan wore a custom black-and-white gown from Richard Quinn’s autumn/winter 2025 collection. The dramatic, monochrome design captured the essence of Old Hollywood glamour while staying true to her modern fashion sensibility.
While her outfit made a strong statement, it was her hair and makeup that truly stole the show. Coughlan’s blonde hair was styled in a sleek high ponytail with a side fringe—a nostalgic touch that thrilled fans of early 2000s trends. The flipped ends of her ponytail added a playful twist to the sophisticated style.
For many, the side fringe is a welcome blast from the past. But achieving Coughlan’s polished look takes more than a quick hair toss. Her stylist recommends using the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener to replicate the style. The device uses predictive technology to adjust heat levels, ensuring the ideal temperature for each section of hair. This helps achieve smooth, shiny results without damage.
The red carpet moment was another win for Coughlan, whose attention to detail in both fashion and beauty continues to make her a standout at every event.
