Nicola Coughlan took the leather dress trend and gave it a sassy little spin. The Bridgerton star came to the second season premiere of her series Big Mood without any pants on. No, really:

And honestly? That kind of works for us. It’s technically a jacket, but she’s tiny enough to wear it as a dress and have it work for her. Sure, it’s a little bulky and the sleeves look too much like outerwear to fool anyone into thinking this was actually a dress, but we really don’t have any objections here. It’s cute, it suits her, and it’s styled well. Personally, we might have suggested boots, but we can understand going for a more delicate shape in order to counter the volume up top. Her makeup looks a little harsh, though. And we’d have suggested a big blowout up top.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
Written and created by Camilla Whitehill, BIG MOOD is a vivacious and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness. The six-part series will be available to watch and stream on Channel 4 from Thursday 28th March.

Best friends Maggie and Eddie played by Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Lydia West (It’s A Sin, Inside Man) have lived in each other’s pockets for ten years, through thick, thin, and multiple challenging eyebrow trends. But with the rest of their lives looming, careers hanging in the balance, and Maggie’s bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return to form, Eddie begins to question whether this friendship is really in their best interests. It’s a pivotal point in both their lives, bringing to the surface those all-important questions – could sleeping with your former History teacher be the key to happiness? Is a basement Rat Hotel a functional alternative to pest control? With their twenties behind them, Maggie and Eddie’s relationship faces the future – can it survive?

It was directed by Rebecca Asher (Dead to Me, Brooklyn Nine Nine), executive produced by Lotte Beasley Mestriner (The Young Offenders) and produced by Georgie Fallon (The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies).
