Halloween costumes for redheads: Penelope Featherington, ‘Bridgerton’
Dearest reader, it simply makes good sense for one to transform into 2024’s TV redhead of year for your Halloween costume. We’re talking about Penelope Featherington from Netflix’s Bridgerton, of course! Here’s how to recreate her signature style with ease, especially if you’re a redhead – or wish to be one for the night!
Penelope’s dress
Aside from forking out for a period-drama-worthy ballgown, there are creative, more affordable workarounds. Go with a flowy maxi dress in bright yellows, pinks, greens, or floral patterns.
Penelope’s flowing red hair
Fun fact: Penelope wears a total of SEVEN different ginger wigs in the whole of season 3 of Bridgerton. They were each made custom for Nicola Coughlin and her hairline, and cost between $8,000-$8,500 each!
When it comes to Penelope’s long red hair, it really makes a statement in season 3. Previously, she had kept her ginger locks tied up and away from her face, but we see a much looser, romantic side to her red hair more recently.
Our favourite of her looks is this mermaidesque one:
