A double dose of activism and glamour: "Bridgerton" actress Nicola Coughlan (38) turned heads at the 2025 Cannes International Series Festival (Canneseries) with her powerful statements - both in word and wardrobe. Bestowed with the Konbini Commitment Award at the event, Coughlan was honored for her tireless advocacy on several crucial social issues.
Her activism journey began with fiercely standing up for body positivity, extending to championing the rights to abortion in Ireland, the rights of refugees, and Palestinian children. During a pre-award ceremony discussion at the Palais des Festivals, she passionately defended transgender rights as well.
A Peace Lily Blooms on the Pink Carpet
Taking the award stage by storm, Coughlan opted for a breathtaking custom-made pale pink gown by Robert Wun Couture, reminiscent of a peace lily. The extravagant design of the gown, intentionally chosen for this appearance, represented hope and purity in several cultures.
Notably, the gown featured an asymmetrical neckline reaching over her head, creating a striking resemblance to the peace lily flower. Additionally, it boasted a structured waist resulting in an hourglass silhouette, along with a center slit outfitted with a matching wrap, forming dramatic trains [1][3].
