Beloved actor Nicola Coughlan looked miles away from her Derry Girls and Bridgerton characters at her very first Met Gala.
Nicola, aka Penelope Featherington/Lady Whistledown herself, was seen arriving at 2022's Met Gala, that had a "Gilded Glamour" theme, in an impressive pink and black ballgown (complete with feathers) by designer Richard Quinn.
Her fans were taken aback with how amazing she looked, with one writing on Instagram, "Oh my GOD!!!!!! You look FABULOUS."
Another added, "You understand the assignment."
Despite the fancy frock and being surrounded by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Nicola kept it very real as she posted on her Instagram story at the after party. Sharing a video of the entertainment, she simply said, "Good at times like this to remember I used to work in a Spar."
Now though, she counts Kim Kardashian as her BESTIE, as she told Bustle that Kim slid into her DMs.
She told Bustle, I woke up one morning and had a DM from Kim Kardashian. I was like, ‘What is going on?’ So weird! We talked about Bridgerton."
