Nicola Coughlan dazzled on the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet.

After making waves with her bold and original fashion choices during the Bridgerton season 3 press tour over the summer, the actress, 37, brought that same level of glam to TV’s biggest night on Sunday, Sept. 15.

The star stood out in a futuristic, structured silver off-the-shoulder gown that had a structured corset construction with bubble-shape peplum over a long skirt. She accessorized her look with a red Artists4Ceasefire pin.

Coughlan’s glam was more understated, with a simple center-part half-updo and rosy eyeshadow and blush. Delicate De Beers jewelry finished off the look.

While Bridgerton season 3 won’t be eligible for any Emmy nominations until the 2025 ceremony, Coughlan is set to present an award at this evening’s ceremony.

At Bridgerton‘s London premiere in April, Coughlan looked striking in a 22-karat golden corset that paid homage to her character Penelope Featherington’s season 3 love story with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). The item featured an anatomical heart design as a tribute to her character’s romantic journey. It was just one of many unforgettable press tour looks played a key role in keeping Bridgerton fans talking about the fashionable star all summer long.

The Derry Girls alum is coming off a big year professionally — in addition to playing the lead in one of the hottest show’s of the summer, the actress was also praised for her performance in the critically-acclaimed British comedy Big Mood and starred in a campaign for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS.
While Coughlan wowed in an assortment of looks, she was equally proud of what she didn’t wear onscreen. In a May interview with Stylist, she revealed that she “specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included” in the season — including an intimate nude scene.

“There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘f— you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering,” she said. “I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f—ing hot I looked!’ “

She added that she felt “great” about the season’s nude scenes “because not only did I consent to it but I drove it.”
