Characterized by corsets, opera gloves, embroidery and OTT headwear, Regency-era fashion saw a spike in popularity after the Netflix period drama premiered in 2020. High street and designer styles flew into everyone’s shopping baskets and Daphne Bridgerton herself, Phoebe Dynevor, scored a campaign with Self-Portrait promoting similar styles.
Now that season two is nearly here, we’re seeing Bridgerton-inspired collections like Malone Souliers’ collab with Netflix and Shondaland – featuring lace-embroidered mules and feathery pumps – while #regencycore pushes over 20 million views on TikTok.
Celebs are hopping on the extravagance, too. From Maya Jama to Euphoria‘s Barbie Ferreira to Squid Game‘s HoYeon Jung, our faves are proving it’s still cool to dress like a Victorian goddess.
Keep reading for major Regency vibes from the ‘gram, just in time for your viewing party this weekend.
Corsets
Corsets haven’t gone anywhere between Bridgerton seasons. A corseted dress like Maya Jama’s gives big rich auntie vibes, in the best way.
Opera Gloves
Another Euphoria star, Chloe Cherry, made a case for long, extravagant gloves while at London Fashion Week last month.
Sequins and Embroidery
HoYeon Jung’s beaded gown was a sight for sore eyes at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards and is reminiscent of Lady Bridgerton’s most elaborate ballgowns.
Suiting
Try a three (or four!) piece suit when you want to lean into lord and viscount territory. Normal People‘s Daisy Edgar-Jones makes a regal statement with a pussy bow tie and lace shirt.
Empire Waists
Regencycore couldn’t exist without the empire waistline and Selena Gomez is here to prove that it’s just as transferable to 2022 as it was to 1812.
