Kim Kardashian may have started watching Bridgerton a few months after the rest of us, but she’s probably the biggest fan of the show. Her watch a few weeks ago (topped with white wine and lots of live posts) went viral. It’s no surprise, then, that Nicola Couglan (aka Penelope Featherington) noticed and just poured some tea on Twitter, which made Kardashian very happy: The Featheringtonians were freely inspired by the Kardashians.
“As world leader @bridgerton Stan, does Kim Kardashian know that the Kardashians were a massive inspiration for the Featheringtons and we talked about them all the time during our productions? Because I feel like he should know that, “she wrote on Twitter, to which Kardashian replied,” WHAT?!?! I was scared !!!!!! This tweet was sent to my page @bridgerton group chat! Can I ask you to come for a montage?!?! It would make my whole life !!!!!! I love you Lady W !!! ”
Coughlan actually said it gLAMOR this in December before posting it on Twitter. “Penelope is Khloé from the old school,” she said. “Remember that Khloé used to say, ‘I’m the red-haired stepson and I have to do everything for everyone.’ I think this is Penelope. But then, you know, Khloé came back and flew up. ”
She continued: “Prudence and Philipa are terrible for her. And then Lady Portia Featherington is a real Kris Jenner – the last “momager”. She is very ambitious for her girls. ”
Bridgerton production designer Will Hughes-Jones said of the Featherington family and the dynamics of the Bridgerton family: “I say I’m Kennedy versus Kardashians. Featheringtones are new money, so there is an uglier, brighter element. While the Bridgertons are a bit older and therefore have the historical and polite qualities you would find in a design piece. Hughes-Jones says the Bridgerton color palette has pastel, soft, soft colors, while the Featheringtones are more acidic, with bright yellow, green and pink.
