Netflix's highly anticipated series, Bridgerton, is set to premiere on December 25. Produced by Shondaland, it is the streaming platform's first venture with the production company. Bridgerton is based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn and is set in the Regency era. The show revolves around two influential families who are favored by Queen Charlotte. However, not everything is as it seems, and each character has secrets of their own. The story is further complicated by the presence of a Gossip Girl-type writer who exposes everyone's secrets in her anonymous column.

Costume designer Ellen Mirojnick, known for her work on shows like Still Star-Crossed and films like The Greatest Showman, spoke to Screen Rant about the unique aesthetic of Bridgerton and the challenges of creating the costumes for the show.

Mirojnick explained that the show required creating an entire costume house due to the scale of the production. She described the process of assembling a team and sourcing fabrics from around the world to bring the world of Bridgerton to life.

When it came to dressing the characters, Mirojnick drew from historical research but also had the freedom to create her own vision. She focused on the simplicity and elegance of the Regency period, particularly with the character of Daphne. While the show features characters from different social classes, Mirojnick aimed to create a cohesive visual aesthetic.

Mirojnick also discussed her partnership with Shondaland and her admiration for their aesthetic. She appreciated their specific vision and the trust they placed in her as a costume designer. She emphasized the collaborative nature of their relationship and their shared goal of creating visually stunning and engaging content.

Finally, Mirojnick highlighted the feminist themes in Bridgerton, particularly exemplified in the character of Eloise. She explained how Eloise's characterization influenced her wardrobe, incorporating masculine elements and a rebellious spirit. As the series progresses, Eloise's wardrobe evolves to reflect a more feminine but still strong and unconventional style.

Overall, Bridgerton promises to be a visually captivating and scandalous period drama with a unique twist. The series will be available for streaming on Netflix starting December 25.
