Philipa and Prudence are tall and lean, with darker auburn hair. The daughters share their mother’s red hair, in different shades. Her taste in dress fabric tends toward busy floral patterns. Portia herself is a buxom middle-aged woman with vivid red tresses piled atop her head. He’s a middle aged man of short stature and can often be found at the margins, reading his paper and smoking his pipe as his wife plots and plans. The Baron Featherington is the head of the house, though mainly in name. Lady Portia Featherington favors somewhat gaudier colors her drawing-room is a deep chartreuse green, and her daughters are often dressed in saturated yellows, greens and pinks. The house of the Featheringtons (another white family), by contrast, has a stark white stone facade with a black front door, and carved decorations between the windows - not a plant to be found. Francesca, Hyacinth and Gregory carry their respective family resemblances, and generally spend their time causing mischief in the background. She has dark brown hair with bangs and light blue eyes, and is constantly consulting the small notebook she carries with her. Her sister Eloise is also quite thin, but moves with more jerky, flapping movements, as though uncomfortable in her array of fine dresses. She has an oval face, full lips, blue-green eyes and long, thick light-brown hair with short bangs that she sometimes wears down, but often brushes back or styles in two symmetrical curls when she’s headed to a ball. The next Bridgerton in line, our protagonist Daphne, is a very slender, slight young woman, who moves with graceful purpose. All three brothers have dark brown hair in different variations on a pompadour, and different lengths of sideburns, with Anthony having the longest - they point toward the corners of his mouth. Colin has a babyface, with rounder cheeks and cupids-bow lips that curl up at the corners. His brother Benedict has a somewhat softer demeanor, with similar tall-dark-and-handsome vibes, grey-blue eyes and an easier, more friendly smile. He moves forcefully and confidently as the eldest son, secure in who he is and what he wants. He has dark brown hair and eyes, with a rakish smile that reveals a pair of dimples in his cheeks. Eldest son and heir Anthony (pronounced Antony) is tall, lean, and handsome, similar to his brothers. Her thin lips get even thinner when she’s concerned, upset, or just at a loss for words. Mama Violet is a youthful-looking fifty-something, with brown hair, blue-green eyes, and refined features. The palette is light and breezy and cool - oodles of light blue, with white and pastel accents, and plenty of fresh flowers tastefully arranged. They spend much of their time in the airy drawing room, with multiple sofas and a pianoforte. The Bridgertons, a white family known for their good looks, consists of mother Violet and her eight children - named in alphabetical order. The inside of the Bridgertons’ house echoes the outside: full of light and life, thanks to the extensive Bridgerton brood. Climbing rosebushes festoon the iron gate outside, and a pair of small trees covered in white blossoms flank the door. On the first storey, a climbing vine covers the brick with weeping cones of lavender blooms, like wisteria. Green ivy grows along the edges of the facade. The Bridgerton’s abode is a two-story red-brick structure, with white trim around the windows and the front door painted forest-green. In Grosvenor Square, the perfectionistic Bridgertons and the ambitious Featheringtons live in large townhouses, across the street from each other. For a period piece, the cast is notable for having several actors of color, which adds to the texture of this bright and bubbly show. In this London, the weather is generally - perhaps a touch improbably - clear and sunny, highlighting the lush green grass and trees in the city parks, and the countryside beyond the city. Everyone is dressed to the nines, sparkling in empire-waist dresses, and frockcoats with tails. An introductory description for the Netflix series “Bridgerton.”īridgerton takes place in a fanciful recreation of Regency London and its surrounding environs - or, at least, the upper crust members of the city, also known as the ton.
