Nicola Coughlan always looks beautiful at red carpet events

Irish actress Nicola Coughlan is one of our favourite celebrities to see on the red carpet. Not only is her style unique, but Coughlan's team always perfects her hair and make-up looks too.

The Derry Girls star never fails when it comes to a red carpet event, whether it's the Emmys or this weekend's BAFTAs in London.

Nicola looked as chic as ever in an Old Hollywood look at the prestigious awards. She wore a custom monochrome look from Richard Quinn’s autumn/winter 2025 collection.

However, it was the Bridgerton star's hair and makeup that completely won us over.

The actress wore her blonde hair in a high ponytail with a side fringe, which we're thrilled to see come back in style. The flick at the end of her ponytail elevates the look and makes the overall look even more charming.

Any millennial woman will be overjoyed to see a side fringe on a red carpet, but how did Coughlan's team perfect this look?

If we threw our hair up in a high pony, we'd likely resemble Miss Trunchbull, but Coughlan's hair stylist recommends using the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener.
