Nicola Coughlan, who plays Bridgerton on Netflix, shot back at rumors that she was digitally altered to be slimmer. "There were some trolls that I witnessed. "They said, 'They photo-shopped your waist,'" she said in a June 13 interview with People, "and I said, 'No, they didn't.'"
So what is the actual state of affairs? It turns out that Nicola's waist appears more restricted than Penelope Featherington's because of her showy, Regency-style attire.So what is the actual state of affairs?

"Your body really molds to it if you wear corsetry for a long enough period of time," the 37-year-old said.
She even mentioned that her skill at wearing girdles occasionally surprises stylists.
"Sometimes they come in a fitting for a fashion designer, and they put a corset on me, and I'm like, ‘Oh, you can go tight,'" "And they go, 'What do you mean?'" revealed Nicola.
The former member of Derry Girls is also much at ease with her own skin. To be exact, she decided to undress for her sultry sex scene with co-star Luke Newton.
"It was my idea to be very naked on camera in one particular scene," she said to Stylist earlier this month. It was so empowering and felt like the biggest 'f--k you' to all the conversations surrounding my body. 'When I'm 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f--king hot I looked!' I thought to myself, feeling wonderful in that moment.
When someone recently complimented her "very brave" naked scene during a Bridgerton season three screening in Dublin, she had the ideal response.
In a video that went viral on social media, she humorously addressed the audience, saying, "You know, I think it is hard because I think women with my body type—women with perfect breasts—don't get to see ourselves on screen enough." "I am a very proud member of the perfect breasts community, and I hope you enjoy seeing them."
