Dearest gentle reader, the fourth and latest season of Bridgerton is finally back on our screens once again. The first instalment of the season is currently upon us, spanning four episodes until the second part arrives later on the 26th of February. And with that, we are ushered back into the gilded ballrooms that host the ton’s quietest affairs. Nearly two years after encountering the familiar-to-fated courtship that is Penelope and Colin’s love story, the long-awaited fourth season passes the torch over to Benedict Bridgerton, the family’s second eldest and this season’s leading lady, Sophie Baek, a noblewoman turned ladies’ maid. Their romance takes on a Cinderella story of sorts, embodying the fairytale’s classic allure—swirled in with a scorching slow-burn and poetic confessions as per the classic Bridgerton agenda.
With profound yearning and angst undoubtedly on the radar, it’s high time we turn our attention to the ever-so captivating beauty moments on display. The show’s make-up designer, Nic Collins, opted for radiant complexions galore. For instance, Francesa Bridgerton—or might we say, Lady Kilmartin’s—pink-led palette taking centre stage across her visage. And in the realm of Bridgerton beauty, Penelope’s bolder-leaning looks have definitely been ones for the books. Then comes a welcome first: Sophie Baek’s pared-back moments that emphasise skin-first beauty, marking a stark contrast to the season’s more ornate debutantes.
And without further ado, indulge in Vogue Singapore’s curation of the most exquisite Bridgerton beauty moments from this season.

Lady in silver
Oh, the wonder that is Sophie Baek. In an effortless complement to her gown, a delicate metallic sheen in matching silver gleams across her lids. A berry-tinted pout makes for an enchanting accompaniment.

The art of the fringe
The wispy bang movement is here to stay—courtesy of none other than Eloise Bridgerton herself. A glowing complexion and ever-so-slightly rouged cheeks make for a splendid Regency-core look.

A rosy display
Posy Li, Araminta Gun’s youngest, dons a rosy silhouette that perfectly matches her gown and jewel accompaniments. An effervescant braided updo adorned with pastel blooms gracefully completes the moment.

In full bloom
Basking in that post-pregnancy glow, Penelope Bridgerton flaunts her signature chestnut curls. The former wallflower steps fully into her own as Lady Whistledown unmasked, embracing warm sun-kissed flushes across her midface and lips.
