From the gossipy world of "Bridgerton" to real-life red carpets, Nicola Coughlan is known for her impeccable taste. But who, you ask, are the lucky celebrities who make her heart flutter? In a recent interview, the charming actress confessed to not one, not two, but three major celebrity crushes, and let's just say, her taste is impeccable.
Nicola, never one to shy away from a good gush-fest, didn't hold back when asked about her celebrity crushes.
"I just think she is the prettiest, prettiest lady," Nicola gushed, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
And who could argue? Taylor, with her captivating on-screen presence and effortlessly cool style, has become a true fashion and film icon.
Next on Nicola’s list? The multi-talented force that is Zendaya.
“Of course, Zendaya, how could I not mention Zendaya?” Nicola exclaimed, echoing the sentiments of, well, pretty much everyone.
Zendaya's talent, beauty, and grace have captivated the world, and it seems our favorite “Bridgerton” star is just as smitten as the rest of us.
But the ultimate object of Nicola’s affection? None other than the queen herself, Rihanna.
“I just love Rihanna so much,” Nicola confessed, her voice filled with a mix of awe and longing. “Like, whatever.”
This relatable declaration, imbued with the fervent passion only a true fangirl can muster, is a testament to Rihanna’s enduring influence. She’s not just a singer, a fashion icon, a beauty mogul – she’s a mood.
While Nicola has yet to meet her idol Rihanna (a travesty, we know!), she did have a memorable encounter with Zendaya that left her starstruck.
"I met LaKeith Stanfield at a fashion show, and he was like, 'Zee’s right over there!'" Nicola recalled, her voice filled with excitement. "And I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ But I didn't want to bother her, so I just admired her from afar."
This relatable blend of fangirl excitement and respectful distance is classic Nicola – always gracious, always down-to-earth, even in the presence of her idols.
But the question remains: what would Nicola say if she ever met Rihanna face-to-face?
"I don't know," she admitted, her voice tinged with nervous laughter. "What if she didn't like me? That would haunt me forever!"
Don’t worry, Nicola, we’ve all been there! The fear of meeting your idol only to have them fall short of expectations (or worse, be utterly indifferent) is a universal experience.
Nicola Coughlan’s relatable fangirl moments remind us that beneath the glamorous gowns and red carpet appearances, she’s just like us – a self-proclaimed “massive fan” of talented, inspiring, and undeniably cool women. And let's be honest, who wouldn’t want to be best friends with Nicola, gossiping about boys (or girls) and geeking out over our favorite celebrities?
