Nicola Coughlan Of ‘Bridgerton’ Praised For Gracefully Handling Rude Red Carpet Moment

“Bridgerton ” fans will not tolerate buffoons treating Lady Whistledown in such an undignified manner.

Nicola Coughlan’s first appearance on an Emmy Awards red carpet Sunday seemed to have gotten off to an awkward start, at least according to a video circulating on social media.

In the clip, the “Derry Girls” alum can be seen posing in a silver sequin gown for photographs on the red carpet as not one, not two, but four people cross in front of her, blocking several shots.

Despite the rude behavior, the Irish actor did seem to keep her composure — albeit she did make a facial expression that seemed to scream “cringe” the first time it happened and amusingly smirked every other time.

Fans of Coughlan were offended by the dismissive behavior and praised the actor for her grace.

Coughlan later spoke to “Access Hollywood” about making her Emmys’ red carpet debut and continued to keep things classy. Rather than trashing the garbage people who walked in front of her shots, she focused on how much fun she was having on her “first red carpet in Hollywood.”

“I just went to In-N-Out Burger and stuff,” Coughlan said of the famous California-based fast-food chain.
