Five things you might have missed from the ‘Bridgerton’ season four premiere masquerade
Netflix likes to go big when it comes to its fan-favourite shows, and we’re not here to complain. If anything, we’re practically still swooning from the Bridgerton season four premiere masquerade, the recently held global live-streamed celebration, which transported all of us straight into the heart of Mayfair.
The celebration was streamed live on Tudum from Paris’s iconic Palais Brongniart, which showcased fans a preview of the Regency-era drama, romance, and royalty that awaits them, thanks to an exclusive extended first look at what’s to come in the fourth instalment.
But in addition to that, the season four premiere masquerade brought exciting revelations, from star-studded red-carpet moments to the virtual screening of the premiere episode of Bridgerton’s fourth season.
So, in case you couldn’t make it in real time, here’s a recap of the five most unforgettable moments from the season four premiere masquerade.
The five most memorable moments from Bridgerton’s premiere masquerade
Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha’s dreamy entry
Sparks were flying like never before when Bridgerton’s season four romantic leads, Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha, stepped onto the red carpet hand-in-hand, leaving fans practically screaming and swooning all the same. Ha walked the carpet in an elegant mint satin Prada gown, featuring crystal-detailed straps and a peekaboo cutout. Meanwhile, Thompson looked dashing in an all-black suit with a floral lapel accent.
During their interview, Ha enthusiastically revealed that she found her romantic inspiration for the fourth season in Emily Henry, the author of People We Meet on Vacation, as well as various other love stories.
Red carpet revelations
The red carpet interviews with the cast at the Bridgerton season four premiere masquerade were actually quite insightful in providing viewers with an idea of their characters and their influences.
Series newcomer Michelle Mao revealed that her character, Rosamund Li, takes inspiration from Marie Antoinette, a figure whose grandeur reflects Rosamund’s position in society. Mao’s season four costumes also mirror this inspiration as they feature a recreated necklace modelled after a real Marie Antoinette design.
Similarly, Hugh Sachs and Golda Rosheuvel shared details about their respective characters’ visual parlance. According to Sachs, Brimsley’s unfaltering devotion is emotive through a signature colour choice. “He’s always in purple,” Sachs said, pointing to his own purple tie on the red carpet. On the other hand, Rosheuvel pulled back the curtains on a telling statement about Queen Charlotte in season four’s opening masquerade. “She’s quite defiant – she refuses to wear a mask. She’s the queen.”
On other news, Thompson hinted at a blink-and-you-miss-it Easter egg, unveiling that a tiepin worn this season will bring something “full circle.” Lastly, Claudia Jessie finally opened up about Eloise’s evolving journey this season, confessing that her character continues to revolt against the rules imposed on her.
Episode titles for Bridgerton season four
The Brigerton premiere masquerade was not without its highlights. During the live event, all episode titles were unveiled, spanning both parts one and two of season four. The first part, premiering January 29th, comprises four episodes, titled ‘The Waltz,’ ‘Time Transfixed,’ ‘The Field Next to the Other Road,’ and ‘An Offer from a Gentleman.’ The second part, premiering February 26th, consists of four more episodes, titled ‘Yes or No,’ ‘The Passing Winter,’ ‘The Beyond,’ and ‘Dance in the Country.’
Every instrumental pop cover featured in the premiere episode
The premiere masquerade of Bridgerton also exposed the pop covers that soundtrack the first episode of season four, ‘The Waltz,’ which includes ‘Life in Technicolour’ (Coldplay) by Vitamin String Quartet, ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love’ (Usher ft Pitbull) by Strings from Paris, and ‘Never Let You Go’ (Third Eye Blind) by Vitamin String Quartet.
The Bridgerton: The Official Podcast trailer
The Bridgerton experience is getting bigger and better in season four, and fans already got a glimpse of that when the Bridgerton: The Official Podcast trailer debuted at the live event. The podcast is brought to you by Netflix and Shondaland, which features a six-episode deep dive into the “romances, scandals, and familial ties of Mayfair.”
Alison Hammond serves as the host, and each episode features a rotating guestlist of the season four stars and creative team. While the premiere masquerade also debuted the first full episode of season four, you might have to wait until the first part premieres on January 29th to witness that.
