There has been a real dearth of red carpet glamour recently due to you know what, but some of the stars we love have gotten creative, by bringing their press tour and red carpet looks to Instagram. One of those stars is Bridgerton and Derry Girl actor Nicola Coughlan.

And it turns out Irish Coughlan (with her stylist Aimée Croysdill) not only has an amazing sense of style, but a love of sustainable brands too. Across her social media accounts, the 34-year-old has been sharing her epic ensembles, opting for dresses from established designers like Emilia Wickstead and Simone Rocha, as well as smaller, sustainably-minded brands like Cawley Studios and M.92.

Often pairing her looks with pearl earrings from Margaux Studios and heels from Miu Miu, Coughlan is truly a woman after our own hearts, and we can't wait to see what she wears next.

Here we take a look at Nicola Coughlan's best style moments so far:
