The Netflix series Bridgerton has won hearts for its reimagined Regency-era mixed with the more progressive ideologies of present-day society through the way it included different ethnicities, genders, and more. As the audience, it’s a pleasure to look at the opulent fashion and glamour of this world with rich silk and satin gowns and bold hairdos. The cast of the latest Bridgerton season 3 is such a treat to watch that it is only natural to wonder what eyewear they would pick if the show were set in the present.
After all, eyewear is not just for practical use; it’s a fashion choice that can say a lot about a person’s style and personality.

So, gentle readers, let’s check out the glasses or sunnies a Bridgerton would wear in the modern day!

1. Daphne Bridgerton

Mrs Daphne Bridgerton/ Hastings, the diamond of her season, is known for her elegance. As the most amiable girl in town, she turns the heads of the suitors wherever she goes. Daphne is right on fashion and what she wears is the epitome of the trend. If Daphne lived in the modern day, our On-GOAT Unisex Sunglasses in transparent white or blue colors would complement her persona well.

2. Anthony Bridgerton

The chocolate boy, a.k.a the Viscount, Anthony is the main man of the Bridgerton family. He cares deeply about his family members and their well-being (sometimes a little too much!). Now with Kate by his side, Anthony is the happiest and the most confident person. As a part of modern-day life, Anthony would surely enjoy wearing small round-shaped sunglasses like our Spill The T - Small Retro Unisex Sunglasses, these add a bit of sharpness and gleam to his style.

3. Kate Sharma Bridgerton

Mrs Kate Sharma, now the Viscountess Bridgerton, won the hearts of everyone the moment she stepped her first foot in the 2nd season. Kate is a strong and enduringly empathetic woman. No different from Anthony, in the Bridgerton season 2, she too cares for her family, so much so that she puts her sister’s good above hers. Now with her sister married well, Kate is spending her happily ever after as the leading woman of the Bridgerton house. Her style is inspired by her rich Indian heritage and features intricate designs in bold colours. In the modern day, Kate would surely love to wear eyewear that compliments her assertive style, and Angta’s Boss Baby - Eyeglass Frame in a cat-eye shape with gold accents perfectly fits that bill. 

4. Penelope Featherington

The Bridgerton latest season 3 was focused on Penelope Featherington, her journey as the Lady Whistledown and her romance with Colin Bridgerton. Pen really comes out of her and blossoms from the once ‘wallflower’ to an independent self-made woman. Her loud Featherington outfits merge with the subtlety of Bridgerton outfits through her union with Colin. Her modern-day Bridgerton-Inspired Glasses are sure to give a little rizz at the same time- support her career as a writer. The Rizz FR - Eyeglass Frame in the soft orange shade is made for a career-driven woman like her. 

5. Colin Bridgerton

Luke Newton was a big-time heartthrob in season 3 as Colin Bridgerton, he returned to the town from his European travel with a passion for journaling and a confidence that wooed every lady around him. A 2024 Colin would go nowhere without his sunglasses, and one pair that he would surely keep by his side are the No Cap - Olive Green Sunglasses. 

6.  Eloise Bridgerton

Miss Eloise Bridgerton is unlike any of her sisters, she is less interested in being married and more in enriching her mind through reading. She wants to make a place for herself in the world and is not afraid to like things that people around her don’t understand. A modern-day Eloise would be engrossed in novels by Haruki Murakami just as much as all the K-drama series she would binge. Needless to say, the K-Aesthetic eyeglasses would be her top choice, they are protective for excessive reading + screen time and complement the Bridgerton blue!

7. Benedict Bridgerton

Benedict Bridgerton is hands down the most easy-going, laid-back of all the Bridgertons. He enjoys his time wandering about at dinner, balls and breakfast luncheons. He makes people around him happy with his wit. Arguably the coolest one in the cast of Bridgerton! A modern-day Benedict is likely to choose the Clapback Paxton sunglasses, which are round-shaped blue-tinted glasses –perfect balance for his chill and stylish personality.  

8. Francesca Bridgerton

It’s apparent that Francesca Bridgerton is introverted and likes to spend her time playing the piano. All she wants is to get peace among her otherwise outgoing family, a peace that she finds in Lord Kilmartin. In the modern-day scenario, Francesca would pick eyeglasses like the transparent Camp Simps to bring less attention to her shy self in case she finds herself in the middle of a social event.  

9. Queen Charlotte

The list is incomplete without speaking of the Monarch, Queen Charlotte. She has a rich and powerful demeanour. Her modern fashion would speak of her larger-than-life and glamorous choices. Searching for the ‘diamond’ of the season, the Yass Queen sunglasses would surely catch modern-day Queen Charlotte’s eye.   
So there you have it, our take on what eyewear a modern-day Bridgerton character would choose! Whether you like Daphne, Anthony or Benedict’s style, imagining a Bridgerton in sunglasses adds a delightful modern twist to the historical series.
