The third season of Netflix’s hit Regency Period show, Bridgerton, dropped on May 13, 2024. Based on Julia Quinn’s fourth book in the Bridgerton series, Romancing Minster Bridgerton, the season covers the love story between Colin and Penelope. Season three got a new show-runner, Jess Brownell, after the former show-runner, Chris Van Dusen, stepped down after season two.
Unlike previous seasons, the audience already knew these characters prior to the leading a season. So we already know who Penelope is, her home life, and her secrets.
However, there is still room for character growth and Penelope’s goal is to find a husband. She undergoes a make-over with a new wardrobe and hair styles. Gone of the citrus tones of the past and now she wears mainly blues and greens – mostly soft or muted tones.
This post is an overhaul of my article that was originally on hubpages which ranked Penelope’s season three costumes.
And since it’s the Bridgerton season as well as being a long while since Fleur-de-Lys got a proper Hypothetical casting post let’s analyze Phoebe Dynevor as a potential casting pick of Fleur-de-Lys.
Ranking the Costumes Masquerade Ball “Bridgerton” Season 4
At the end of season three there was mention of a Masquerade Ball. The mere mention of this particular ball was the ultimate clue that season four was going to be Benedict’s season as the Masquerade Ball is from his book.
The first big set piece of season 4 is Violet’s Bridgerton’s Masquerade Ball.
The idea behind of the costumes is that some characters tried harder than others which is why some characters are just wearing masks instead of an opulent fancy dress style costumes*.
This is a ranking of the costumes from The Masquerade Ball of the named character only who attended the ball. This based on my own subjective opinion and which characters made an effort. List subject to change.

Bridgerton is a massively popular Netflix show based/inspired by the romance series of the same name by Juila Quinn. Season one released Christmas Day 2020 and Season two came out March 2022. The series is known for its spicy romances, large diverse cast of complex characters and a modern take on Regency costumes.

The Duchess, Wife, and Mother
Season Two sees Daphne in her happily ever phase as she is married to Simon, the Duke of Hasting, though he does not appear in season two, and she is a mother to a baby boy named August (Auggie.) As she older and wiser, Daphne’s role in season two is offering romantic advice and being observant to her brother’s romantic entanglements.
Since it’s Valentine’s Day I thought let’s celebrate by ranking the love songs from one of my favorite shows ever: “Galavant.” Fun-Fact, I posted one these songs three years ago for Valentine’s Day, so we’re replaying the classics
If you haven’t seen Galavant yet just watch the first two seasons and if you don’t like you don’t have to watch anymore. Just give it two seasons
Galavant was a musical fantasy comedy show. The songs were written by Alan Menken. There are roughly 3 songs per episode and some of them fall into the realm of a love songs. So we are only looking at the romantic songs from show but there are still many more awesome songs in the shows. Really all the songs are pretty great. They strike the perfect blend between comedy and heartfelt earnestness.
Just go watch it….if you can.. if you can’t just watch the songs on YouTube or something
Spoilers for the whole show
I’m ranking these songs based on how Romantic they are as well as my own subjective opinion.

The foil to the refined Bridgertons are their London neighbors the Featheringtons. The Featheringtons are showy and garnish. They have “new money” vibe. They revel in bright colors with extreme amounts of embellishments and details like feathers.
The youngest of the Featheringtons is Penelope. In season two she’s in her second year on the marriage mart, secretly in love with Colin Bridgerton and is best friends with Eloise Bridgerton. However now that Eloise is out in society, she poises a difficulties to Penelope’s Lady Whistledown operation especially since Eloise is obsessed with unmasking the gossip-writer.
Feathington Family Fashions
All the families of Bridgerton have their unique sense of styles. The Bridgertons opts for pale pastel tones especially blues, the Sharmas, a new addition in season two, wear jewel tones while the Featherintons wears bright shocks of citrus colors.
This a repost of my own article originally on Hubpages
“The Hunchcast of Notre Dame” is the world’s first podcast about “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (“Notre-Dame de Paris”), available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!
Every other Tuesday, we’ll cover a different “Hunchback” adaptation, starting with an in-depth series about Victor Hugo’s novel. Expect historical insight, well-researched fun facts, and a new perspective on the story we all know and love.
But wait! Why did we decide to start a podcast about a nearly 200-year-old story? Why now? And why us, of all people?
We’re Patrick and Leslie, two “Hunchback” fans who were introduced to Victor Hugo’s classic story through Disney’s animated adaptation during adolescence. Like all kids in their early teens, we were struggling to find our tribe, and a story about a collection of outcasts resonated with us.
We watched as many “Hunchback” adaptations as we could, then hopped online and sought people who shared our interest. Our paths crossed, and we became friends: two kids living in different worlds who never would’ve met if not for a book penned two centuries prior.
Fast forward 12 years. As our love for each other has grown (we’re about to celebrate our fifth anniversary as romantic partners), so has our love for “Hunchback.” Patrick recently began soliciting representation for a manuscript about the cultural history of Hugo’s novel and its many adaptations, and Leslie recently flew 22 hours to Sydney, Australia to meet a fellow “Hunchback” fangirl.
One evening found us reminiscing about the early days of our friendship, spent hunched over secondhand laptops in our childhood bedrooms and chatting about Hugo’s novel over Kik and Instagram DM.
“There must be thousands of other Hunchback fans scattered across the world who feel alone in their love for this story,” we said. “How can we share our thoughts and expertise with them? How can we create a supportive, positive community where they can find their tribe, just like we found each other?”
Around the same time, we realized there was no podcast about “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
Bingo.
“The Hunchcast of Notre Dame” isn’t just another podcast. It’s a community where all “Hunchback” fans are welcome. Whether you’ve read Hugo’s novel a dozen times or you’re only familiar with one mainstream adaptation, your love for this story is valid, and we want to hear your thoughts on our conversations, which we hope make you laugh and learn.

After the success of season one in late 2020, “Bridgerton” Season Two dropped on Netflix in March 2022. Season two maintains the ensemble cast focusing on the love story of the eldest son.
Eloise Bridgerton: The Season’s Emerald
Season two starts with Eloise’s presentation to Queen Charlotte. This which means she’s out in society and hates every second of the ordeal. Eloise prefers reading and conversing in topic she finds engaging; topics she finds worthwhile. This prompts her to resume her quest for Whistledown to get the writer to write more than just gossip. This leads her to form an attachment with a printer and radical ideas.
