Here's The Important Meaning Behind Nicola Coughlan's Latest Red Carpet Look
Nicola Coughlan's latest red carpet look is a nod to her activist work. The Bridgerton and Derry Girls star recently attended the Canneseries Festival — a TV festival in France — where she was given the Konbini Commitment Award. It's an award given "to talent who have distinguished themselves by the artistic quality and societal, innovative and/or revolutionary dimension of their work." For the occasion, she wore a custom Robert Wun couture dress fittingly called"The Peace Lily Gown." As the name implies, the flower typically symbolizes"peace, tranquility, and purity." In her acceptance speech, she said, "In Northern Ireland, after decades of violence, peace was achieved with the vital involvement of the United States. Today, as we witness the relentless destruction of Gaza, I can't help but believe that if those in power step in and all of us with a moral conscience speak up, there could be peace there, too. Those children living in fear deserve a future, and we should not sit by in silence." Nicola has made sartorial nods to Palestine before, having worn her Artists4Ceasefire pin to most press events in recent months. She recently said of her support of Palestine, 'There is a factor of 'it's better if you say nothing' because our job is to entertain are talking about right or wrong, about children being bombed in their beds. I wouldn't accept that anywhere in the world.'
