Watch TheWrap’s full Q&A with Sophie Canale and Erika Ökvist at this link.After working closely with each other throughout “Bridgerton” Season 2, it was only fitting that costume designer Sophie Canale learned she was nominated for an Emmy from hair and makeup designer — and fellow nominee — Erika Ökvist.“I actually found out through Erika calling me, which was a lovely surprise,” Canale, who is up for the Outstanding Period Costumes award for Episode 207, “Harmony,” said during TheWrap’s screening series, featuring the “Bridgerton” team. “And it was just so nice for us to both to have that conversation together.”“Yeah, I was so happy,” Erika, who got a nom for  Outstanding Period And/Or Character Hairstyling for the Season 2 finale – “The Viscount Who Loved Me” added. “I was so happy because I was on set.

And Annie Laks [senior vice president of creative content] from Shondaland phoned me and was like, ‘Hey, I think – yeah, you are.

You’re nominated for an Emmy.’ I was in the crowd tent and I just screamed out, but I did it in Swedish and nobody understood what I said.

And then I kind of collected my thoughts and I looked it up. And I was like, ‘Oh, and Sophie as well!’ So I just phoned her like literally within seconds of finding out myself.”Canale and Ökvist were heads of their respective departments in Season 2, the first on the show for both of them (Canale was an assistant costume designer in Season 1, and Ökvist joined “Bridgerton” for Season 2).
