Bridgerton star Charithra Chandran says on the sacrifices the cast of her hit show make to create the most successful Netflix series of all time. ‘Sometimes that’s like 12 hours in the corset and dress.

Even when we’re eating we get given bibs to stop us from spilling anything on our outfits. ’The 25-year-old British actor found fame earlier this year after starring as Lady Edwina Sharma – the younger sister of Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) who becomes embroiled in a sticky love triangle with her and Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey).

Far away from the fine French tapestries and stately homes of Bridgerton's 1800s England, today Chandran is exclusively speaking to ELLE UK ahead of the Dior 2023 resort collection in Seville, Spain. ‘I’m initially very nervous,’ she says of attending star-studded events. ‘I think I suffer from a heavy dose of imposter syndrome, but as soon as the show begins and the first model walks out, all I feel is excitement and inspiration. ’ On Thursday night, the likes of Chandran, Chiara Ferragni, Celeste and Elle Macpherson descended on Seville's breathtaking Plaza de España, a government building built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition which has since featured in several films over the years such as Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia.

With the help of dramatic flamenco dancing and violins the show began with a simple monochrome look (black trousers, a white tank top, black braces, black brogues and a floral-printed fringed shawl), before a bloody red shade pierced through the sombre colour palette, accompanied by jewelled tones in lace, velvet and ruffles, and topped off with tilted flat-brimmed hats.
