Nicola Coughlan Endorses the Spring 2026 White Denim Trend

I see a lot of myself in Nicola Coughlan, and not just because we’re both short fashion girls—though, I imagine she likely struggles in the denim shopping department, too. That’s why, whenever I see the Bridgerton star wearing jeans that fit her perfectly, I take notes.

On April 13, Coughlan was photographed at London’s BBC Radio studio wearing an Amy Powney x Monica Vinader white button-down, plus an oversize black blazer and creamy trouser-fit jeans, both from AKYN.
