When ‘Bridgerton‘ debuted on Netflix in December 2020, it quickly gained popularity owing to its unique themes, which are based on Regency-era London with a dash of contemporary ideas. Characters like Daphne Bridgerton, Simon Basset, Penelope Featherington, Violet Bridgerton, and Anthony Bridgerton are some of the amusing ones featured in the series.
‘Bridgerton‘ boasts of not only a bold storyline and characters but costumes and color palettes as well. Perhaps, the most eye-catching of all among the stunning ballgowns is the variety of yellow dresses Penelope Featherington wears. There’s certainly a reason for that choice. Spoiler alert!

The Reason Behind Penelope’s Yellow Outfits In ‘Bridgerton’
Dear gentle readers hold on to your period-drama mood because, in the words of Lady Whistledown, I quote, “Be it shame or slander, seduction or smear, there is but one thing that humbles even the most highly regarded members of our dear ton…. a scandal!” Well, that’s the little scandalous secret of Penelope’s life – she is the actual Lady Whistledown. But we are here for her bright yellow outfits.
Penelope Featherington was a fan-favorite character who made a big impression in ‘Bridgerton‘. She detested the vivid yellow gowns she used to wear. But later it was revealed by her designer Ellen Mirojnick that the color stood for her devious nature – her secret identity as was Whistledown, after all. Women of high society wore this color, which was closely associated with the Regency period.
She clearly lived a secret life as the seasons progressed, and eventually, it was revealed that she was the enigmatic gossip columnist Lady Whistledown.
