When Netflix premiered its Regency-era romance series Bridgerton almost a year ago, it took the world by storm and became one of the most-streamed original shows on the platform. The connection between Daphne Bridgerton, played by Phoebe Dynevor, and Simon Basset, also known as the Duke of Hastings, played by Regé-Jean Page, was undeniable, and we suspect many couples will want to dress up as the pair this Halloween. Pretend like you’re in 1800s England with these Bridgerton DIY Halloween costumes.
Daphne
As the diamond of the first water, Daphne looked amazing during every scene throughout the first season. To recreate this high caliber of beauty, you’ll need a few items to pull off the costume. Empire waistlines were all the rage during the Regency era so getting a dress with one is essential. If it also has a square neckline, cap sleeves, and is blue, then you’re on the right track to represent Daphne. If you’re attending a party, or ball as they would say in the olden times, you’ll need opera gloves, a tiara, and some fabulous jewelry to sparkle all night long. We’ve picked out the best options for you to create your DIY costume below.

Simon
As a nobleman in the 19th century, and a Duke no less, Simon wore the very best clothing. But for a Halloween costume, you don’t want to spend too much on an outfit you’ll only wear one night. The essential items you’ll need are black riding boots, pants, a white billowy top, and a jacket. This last piece is where you can show your personality and style. Simon usually wore dark tones like black or red with unique embroidery, so this jacket chosen below emulates his aesthetic.
