Hollywood, in all its glitzy splendor, has a remarkable way of leaving even the most seasoned stars breathless, not to mention the star-struck masses who cling to every flashbulb moment. Nicola Coughlan, who won over hearts in Bridgerton and charmed even more off-script, took to the 2024 Emmy red carpet with her usual grace for the first time in her career and put her name in the Hollywood lottery. But this night offered her more than just a few flattering snaps for the paparazzi to devour.

Coughlan, who herself seems to have become the stage itself with masses surrounding her left, right, and center, relayed her first experience at the Emmy Award show red carpet, and it included being serenaded by Jennifer Aniston.

From the overwhelming amount of titles released on streamers, only a few manage to hit the ball out of the park. However, Bridgerton managed to have the ball in the park itself. While the entire cast could not make it to the Emmy Awards, Nicola Coughlan and her silver gown made up for it. And as she talked to Access Hollywood about her experience, it seems she did not have much time to do any missing as she found herself star-struck by Jennifer Aniston. "She's Rachel," the actress gushed as she talked about how surreal it was to find herself standing in front of Jennifer Aniston.

Trading the nervous jitters she felt as she attended the awards without the full house that is the Bridgerton cast for a mesmerizing moment, Nicola Coughlan found Hollywood's peak at the Emmy Awards 2024 when she found that Jennifer Aniston standing next to her on the red carpet. The actress revealed how she is rarely ever that amazed by any celebrity, but Jennifer Aniston is a whole different case.

Despite having seen Aniston on the red carpet, Nicola Coughlan could not experience the trademark Hollywood award night, as the Emmy Awards 2024 lacked a huge element for her.

Despite the entourage of standout moments at Emmy Awards 2024 from Selena Gomez's wink at Taylor Swift to the iconic Will Smith joke, the absence of the regal Bridgerton cast could be felt. And while Nicola Coughlan and Jonathan Bailey did serve face, fans would have loved to witness the entire cast on the carpet. However, it would not have been possible for the entire cast to attend the Emmys this year as the show must air at least six episodes by May 31, 2024, in order to be nominated.

Bridgerton season 3 released the first episode on May 16, gave fans a moment to question their existence and released the other four episodes on June 13. Therefore, it lost its nomination at the Emmy Awards 2024. While it is unclear if season 3 will get a chance in 2025, fortunately, Nicola Coughlan does not have any regrets.
