Bridgerton’s Golda Rosheuvel shares secrets behind her iconic swan wig

Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte, played by the remarkable Golda Rosheuvel, has been turning heads with her stunning portrayal of the Regency-era queen.

However, it's not just her captivating performance that has fans talking.


As per People magazine, during a recent appearance at an event, she shed light on the extraordinary creation of her buzz-worthy season three swan wig.

When asked about her favourite looks from the Netflix hit series, Rosheuvel couldn't help but emphasize the sheer brilliance behind the iconic swan wig.

She described it as a "genius moment of beautiful crafting, storytelling," attributing the credit to one of the show's hairstylists, Erika Okvist, according to People magazine.

The larger-than-life hairpiece, featuring a motorized swan gracefully moving about Queen Charlotte's luscious locks, was a marvel that took two years to come to fruition.

Rosheuvel revealed that it involved multiple departments and meticulous attention to detail. "There's a battery pack that has to be made, there's wires that have to be connected," she explained.

Discussing Okvist's vision, Rosheuvel highlighted the evolution of the design over the two-year period, culminating in the awe-inspiring creation seen onscreen.

Despite its grandeur, the actress shared that the wig was surprisingly not as heavy as one might expect, thanks to Okvist's ingenious lightweight design.

Looking ahead, Rosheuvel teased the second half of season 3, hinting at triumphant and revealing moments that will empower the queen and other characters in the show.

She also emphasized how her role as Queen Charlotte serves as a bridge between the seasons, offering fans the "back stories" of their favourite characters.

Furthermore, the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, also offered a glimpse into the remaining episodes of the third season, carefully avoiding spoilers, according to People magazine.

She described it as "sexy and surprising in many ways," expressing that she found it very moving.

Rhimes assured fans that the upcoming episodes promise a beautiful story that will captivate and resonate with audiences.

Scarlett Johansson has finally addressed the jaw-dropping joke about her that aired during Saturday Night Live’s holiday episode in December. Her husband, Colin Jost, was made to deliver the punchline live on air, and Johansson, watching from backstage, was left stunned. In a recent interview with InStyle, she described the moment as “so gross” and admitted she couldn’t believe the show went that far.

The joke was part of the show’s annual “Weekend Update” tradition, where Jost and his co-host Michael Che write outrageous jokes for each other to read without any prior warning.

Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Stan Lee spent his life bringing superheroes to the world—Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and so many more. But behind the joyful cameos and conventions, his last years were marked by serious exploitation. A new documentary, Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, talks about the dark, uncomfortable truth about what really happened.

The film is being put together by Jon Bolerjack, who worked closely with Lee during his final four years. Bolerjack wasn’t just an assistant; he was a witness to what many believe was the mishandling and manipulation of an ageing legend. According to Bolerjack, Lee was constantly pushed to sign memorabilia and make public appearances, despite his poor health. In video clips already shared, Lee appears exhausted while being shuffled between events.
