Regencycore fashion trends have been on the rise since the first season of Netflix’s “Bridgeton,” which aired in December 2020, wowed viewers with its fanciful and lavish costumes.
The hit TV show recently returned with its second season, which again provided new Regency-era costumes that are influencing spring 2022 fashion trends. The costumes in “Bridgeton” were introduced in HBO’s new series “The Gilded Age”, which debuted in January and focused on “old money” versus “new money” in high society New York City in the late 1800s.
According to a report by fashion discovery platform Shop Style, both the TV shows have sparked interest in Regencycore fashion and apparel that became popular during the Regency era.
Most notably, the baby-doll dresses seen on the characters in “Bridgeton” proved to be one of the most influential on current fashion trends. The report shows that searches for “babydoll dress” increased by 48 percent, while “empire waist dress” increased by 36 percent, “puff sleeve dress” by 31 percent and “cotton poplin dress” by 29 percent. Additionally, the platform saw an 18 percent increase in searches for “corset.”

For accessories, ShopStyle saw a 67 percent increase in searches for “opera gloves,” a 37 percent increase in “headbands,” a 26 percent increase in “pearl earrings,” and a 20 percent increase in “ballet flats.” .
While “Bridgeton” and “The Gilded Age” take place in the Regency era, both shows take a different approach to costumes. “Bridgeton” leans into fanciful and fantasy costumes, with characters regularly wearing brightly colored clothing embellished with pearls, gems, and flowers. “The Gilded Age” and its “old money” characters dress lavishly but are not flashy with their embellishments and accessories.
Regencycore fashion has already popped up in several spring 2022 designer collections, including Markarian, Zimmermann, LoveshackFancy, Badgley Miska and others.
