Hannah has been a busy lady this week! On Thursday, she attended the Miu Miu Women’s Tales #29 Screening in London and yesterday, on Saturday, she attended the Charles Finch & Chanel Annual Pre-BAFTA Dinner. You can check pictures from both events in our gallery:
Hannah had the amazing opportunity to visit Chanel’s couture atelier and headquarters in Paris this week and talked with Harper’s Bazaar UK about the experience as well about fashion. Check it out:
This week sees fashion’s finest descend on Paris for the spring/summer 2025 couture shows, and it is a particularly special season for Chanel which is celebrating 110 years of its haute couture atelier. The house – which paid tribute to Gabrielle Chanel’s use of colour in the collection – filled the front row with fashion darlings, including Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa and Lily Rose-Depp, as well as newcomer Hannah Dodd, who was excited to be attending her very first Chanel show.
The Bridgerton star – who looked sensational in a white leather co-ord on the front row, styled by Felicity Kay – had an opportunity that so many of us could only dream of, to step inside the couture atelier the day before the show to see the team putting the final touches on the spectacular collection.
“I feel so grateful to be here,” she tells me over the phone ahead of the show. “I just saw some of the pieces in the final stages in the workshop, so I am really excited to see them coming down the catwalk tomorrow. I just feel honoured to have had the chance to do that. It’s amazing to think that after 110 years, they are still delivering these incredible pieces of art – and that they have the dedication to craftsmanship all this time later is just insane. I feel very privileged to get to watch it and experience it.”
Although the actress is no stranger to the red carpet, the past few months have been somewhat of a whirlwind. Starring in Bridgerton not only raised her profile significantly, but gave her the opportunity to dip her toe into fashion in a way she had not before.
Hello everyone! I’m sorry for the lack of updates, life has been a little busy, but I’m back!

Our gallery has been updated with photos of the event, as well some candids of her in Paris. Check them out:
Hello everyone! I’m so sorry for the lack of updates, I was travelling to England last month and we had an issue with wordpress I’ve updated our gallery with the missing events Hannah had attended during last month, such as The Cartier Queen’s Cup Polo, the brand trip with Zimmermann and Wimbledon.

Hannah Dodd is on the cover of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia! In the new interview, the actress talks about Bridgerton, fashion, dancing, life, and more. You can check it bellow and the photoshoot in our gallery:
IT WAS not long into the filming of the latest series of Bridgerton when the new girl on set became distressed. Preparing for the scene in which her debutante character is presented to the queen, Hannah Dodd felt weeks of anxiety boil over. Could she do this? Could she go on?
This was July 2022. Just two months earlier, landing a role on Shondaland’s zeitgeist Netflix series had seemed like the gift of a lifetime to the unassuming English actor. The first two seasons of the lavish, history-bending Regency-era romantic drama had garnered huge audiences and turned its leads into stars. On learning she would be taking over the part of Francesca Bridgerton, Dodd had gone straight to work, perusing the Julia Quinn novels on which the series is based and learning piano, one of Francesca’s more conspicuous skills.
By the time filming started, however, the insidious process that converts excitement into crippling self-doubt had done its thing. And on this day — when her alter ego was to be paraded before Queen Charlotte, judged and appraised less as a sensitive young woman than an object — the newcomer unravelled. “I’d been so nervous for so long, and I think I’d hit the point where I couldn’t actually sustain feeling like that,” Dodd says.
Fortunately, the Bridgerton cast and crew are, by all accounts, a supportive bunch, and Dodd’s turmoil did not go unnoticed. Picking her moment, one of the producers approached her and suggested they take a stroll.
“She said to me, ‘To us, this is still the tiny little show we were making back in 2019, and it’s the same people’,” Dodd recalls.
Hannah Dodd is on the cover of the Summer edition of Who What Wear UK, where she talks about her hole as Francesca Bridgerton, her family and more! Check bellow the complete interview and the photoshoot in our gallery:
A person only needs to spend a few minutes with Hannah Dodd to know that she takes her work and craft very seriously. In my 13 years as a journalist, I have met and profiled many celebrities and creatives, and in many instances, the talent is on time and ready to get going. It’s either that, or they’re running seriously late. However, I can say with absolute certainty that no one I’ve interviewed has ever been early—no one except for Hannah Dodd.
We meet, as often happens these days, via Zoom, with our call scheduled for 10 a.m. As part of my pre-interview ritual, I log on 15 minutes early to ensure the link works and my background looks professional, read my questions aloud and prime my recorder. It’s 9:49 a.m. when Dodd dials into the call. “Oh, hello,” she beams. “I didn’t think anyone would be on here yet—it’s great to meet you! I’m Hannah.” We exchange pleasantries until everyone else who needs to be on the call dials in (on time, I might add). In those extra few minutes together, I already get the impression that Dodd is grateful to be here—by which I don’t mean on a video call with me, though she does seem genuinely delighted with this, too. I mean here, at this moment in her life and career. She’ll later tell me she feels “lucky” and that “the stars aligned” to help her reach this place. Me? I have a sneaking suspicion that luck has nothing to do with it.
She’s dialling in from her home in London, the exposed red brickwork in the background going some way to confirm this. Behind her is a kitchen and a table upon which a Netflix gift bag and a bottle of Glossier’s You perfume sits. Dodd looks radiant—skin dewy, cheeks flushed and hair loose and naturally tousled. She wears a black T-shirt with a small scribe of white letters written across the chest, which I can’t quite make out. On the surface, she might seem like a very typical, freshly-turned 29-year-old—fun, bubbly, bright—but, let’s face it, she’s not your average 20-something. Dodd has become one of the most recognisable faces of 2024 since joining the cast of Netflix’s record-smashing regency series Bridgerton. Our meeting comes a few weeks before the third season debuts to a global audience, and you’ll probably be reading this on the day of (or very near to) the premiere of the season’s final four episodes. Now, weeks later, it’s interesting to reflect on our conversation. In doing so, I get the feeling that the reality of what was about to unfold for her hadn’t quite sunk in. Whilst it’s always tempting to skip to the end and read a final chapter, I find the most fulfilling stories unfurl when you’re invested from the beginning. That’s where I guide our conversation.
With only 10 days left until Bridgerton S3 Part 2 releases, Netflix has released a new official trailer where we can see tiny bits of Hannah as Francesca! Two new promotional stills of Francesca and John have also been released. You can check the stills and the trailer bellow:
