12 Best Bridgerton Costumes for Halloween
1. Kate Sharma Halloween Costume
Evade love and marriage though she may try, the eldest Ms. Sharma, Kate, could hardly contain her feelings for her sister's favorite gentleman caller throughout season two. Still, refined though she is sporty, brave, and outspoken, you'd do well to dress up like the vexing Kate Sharma this forthcoming Halloween.
While Kate's Bridgerton style can be easily replicated with an embellished dress, satin gloves, and a few delicate pieces of jewelry, we'll award bonus points to anyone who adds her signature horse-riding cloak (not pictured above) and her infamous corgi, Newton.
