Bridgerton Season 3 Poster and Netflix Tie-in Cover of RMB

Hi everyone, I'm copying and sharing this message from our Discord server regarding the changes made to Nicola on the Season 3 Poster and Tie-In Cover of RMB.

Just because it happens doesn't necessarily mean that it should happen. Nicola is a beautiful woman and honestly basing this on my own opinion, the original photo is much better than the altered one and looks way more natural.

This goes so far beyond the Bridgerton fandom, so please don't just base this on fandom.

Please consider signing this petition if you feel the same...

I'm sure you’ve seen the book cover and poster art for Bridgerton S3 by now, as well as Nicola Coughlan’s post with the original version of the poster image.

In 2024, it’s really disappointing to see the female lead of a show be so heavily edited, whilst the male lead has been hardly touched. While we understand that marketing images will always have touch-ups, the amount that was done to Nicola is frankly sexist and insulting to her and her hair and makeup artistry team.

We know that the editors have overlaid their faces so that they’re both looking in different directions. However, when we compare the two photos, we can see that beyond basic retouching and flipping her face, the following edits to Nicola have been made:

The following edits have been made to Luke Newton:

All this on the cover of a book about finding self-acceptance.

If you would like Avon Books, Shondaland and Netflix to change the poster and book cover, please sign this petition here: https://chng.it/nDh4qnvkJn

We’d appreciate any shares we can get on socials tagging @avonbooks @shondaland and @netflix.

We know that the books will likely already have been printed, but we also know that they can be reprinted. There is time for the posters to be redone.

And if not, we're calling out bad marketing.
