In the hit Netflix series, the Irish actress plays Lady Penelope, a character who doesn't exactly follow trends.

The 35-year-old shared a photo of herself fully reclined in a hair and makeup trailer on set, snuggled up in a dressing gown while reclining on a pillow with an eye mask on as the MUA busily worked her magic. "Ultimately yes I am a morning person", the actress quipped in the caption.
Nicola's Bridgerton costar Pheobe Dynevor was quick to like the Instagram post and one fan wrote: "I ADORE this!!" and another chimed in with: "actually just LOLED!"
