In the glittering world of real-life high society, Hannah Dodd is a name that commands as much attention as her Netflix alter-ego Francesca Bridgerton.
Hannah is well-established on the fashion scene, having clocked up a string of red carpet appearances - with plenty of stellar style moments. Her repertoire ranges from classic elegance to red carpet-ready latex and ethereal goddess-like attire.
Who is Hannah Dodd?
Hannah is not just a fashion muse; she’s a multi-talented artist. An accomplished actor, model, and trained dancer, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Dance from the prestigious London Studio Centre. Her journey into the limelight began with the Hulu teen series Find Me in Paris (2018-2020), where she captivated audiences with her charm and talent. Since then, she has continued to shine, with notable roles in Enola Holmes 2 (2022) and portraying a younger version of Sienna Miller’s character in Anatomy of a Scandal. Hannah was signed by Select Model Management at 16 and has appeared in campaigns for Topshop, Boden, and Monsoon Accessorize. At 19, she modelled alongside Romeo Beckham for the Burberry From London With Love advertisement in 2014.
Who replaced Francesca Bridgerton?
In Bridgerton Season 3, Hannah Dodd replaced Ruby Stokes as Francesca - the sixth Bridgerton descendent. But, unlike her more outgoing sisters, Francesca is the introverted sibling who is making her grand debut in society.
Her story centres around her relationship with and (spoiler) marriage to John Stirling, who shares her desire to live a peaceful, low-key life outside of bustling London.

With her undeniable talent and impeccable style, Hannah Dodd is a rising star to watch, seamlessly blending grace, sophistication, and a touch of audacity both on and off the screen.
A long-standing friend of the Bulgari brand, Hannah wore two striking looks to attend two events held by the Italian luxury house. In 2022, she chose a lime green silk gown by Carolina Herrera for a garden party in Westminster Abbey. A celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and an unveiling of the Bulgari Jubilee Emerald Garden high jewellery set.
