Dearest gentle reader, it's that time of the year again as Bridgerton season 3 brings back the Ton on Netflix with the best glow-ups seen on television.

While the list naturally includes the main Bridgerton couple, Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, other returning side characters also deserve their time in the spotlight.

Without further ado, here are our top 7 ranked picks for the best glow-ups in Bridgerton season 3!

  1. Cressida Cowper

    Starting with Cressida Cowper, Bridgerton season 3 also happens to be her nearing spinster age on the marriage market. And yet she returns with grace and poise, with the help of her newfound friend, Eloise Bridgerton.

    The only thing that is pulling her back from unleashing her fullest potential is the shadow her parents have cast upon her.

  2. Francesca Bridgerton

    The most 'awkward' aspect about Francesca's glow-up is not about Queen Charlotte not choosing her as a diamond, but rather the change of actors for the more mature role.

    Previously played by Ruby Stokes in Bridgerton seasons 1-2, Hannah Dodd replaces her as the 'next' Daphne of the season in the third. However, her stance on the concept of marriage resonates closer with Eloise's.

    Apart from being unsure of what kind of man she dreams of marrying, she would much rather spend time playing the pianoforte in the comfort of her own room, her own home.

  3. Alice Mondrich

    From rags to riches, the Mondrichs continue to lift in society, with season 3 seeing the family's son next in line to become the baron.

    This puts Alice Mondrich in the spotlight, for once allowed to splurge and wear glamorous gowns while coming to the Ton's balls alongside her husband, Will Mondrich, a friend of the Duke of Hastings from season 1.

  4. Lady Kate Bridgerton

    As the new viscountess alongside Mr. Anthony Bridgerton, Lady Kate Bridgerton is about to embark on her new title past Bridgerton season 2.

    Despite only showing up for a few scenes this season 3, she never failed to steal the spotlight, as she remains close with Lady Violet Bridgerton, who's quite the busy bee in handling Francesca and Eloise out in society.

  5. Eloise Bridgerton

    Jealousy is not a good color on Eloise Bridgerton, but it does end up bringing her back to talk things out with Penelope one way or another.

    While Bridgerton season 2 ended their friendship on a bitter note, season 3 also sees a change in Eloise, not just in her new choice of friends but in the interest of keeping up with fashion; a much different approach than the Eloise who had sworn off feathers since season 1.

  6. Colin Bridgerton

    Gone are Colin Bridgerton's boyhood days now that he's practically traveled the world in a matter of months. Colin has become sturdier, as his brothers quoted, and is bolder and more daring this season 3.

    Willing to try anything and help his friend Pen on the marriage market, the only thing that hinders him from moving past friendship is confessing his true feelings to the wallflower.

  7. Penelope Featherington

    The wallflower manages to cast herself off from the corner of the room and decides it is time to stand out among the crowd for once, with the help of Colin Bridgerton.

    Gone are the flashy dizzying yellow ballgowns, and now Penelope has found herself a suitor none like the other: Lord Debling, who is very much interested in learning who she really is rather than meeting his exact match of the season.

    Colin would have to amp up his game if he wishes to make things clear with Penelope before season 3 ends.
