This movie is one of my favourite movies of all time and I’ve probably watched it over a hundred times yet I still hadn’t clocked all of the meaningful wardrobe cues you’ve detailed here. It makes me want to watch it again with fresh eyes! You’re so right about Perpétua, Bridget’s SAME AGE foil, ie late 30s 😵😵😵😵.

Well, I cleared out my evening engagements for the week because I tested positive for Covid, so guess what I’ll be watching (again) 😂

What a thoughtful take on Bridget Jones! It really made me fall in love with the movie. Also I totally relate, I still don't get the When Harry Met Sally hype.

I absolutely loved reading this! Bridget was the most relatable girl then, and now… going to watch it tonight with a reminder to be myself!

Oh I think i need to rewatch this! Have only seen it once, later in adulthood so I missed out on the hype time for it!!
