On the first day of Bridgerton, Netflix gave to me....
Benophie being cute.

This short is Benedict and Sophie in the same costumes, and setting, as for their individual promotional shorts that I previously wrote about here and here.
What is notable with this promotional short, seeing them side by side, is the complimentary colours with their costumes. In the initial video of Sophie, I thought her costume could be more burgundy, but when seen alongside Benedict's it looks more rust coloured, which compliments his trousers nicely. What also is noticeable is how Benedict's green coat and waistcoat picks out the green in Sophie's maid costume.
The idea of the leads wearing complimentary colours in the promotional shorts was first seen with Kate and Anthony in season 2, where they were very deliberately matched for the promotional shorts. For season 3 there was a hint of complimentary colours between Colin's waistcoat and Penelope's dress, but they weren't matching to the same degree as Kate and Anthony before them. Benedict and Sophie fall in between to a degree, while Sophie's dress does appear to match the colour of Benedict's trousers, we see a more subtle match up in the waistcoat and coat with Sophie's dress, giving a strong complimentary colour palette with hints of matching.
As with the previous shorts, this video has no narration and is set to music, mirroring season 3 where the first character promotional shorts were set to music and not a Lady Whistledown VoiceOver. What we do see with this short promotional video is Benedict and Sophie sneaking peeks at each other then quickly looking away with a small smile, which is very cute of them.
Stand by for Day 2
