On the second day of Bridgerton, Netflix gave to me....
3 Season 4 stills.
Bridgerton released 3 stills for their second day of the 12 days of Bridgerton. The stills included one of Benedict, one of Sophie and one of Penelope, however, as it is day 2 of the 12 days of Bridgerton, and I believe they should have only released two stills, I am only going to discuss 2 of the stills released.

In the first still we see Benedict leaning against a fence or gate, possibly at night, appearing to be looking up, potentially at a house/window - but whose? Benedict is dressed in a deep blue jacket with a patterned gold and black waistcoat and a white shirt. On the bottom of Benedict's waistcoat there appears to It appears that Benedict may have a new fob chain for his watch, and it looks like the design on the fob includes a heart shaped design and flowers that may be hibiscus flowers, which are the national flower of Korea. The peek we get of Benedict's waistcoat appears to have flowers and plant motifs embroidered, and the flowers look like they could be Tulips in a call back to his waistcoat from the Pall Mall game, however, I am not really sure what type of flowers they are, but maybe a question for the costume designer. Another theory I had, which is also a bit out there, is that they could be representing something like a Wattle or Waratah as a subtle hidden nod to Yerin being Australian. If you don't know, the Wattle is the national flower of Australia, and the Waratah is the state flower of New South Wales.

Sophie:
This image of Sophie shows her laying on a bed in a bare room, in the picture she is holding one long white evening glove, most likely the glove that she was wearing at the Masquerade Ball. Sophie is in a maids uniform, and appears to be the one from her stepmother's household. What we see up close is that this uniform is not plain black as it appeared initially in the sneak peek we got on Valentine's Day, but rather it appears to be alternating dark reddish brown and a lighter brown colour with black pinstripes. This is similar to her promotional costume in that the colour is deceptive, initially appearing as one block colour but on closer inspection is actually patterned with multiple colours.
In this image it is most likely after the ball as Sophie only has one glove and is looking at the glove as if she is remembering, and trying to prolong the feelings she had.
Another interesting thing to note in this image is the pattern on Sophie's bedding. The pattern is not usual for Regency England, and potentially are inspired by, or representative of, Korean patterns. This could indicate that the bedding, or at least the blanket, is something that belonged to her mother as opposed to being something provided by Araminta.
