Where in the world is Olandria Carthen now? As of January 14, she’s at the season four premiere of Bridgerton in Paris. And that’s just days after attending the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood on January 11. Carthen’s global takeover cannot be stopped at this point, and honestly, who would want to?
At the Globes, Carthen walked the carpet in emerald green Christian Siriano and proved that she’s an undeniable star. Now she’s just living up to her reputation.
To the Bridgerton season four premiere in Paris, the former Love Islander and current supermodel wore an appropriately theatrical gown. The black strapless dress had a steeply plunging neckline and corset bodice, which included a structural beaded detail at the waist, framed by a bit of tulle. Its voluminou, bubble-hem skirt included colorful illustrations and reached just above the ankle. Carthen rounded out the look with a few cocktail rings, but the primary accessory was her lacy black headpiece, worn over her eyes like a veil.
Netflix tweeted about Carthen’s appearance from its official account, writing, “LADY OLANDRIA ARRIVES TO THE BRIDGERTON BALL,” in all caps. In another post, Netflix wrote in the voice of Bridgerton’s Lady Whistledown. “Dearest Readers, what’s a ball without a most dazzling surprise?” the post read. “Our diamond of the season, Olandria, has officially made her entrance as a stunning guest at the Bridgerton Paris premiere.”
Clearly it has been a big few months for Carthen. In addition to the Bridgerton premiere and the Golden Globes, Carthen has been on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam and was Glamour’s own December cover star alongside boyfriend Nic Vansteenberghe.
How, exactly, Olandria Carthen found herself at the Bridgerton premiere in Paris is unimportant. It’s clear that as long as she’s on a red carpet, she is exactly where she belongs.
