As dear readers know, part one of the fourth season of Netflix’s Bridgerton is finally here—and we had the chance to sit down with two of its brightest diamonds. Claudia Jessie, 36, plays the spirited Eloise Bridgerton, while Hannah Dodd, 30, portrays her more reserved sister, Francesca. And both actors are currently ambassadors for jewelry brand Pandora, which recently unveiled a Bridgerton-inspired collection rich in show and Regency-era motifs, including bows, bees, and wisteria.
Ahead of the collection’s London launch party, we chatted with Jessie and Dodd about the self-care staples they keep in their bags (including romantasy books, crochet kits, and sheet masks), their current personal styles (it’s all about tailoring), and the slip-on shoes that make long flights more bearable.
Claudia & Hannah’s favorites, at a glance
What do you keep in your bag at all times?
Claudia Jessie: Everything in my bag is essentially panic-attack prevention. I have a Patagonia Black Hole rucksack—my boyfriend got it for me. Everything is in it, whether it’s my Nintendo Switch, Kindle, a physical book, Bach Rescue Remedy, CBD oil, or crystals. I’ve got something called a worry worm that I crocheted for Hannah and me. You can fiddle with it in your fingers.
Hannah Dodd: Our set bags are quite similar. I have the crochet bookmark that Claudia made me, my own crystals, Rescue Remedy, anti-anxiety pills. I have my character’s perfume, which is Coach. Day-to-day, I wear Glossier You or Chanel. Lip balm is Elizabeth Arden, 9 times out of 10. Hand sanitizer is whatever I can get my hands on—I’m a germophobe.
Claudia: I use any Lush lip balms—they’re my favorite. And then, my mum—because she’s such a cutie pie—bought me the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum spray, so I have that in my bag.
Glamour: Have any of these products come in handy?
Hannah Dodd: Are you kidding? I am that person who—when somebody’s like, “Oh, my phone’s out of battery packs” or “I’ve got something in my teeth”—I’ve got everything in my bag.
Claudia: The Rescue Remedy I use almost every day. So good. I’ve got the little ones that you can suck on as well. They’re fantastic. And I always play my Nintendo Switch. It’s a great distraction.
