Bridgerton to Bridgetown! It’s Phoebe’s Caribbean swimming costume drama...
HERE’S the queen of costume drama, creating some drama in a costume…
Phoebe Dynevor donned a daring bikini while on holiday in Barbados last week – and as if her choice of two-piece didn’t create a big enough splash, at one point she leapt into the turquoise Caribbean waters from a floating pontoon.
The 26-year-old actress had swapped Bridgerton for Bridgetown, the island’s capital, for a break ahead of the premiere of her big-screen debut, The Colour Room. And she soaked up the sun in a skimpy £115 Las Olas polka-dot bikini during a trip to a beach near the upmarket Sandy Lane resort.
As these striking pictures show, the actress initially appeared pensive as she strolled across the sand and sat on the deck.
Whether her thoughtful demeanour relates to her recent split from American comedian Pete Davidson is unclear. They had become close enough for him to be introduced to her parents Sally, who plays Sally Webster in Coronation Street, and screenwriter Tim – but they parted ways in August after a five-month romance, with insiders blaming distance and work commitments. Despite becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses, Ms Dynevor has admitted to lacking confidence. ‘I’m full of anxiety. I have a fear of failure, letting someone down,’ she told one interviewer. ‘I meditate, I have a therapist, I walk every day.’ The actress flew back to Britain from the Caribbean on Thursday to attend a preview of The Colour Room, in which she plays pioneering Stoke-on-Trent feminist and ceramic artist Clarice Cliff.
She said the ‘baggy-style’ 1920s clothes she wore in the film were a welcome costume change from the corsets she donned as Daphne Bridgerton in the hit Netflix drama, left, which returns for a second series next year.
