Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh prefers a more androgynous look in real life
Like Lady Danbury, Adjoa Andoh was born in England, though she was brought up in the idyllic countryside rather than bustling London. Referring to herself as “a hippy from the Cotswolds” in a feature for The Countryside Charity, Andoh still holds a special place for nature in her life, even though now she’s globally famous. Her role as Lady Agatha Danbury shot her to international stardom, but she has worked on several admirable projects over the years, including “Dr. Who,” and has performed with the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
One of the many ways she is different from her on-screen character is her personal style. Aside from the fact that Andoh and Danbury live two centuries apart, Andoh frequently opts for outfits that feature subtle and muted tones rather than the rich jewel colors of Lady Danbury’s wardrobe. She certainly pulls off a sophisticated and elegant look when she wants to, rocking a stunning sage-green gown to the 2025 SAG Awards, but her go-to style leans into androgynous dressing and conservative necklines, prioritizing shades like navy and brown. “I love a sort of androgyny … For me I feel quite comfortable in gender neutral clothes,” she said on the “Amanda Wakeley: Style DNA” podcast.
Beauty-wise, Andoh wears a similar radiant makeup look to red carpets as Lady Danbury wears to balls in the ton. Of course, perhaps the biggest difference is her hair; while Lady Danbury has long hair often coiled up into intricate ‘dos beneath her hats and tiaras, Andoh keeps things simple with a daring buzzcut. “I’m interested in people being who they are as a person, not conforming to any particular stereotypes we have about what a gendered person should be,” she added on the podcast. Of course, Andoh is just one of the “Bridgerton” stars who looks totally different in real life!
