'I Wanted Mark to Always Be There': Hidden Wardrobe Easter Eggs in 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'

Stills from the films 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy', 'Bridget Jones's Diary'

 Nostalgic fashion moments that honor Mark Darcy and Bridget's journey.

Bridget Jones is back, and so are the iconic wardrobe pieces that defined her story. In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth film in the beloved franchise, Renée Zellweger steps back into Bridget's shoes, navigating the dating world four years after the heartbreaking loss of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Costume designer Molly Emma Rowe packed the film with subtle nods to the past, bringing fans on a nostalgic journey through Bridget's evolution.

From recreating memorable outfits to adding heartfelt details, here are six wardrobe Easter eggs you don't want to miss:

The Sheer Top and Black Bra Returns

As Bridget prepares for her first date with Roxster (Leo Woodall), she considers a sheer top with a black bra — a callback to her flirtatious moment with Daniel Cleaver in the first film. While the original top is long gone, Rowe meticulously recreated the look, spending hours analyzing the scene to capture the essence of the iconic outfit.

Granny Pants Make a Comeback

Bridget's infamous 'granny pants' resurface as she gets ready for her date. Ultimately, she opts for lace panties, a choice Rowe sees as a reflection of how women's standards and confidence have evolved over time.

A Necklace with a Heartfelt Addition

Bridget's Tiffany & Co. heart necklace now features a 'D' charm, a tender tribute to Mark Darcy. "I wanted Mark to always be there with her," says Rowe. In the film's final scene, Bridget's daughter Mabel wears the necklace, symbolizing Mark's lasting presence.

The Gray Jacket's Sentimental Return

Rowe brought back the gray jacket from the franchise's first film, worn by Bridget in the opening scene. It reappears in Mad About the Boy, a nod to fashion's cyclical nature and Bridget's enduring charm.

A Green Dress with Meaning

Bridget's green Victoria Beckham dress in the opening scene is a deliberate nod to another green dress from the third film, worn during a pivotal moment with Mark.

Penguin Pajamas Still in Action

Bridget's beloved penguin pajamas remain, now worn during a lively morning dance with her kids, marking a shift from past scenes of solitude.
