Nicola Coughlan is set to join a prestigious list of stars, including Nicole Kidman and Jenna Ortega, with her exciting new six-figure beauty deal.

The Irish actress, known for her standout roles in Derry Girls and Netflix's Bridgerton, has been tapped to represent Neutrogena in their latest campaign.

The skincare giant, which has previously enlisted the help of Hollywood stars Nicola Kidman and Jenna Ortega, is now reportedly welcoming Coughlan, 38, to their roster of high-profile ambassadors.

The actress, who is said to have already filmed her debut Neutrogena campaign, is no stranger to brand partnerships, having previously collaborated with Kim Kardashian's shapewear line, SKIMS, last June.

A source told The Sun: “Nicola has filmed her campaign for Neutrogena and is thrilled to be on board with them.

“The deal is worth six figures, which is a great pay day for Nic to kick off 2025. Away from Bridgerton, Nicola has become a huge star in her own right.

“Getting signed up by Kim for SKIMS was massive for Nicola in building her CV and when Neutrogena came knocking she jumped at the chance.”

The Standard has contacted Nicola Coughlan’s rep for comment.

Coughlan's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric.

The past seven years have been a whirlwind for the Irish actress, who first captured the public's attention as Claire Devlin in Channel 4’s Derry Girls, propelling her to stardom across the UK and Ireland.

Her success continued with the role of Lady Penelope Featherington in Netflix's Bridgerton, which catapulted her to international fame.

At a special screening Q&A in Dublin last June, a female journalist praised her for her bravery in taking on the role—a comment some fans later deemed to be a backhanded compliment.

Relaying the seemingly backhanded remark to the audience, she quipped: “You know, it is hard because I think women with my body type — women with perfect breasts — we don't get to see ourselves onscreen enough.

“And I'm very proud as a member of the perfect breasts community. I hope you enjoy seeing them.”

She has also starred in other TV shows such as Channel 4’s Big Mood, and Doctor Who’s Christmas Special. The Galway native has also enjoyed success on the big screen enjoying a cameo in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and British comedy Seize Them!.
