In case you were too busy re-watching the carriage scene / listening to orchestral versions of various Pitbull songs to notice, Eloise Bridgerton spent much of Season 5 holding random fluffy accessories over her arms. Annnnd turns out that's because actor Claudia Jessie accidentally broke her wrist on set. As a result? Eloise's vibes were very much this: Though attempts to disguise the break didn't always work outâClaudia's cast was seemingly visible for a moment there on screen! So, how'd Claudia break her wrist? A celebratory on-set high kick, naturally.
"I'm quite an excitable person," she told Stephen Colbert on "I got there, it was 8:00. We hadn't even started filming, I feel so bad. To celebrate everybody's good mood, I did a high kick.
A celebratory high kick. I'm not a dancer. The circumference of the dress.
..it's finite, it ends at some point.
I wasn't in a track suit. So, when I put my leg up, I was restricted immediately and then I went back." In order to disguise the break, Claudia says the costume designers had to make a "summer muff," which Eloise was seen holding at random points throughout the season.
Definitely not a real thing, but hey. The costume team actually went as far as to have background actors wear "summer muffs," so Eloise's vibes wouldn't stand out to much. Like, is nothing if not committed!!!!.
