On the heels of her jaw-dropping appearance at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 11, Love Island USA Season 7 alumna Olandria Carthen hopped on a plane and headed to Paris for the premiere of Bridgerton Season 4.

On location in The City of Lights, the Alabama native donned an all-black ensemble that effortlessly caught our eye. The plunging midi dress, from Rahul Mishra—as Carthen, credited in her Instagram story—featured a corset-like bodice, adorned with sequins. It also displayed a trendy bubble hem and multicolored artwork along its skirt. To complete her red carpet look, the 27-year-old wore a lace headpiece—which shielded the top half of her face—along with a pair of closed-toed black pumps. Carthen also exhibited a slick updo.

While Carthen has not posted her look to her 2.2 million Instagram followers just yet (at the time of publication), Netflix—which also changed its bio on the app to “BRIDGERTONLANDRIA”—added a duo of snaps of the reality television star turned fashion model to its grid. “I had such an amazing time!,” Carthen commented under the pair of posts from the overseas event. “Thank you Netflix 🥹❤️,” she concluded.

Fans of the social media sensation also took to its comment section to show her some love. One user wrote, “OMG THIS IS SO MAJOR,” while another urged the streaming platform, “PUT HER IN THE NEXT SEASONNNN.”

While fans are manifesting another on-screen stint for Carthen—who came in second on the Peacock reality TV series with her beau, Vansteenberghe—they won’t have to wait very long for Bridgerton’s fourth season to hit their screens. Season 4’s first installment will debut on Jan. 29, roughly one month before its second on Feb. 26.

And if you’re curious as to what’s ahead on the long-time series, which first debuted in 2020, Luke Thompson—who plays Benedict Bridgerton—gave Netflix’s Tudum a peek. “The storyline is a bit of a twist on ‘Cinderella,’” the 37-year-old actor told the outlet. “You remember being told those stories as a child—the magic and the romance of them.”

Thompson later added, “It’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world.” He also elaborated, “You have to hold both of them — the romance and the reality — in your hand. In its best version, ‘true love’ happens in the middle of that.”
