Through a new collaboration with the hit Netflix and Shondaland series Bridgerton, Dove continues its mission to champion real beauty, self-expression, and care as an act of confidence.

HOBOKEN, N.J., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beauty brand Dove, alongside Netflix and Shondaland, come together on the "Let Them Talk" campaign. This Bridgerton partnership celebrates the women who break barriers and express their real beauty with confidence. Just as Bridgerton challenges the rules of society through characters who defy convention and embrace their individuality, Dove has stood for redefining beauty on more inclusive, empowering terms for nearly 70 years. Together, both brands invite audiences to proudly own their unique beauty, defy convention, and simply let them talk.

Whether it's chatter from Lady Whistledown's society papers or comments on content in our feeds, critique can narrow beauty into a single ideal. In both worlds, women shrink and mask their real beauty to avoid scrutiny. But real power belongs to the women who defy beauty standards and refuse to blend in, despite the opinions of others. "Let Them Talk" is a campaign designed to remind everyone that true confidence isn't dependent on others' approval.

Together, Dove and Bridgerton launch the 'Let Them Talk' film, spotlighting the real beauty of five creators known for showing up online and IRL unapologetically and with total confidence. The campaign is amplified by a global network of influencers who bring the 'Let Them Talk' message to life in their own voices and across cultures. At the Bridgerton Season 4 Global Premiere in Paris, Dove and Bridgerton turned the mic over to real fans and talent, who shared their modern day takes on how to rise above society's whispers and show up confidently. Extending beyond the screen, the collaboration includes a limited edition Dove x Bridgerton product collection exclusively available at Target. Together, every element of the partnership is united by one powerful idea: Let real beauty be the talk of the ton.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Netflix and Shondaland's Bridgerton, who share a similar commitment to real beauty, celebrating women who define themselves on their own terms," said Marcela Melero, Chief Growth Officer, Dove Personal Care North America and Dove Masterbrand. "Let Them Talk is a resonant call to action across generations to show up as you are, take up space and let them talk."

"Partnering globally with Dove on a true 360° campaign really gave us the opportunity to extend the beloved world of Bridgerton into powerful moments and products for our members," said Magno Herran, VP of Global Brand Partnerships at Netflix. "At its core, Bridgerton has always championed the idea of challenging societal expectations and celebrating individuality in all its forms. Across the partnership, we're spotlighting authenticity, proving that the true spirit of Bridgerton is just as relevant today as it was in the ton."

Grounded in real beauty and inspired by the world of Bridgerton, this collaboration celebrates authenticity as its own form of royalty. Season 4 of Bridgerton will premiere on Netflix in two batches on January 29 and on February 26, 2026.
