Which Ride or Die actor plays Genevieve Delacroix in Bridgerton?

Kathryn Drysdale plays Genevieve Delacroix in Bridgerton.

Genevieve is the fashionable modiste who creates dresses for the women of London’s ton. Although she presents herself as French, the character is actually faking that identity. Her shop becomes a discreet meeting place, and she has an affair with Benedict Bridgerton during the first season.

Drysdale is an English actress from Wigan, born in 1981. She became widely recognized in Britain for playing Louise Brooks in the BBC sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. Her other credits include St Trinian’s and the royal parody series The Windsors, in which she played Meghan Markle.

In Bridgerton’s second season, Genevieve also helps Penelope Featherington with her covert Lady Whistledown operation. That makes her more than a costume-maker: she is connected to the series’ social secrets and information networks. Viewers sometimes confuse her with the show’s real costume designers, but Delacroix is a fictional character within the story.
