Ego is a tough thing to shake in entertainment. In fact, it’s the cause of some of our most spectacular celebrity meltdowns and horror stories.

As a result, it’s all the more impressive when someone of note has the ability to keep their cool in the face of a perceived slight or indignity. Enter Nicola Coughlan

Nicola Coughlan’s Emmys red carpet moment goes viral

If you’re a viewer of Bridgerton and especially Derry Girls, you know Coughlan is a damn delight on so very many levels. Now, the internet is singing her praises further for the way she kept it together on the Emmys red carpet as people just sort of continuously ignored her, as seen in the clip below, which has been going viral.

It’s a rough look for those Emmy attendees who pass by in a stream of camera blocking and indifference.

Social media responds to the clip

But unlike those rubes, the Internet sees Nicola and appreciates her!

Regardless, it seemed like Nicola, who also presented that night, had a lovely—and very relatable—experience otherwise. She even posted a picture from that viral shootus interruptus. 

Keep on shining, Nicola Coughlan. We all see you and appreciate you!
