When you think bodice-ripping, you think Bridgerton. The hit series has had its fair share of memorable moments throughout its three seasons to date (with more promised once Season 4 premieres). Think Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset’s (Regé-Jean Page) wedding night, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton’s (Luke Newton) carriage tryst, and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey). Yes, just Anthony Bridgerton. Bailey, who plays the rakish eldest Bridgerton son, has brought humor and charm to upper-crust London society. But he’s also brought heart and emotion to the family drama. Read on for some of Bailey’s best Bridgerton moments.

1. Anthony’s Season 1 sideburns

The first episode of Bridgerton, “Diamond of the First Water,” gives Anthony quite the memorable introduction. He’s first glimpsed in flagrante with a lover — though the camera offers more than just a glimpse of his backside. But across Season 1, as we get to see more sides of Anthony, one (of many) things that stands out is his fabulous mop of hair, and, more particularly, his truly impressive sideburns. Sadly, they were only in Season 1, but luckily the remaining seasons show Anthony serving looks left and right. 

2. Anthony walks Daphne down the aisle

In Bridgerton Season 1, Episode 5 (“The Duke and I”), Anthony and Simon have an intense talk before Daphne and Simon go to Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) to make their case for their marriage. Once they get the Queen’s approval, the couple have a small, intimate wedding. As eldest brother and head of the house, Anthony walks Daphne down the aisle, in a heartswelling display of brotherly affection. 

3. Anthony falls into a pond

Bridgerton Season 2 follows Anthony’s begrudging quest to find a wife. When Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) is named the jewel of the season, Anthony decides to pursue her, meaning he first must win the approval of her older sister, Kate (Simone Ashley). Kate and Anthony immediately despise one another, but, in classic enemies-to-lovers fashion, they are also incredibly attracted to each other. By episode 5 (“An Unthinkable Fate”), Anthony and Edwina are betrothed, but his and Kate’s attraction is undeniable. Helping Kate out of a boat at an outdoor gathering, Anthony trips and falls into a pond after a sexually tense grasp of hands. An embarrassing moment, but also a revealing one: His wet t-shirt moment gets everyone hot and bothered, especially Kate. 

4. Anthony and Kate seal the deal

Anthony is about to wed Edwina, but a brief moment with Kate makes the bride realize where her future husband’s affections truly lie. Naturally, the wedding is off, but it still takes Anthony and Kate some time to actually get it together to be together. When they finally do, it’s electric. But after Kate needs to process their night together, Anthony finds himself alone the next morning. 

5. Anthony and Kate tie the knot

Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) imagines his wedding to Kate (Simone Ashley) in ‘Bridgerton.’

Anthony realizes that he loves Kate in Episode 6 (“The Choice”), when he fantasizes about marrying her instead of her sister. Of course, the reality is more complicated than the fantasy, and their journey to the altar is hardly straightforward. After Kate has an accident in Episode 8 (“The Viscount Who Loved Me”), Anthony waits in anguish for word of her condition, finally proposing when she recovers. Kate initially resists, even contemplating a return to India, until Anthony’s late declaration of love changes her mind. And then the pair live happily ever after.
