At a press event in London in September 2019, Coughlan embraced her inner '90s style star with an iconic look from the decade: a pink cut-out maxi dress and a denim trucker jacket on top. She completed the outfit with a crossbody black bag.

Coughlan went for a borrowed-from-the-boys look at the BFI & Radio Times Television Festival in April 2019. Though she chose a tailored suit and graphic tee underneath, she wore a romantic pink color and added in a print by way of leopard boots.
