A Bridgerton-themed “ball” in Detroit that cost between $150 and $1,000 (£115-£750) left social media users comparing the event to the infamous Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow.
Organizers Uncle & Me LLC promised an “enchanting world of the Regency era” in an evening of “sophistication, grace and historical charm” with “exquisite music, dancing and costumes.”
However, guests were left disappointed: One creator documented the simple decor and lack of entertainment in this video.
The event was not endorsed by Netflix or Shondaland.
The Independent has contacted the organisers, who told a local outlet they were working to address the concerns, for comment.
