The Irish actress, 37, and Luke, 31, play Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in the wildly popular Netflix hit, which returned with part one of its new series on May 3
The actor teamed the blazer with a white Versace branded vest top and wore a pair of light grey flared jeans to match.
The stars who take on the lead roles in series three looked cosy with one another as they posed for the snappers.
It comes after Luke recently opened up about how he and Nicola dealt with shooting their racy sex scenes.
The third series follows his blossoming romance with Penelope Featherington [Nicola Coughlan] as they navigate turning from friends to lovers.
Opening up on how they dealt with working on sex scenes after years as friends, Luke told High Life, British Airways’ magazine, that it was a ‘breeze’.
Luke explained: ‘Looking back, it was a breeze. She’s my friend, so we just giggle about it.’
‘There are those moments when you come out of your body and go, “Oh, millions of people will see this.” But then I’ve been an actor for many years now. People have seen my performance on stage and other shows, so you feel confident.’
Discussing his close friendship with Nicola and how they’d spend time in between scenes, Luke revealed they would enjoy morning singalongs.

He said: ‘We’d always get ready in the makeup trailer together so we’d be sharing playlists.’
Popular choices for the pair apparently included Beyoncé, The 1975 and Shania Twain’s Man I Feel Like A Woman.
During the chat, Luke also revealed the one thing he has to do before filming a scene, which he said has become a ‘reset moment’.
Revealing that he has to brush his teeth before filming, he said: ‘It’s so random when they call me to travel to set and must be so frustrating for the assistant directors,’ he laughs. ‘But it’s a reset moment.’

It comes after Nicola confirmed that she and co-star Luke got ‘so comfortable’ that they would lounge together naked in between filming sex scenes.
The eagerly-anticipated new season will feature the actress getting hot and heavy with her love interest Colin.
Nicola has already teased that series three will be even raunchier than the previous two, which became famous for their racy moments.
But despite admitting she was initially nervous about having her own intimate scenes, the Derry Girls star has gushed that she and Luke got to the point where they were able to relax, even while nude.
Nicola appeared on the cover of the April issue of Teen Vogue, looking resplendent in a sparkly off-the-shoulder gown.
Speaking to the publication, she was asked about the veracity of her and Luke’s previous comments about their comfortability on set.
In February, the pair had spoken to AP about the show’s sex scenes, with Nicola saying: ‘There is such vulnerability in those scenes and it’s also a really important part of the story – they’re an important part of the narrative.
‘But [Luke] made me feel really taken care of. Like we really had each other’s backs and also then we could just have a laugh about it. Like to the point that we were just lying under a blanket being like “We’re actually chill now.”‘

Luke laughed and echoed: ‘Yeah halfway through the day you just relax and you’re like “I don’t even care that I’m naked”.’
Nicola added: ‘We were having the best time. They were like do you want to get up and we were like “No, no, I’m fine. I’m comfy”.’
Speaking to Teen Vogue, Nicola confirmed: ‘Yeah, so it’s really funny. That is true.
‘It is a testament to the fact that we just got to a point where we were so comfortable together. We’d just finished the big sex scene, the most intense and involved one…. and we just felt relieved.’
She added that logistically it also made sense to only be clad in a tiny amount of ‘not of even real clothes’ so they could get back to work straight away.
