Eve Hewson plays the role of the all-important bride, Amelia Sacks, in The Perfect Couple. She is an outsider to the Nantucket high society to which her soon-to-be husband Benji Winbury (Billy Howle) belongs. Her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), dislikes her.

However, Amelia loves her husband and tries to fit into the snobbish high society. The only one accompanying her through the fiasco is her best friend, Merritt Monaco (portrayed by Meghann Fahy).

Although the character portrayed by Hewson is named Celeste Otis in the book, the showrunners changed it to Amelia Sacks. The name change was done to avoid any confusion among viewers since Nicole Kidman has portrayed a character named Celeste in the popular series Big Little Lies.
