A week after attending her second Met Gala, Simone Ashley continues to make waves in the fashion world. “It was an incredible experience,” she tells Vogue. “Being invited back is a privilege, and with each visit, I learn more and more about fashion.”
At the Met Gala, Ashley captivated with a midnight-blue sequinned Prabal Gurung gown, her long hair reminiscent of Cher and Botticelli. On Monday night, she attended the New York premiere of Bridgerton’s third season in a stunning Prada look: a strapless, floor-length column crafted from silver metallic fabric with intricate beading that shimmered with every move.
Ashley completed her ensemble with silver sandals, classic silver earrings, and rings, exuding sophisticated simplicity. Inspired by Naomi Campbell’s 1995 Met Gala appearance in Versace couture, Ashley’s premiere look paid homage to iconic black fashion moments.
With her dress as the focal point, Ashley opted for a sleek, slicked-back hairdo and natural makeup, including minimalist nails. “The more understated the overall look, the cooler it all would appear together,” she explains.
In season three of Bridgerton, Ashley’s character Kate Sharma evolves, becoming more mature. The spotlight shifts to Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s enduring crush, with Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton delivering captivating performances that fill Ashley with pride.
As Ashley continues to shine on and off the red carpet, her style journey is one to watch.
