Every fashion lover knows that the key to perfecting any outfit is to add a fashionable yet functional handbag. 

An easy addition to spice up any look, from slouchy pyjamas à la the morning Tesco run to stellar date night dinner ensembles, adding a delicious dose of arm candy is a sartorial must. 

One A-lister who knows this fact all too well is beloved Bridgerton diamond Simone Ashley

Casual and cool, Simone stood beside her advertorial billboard on the underground walls

Posting yesterday to her slew of Instagram followers, Simone shared a snap of herself posing in front of a large promotional billboard for her new partnership with L'Oréal. In the pic, she can be seen donning a casually cool ensemble, consisting of baggy blue jeans and a crewneck sweatshirt. Though not a stand-out look in itself, the Bridgerton babe elevated the off-duty aesthetic with a sleek (not to mention enviable) black Prada shoulder bag.

Simone is no stranger to supremely stylish dressing. From her sheer nude red carpet look to her ultra-chic Stella McCartney little black dress, the star has a few tricks up her style-savvy sleeve when it comes to assembling an ensemble.

I still think about this look weekly

Aside from her elegant outfits, the actress has made it very clear that bold handbags are her kryptonite. Just a few months ago, she opted for a sparkly silver Valentino option to match her birthday ‘fit. Prior to that in 2022, she turned heads at the Jacquemus show, slipping into a full look from the French fashion mogul - white Le Sac Rond bag included.

If Simone’s recent off-duty look is anything to go by, adding a chic bag to any look will elevate it tenfold.
