Simone Ashley, the British actress and breakout Bridgerton star has an exciting year ahead and is currently doing the rounds promoting her latest project Picture This.
Her starring role in the Brit romcom signals Simone’s breakthrough into A-lister status and she attended the premier at the Barbican Centre in London, looking flawless alongside her co-star Hero Fiennes Tiffin.
While the actress’ roles on screen have captured the nation, it’s her off-screen dressing that has us all excited.
Proving herself to be quite the modern style icon, she opted for monochromatic minimalism with a dramatic twist that let her spectacular silhouette do all the talking.

But Simone unexpectedly added an androgynous edge by pairing the dress with an oversized, structured blazer with super sharp shoulders.

The pairing of fluid drama with structured outerwear coughs up strength and softness in perfect harmony.

For accessories, Simone let the ensemble do most of the talking but opted for a simple gold ring and matching hoop earrings.
Picture This has a perfectly delightful romcom set-up, following Ashley’s character Pia try to lock down a date for her sister’s wedding as she reconnects with her ex, and sparks undoubtedly start to fly...
