Her name has become synonymous with Regency waitlines, sequinned mini dresses and the coolest brands across Europe, yet Simone Ashley continues to whole-heartedly immerse herself in the fashion world.
Earlier this week, the Bridgerton actress touched down in Italy to attend Milan Fashion Week. The 29-year-old took her prestigious place on Prada’s front row, ready to witness the brand’s SS25 offerings come to life on the runway.
For the exclusive event, staged in Prada’s Milanese headquarters, Simone tapped into the label’s house codes, sporting a black puffball mini dress - a signature Prada silhouette.
The playful garment featured a bandeau bustier and a voluminous skirt, complete with a high-rise waistline that was reminiscent of those worn by the actress’ beloved character Kate Sharma on the Netflix series.

Simone completed her fashion week attire by slipping into the brand’s leather slingbacks, which showcase an elegant point-toe, the house triangle logo in a slightly padded leather form and a geometric line of the heel.

The actress, who formerly starred in Sex Education, wore her hair in a modern, straightened style with a futuristic side parting and opted for a radiant beauty blend.

It’s shaping up to be a busy fashion month for Simone. The L’Oreal Paris ambassador attended the 16Arlington show during London Fashion Week, showing her support for creative director and friend Marco Capaldo.
For the It-girl-studded affair, Simone oozed cool-girl charisma in an iridescent mint green mini featuring a high neckline and statement black florals.
