2024 may be the year of colour, but Simone Ashley is still paving the way for divinely sleek all-black aesthetics.
That’s not to say that Bridgerton actress is a colour avoidant. Quite the opposite in fact. She owns a slew of brilliantly hued pieces spanning sunny yellow Jacquemus gowns to candyfloss pink crocheted swimsuits, yet monochrome dressing seems to be her bread and butter.
On Thursday, Simone enjoyed a day out in New York, gracing the theatre with her ever-stylish presence. She slipped into a black high-neck long sleeve and co-ordinating black mini skirt, topped off with gold hardware and a sculpting fit.

Over her left shoulder was hooked Alexander McQueen’s ‘The Curve’ bag, which originally retailed for £1,190. The piece featured a cylindrical structure and harness-inspired straps.
Simone wore her dark hair down loose in a gently tousled fashion and opted for a barely-there yet polished makeup look for her daily outing in the East Coast sunshine. A lick of lemon yellow nail polish and two small gold hoop earrings topped off her all-black attire.

She oozed casual charm in a cream cardigan by Spanish label Loewe, featuring an asymmetrical hem, a low v-neckline and an Earth-toned Herbarium print, which currently retails for around £1,000.
Opting for a dose of playful pigment, Simone topped off her look with some opaque black tights, black court heels and a green shoulder bag that perfectly paired with the plants on her knit.
