Last night, It-Brit Simone Ashley stepped out in London to celebrate the launch of the 2025 Pirelli Calander.
The actress, who plays Kate Bridgerton (nee Sharma) in Netflix's hit series Bridgerton, made her debut in this year's calendar titled "Refresh and Reveal", shot by Ethan James Green.
The images shared from inside the hard-to-get-your-hands-on annual issue are truly stunning (more on this later), and the outfit she wore to celebrate at the Natural History Museum, proved exactly why she's coveted sartorial muse.

A pair of sheer black tights and black court heels finished off her contemporary-chic ensemble.

The night also saw her fellow calendar stars including Padma Lakshmi, John Boyega, Martine Gutierrez and Elodie Di Patrizi in attendance.
H! Fashion's Orion Scott explains of the calendar images: "Shot on the beaches of Miami by famed fashion photographer Ethan James Green, the same genius behind many of the fashion sphere's most iconic editorial and cover shots, each subject features in both a full colour and black and white shot."
"Simone's chosen image was shot in a make-shift on-site studio set up at Miami’s Virginia Key Beach Park. The black and white image showcased the Sex Education actress in a revealing, yet overly chic sopping wet white ribbed tank top (ripped at one shoulder) and a set of knickers. Letting her natural long curly brunette locks roam free, Ethan captured the 29-year-old in her purest form, reminding lovers of fashion and photography just how striking a black-and-white image can be."
