We all love Simone Ashley's style. The Bridgerton, Sex Education and The Little Mermaid star and acting force has emerged as a new gen fashion icon thanks to her daring eye for colour and love for unexpected silhouettes. And thanks to being on the more experimental end of the style spectrum, sometimes she pulls a look that has us full-on gasping due to just how hard she's slayed.
Some of our fave moments include her underwear-as-outerwear Barbiecore slip dress worn on the red carpet, her Paris Hilton-worthy sparkle dress mini, a summer inspo backless green dress and a daring sapphire blue Tom Ford trouser suit. Tens! Tens! Tens across the board!
Now she's returned to form with a gorge fit that has all jaws on the floor. Specifically, Simone joined the other fashion girly of the moment - Dua Lipa - for the pop star's very hyped 'La Vacanza' High Summer Versace show in Cannes, which Ms Dua co-designed alongside Donatella herself.
Posing for photos with Dua and Donatella and also posting solo pics on IG, Simone was seen wearing a mini dress in bright salmon pink, neon green and mauve shades (by Versace, obvs). She wore the look with long, loose hair and contrasting stilettos, looking every inch the bombshell.
One detail she might not have expected? Fans on her IG pointing out that the dress bears and ever-so-slight resemblance to the iconique, multi-tone green, mauve and turquoise empire line dress worn by Jennifer Garner in the 'Thriller' scene from 'aughts rom-com 13 Going on 30.
That reminds us, it's time to give that movie a good old re-watch...
