Sex Education actor Simone Ashley is headed to Bridgerton for the show's second season in 2022, and the costume-heavy drama has secured its biggest fashionista yet. The 26-year-old may have just attended her first fashion week ever this year, sitting front row with the likes of Miu Miu and Prada, but as you'd guess, the events produced a few noteworthy looks, including a black crystal-studded skirt and crop top set paired with chunky Prada lug-sole boots. The 2021 Fashion Awards in London brought on what may be the British star's most showstopping look of the year: a custom sequined asymmetric floor-length train gown by AZ Factory that could, with the amount of midriff revealed, almost pass for a two-piece, save for a thin strap that connects the top and bottom. In other words, Ashley basically invented the ultimate cutout dress. It seems the star is in on a few other trends, too: word on the TikTok street is ballet flats are headed back to the fashion front with modern updates, and Ashley, the fashion girl she is, donned a slingback low-heeled pair at Chanel's spring 2022 womenswear show.
