Bridgerton's Simone Ashley Looks Stunning at the Met Gala
Ahead of the Bridgerton season three premiere next week, stars of the Netflix regency romance hit the Met Gala carpet—including the Viscountess Bridgerton herself, Simone Ashley. For the evening, Ashley looked stunning in a gown designed by Prabal Gurung.
"Garden of Time evokes thoughts of fragility, delicate details, and pieces that are works of art—much like the ones we will see in the exhibit," Gurung told Town & Country. But it also reminds me of the styles and fabrics that stand the test of time, and remain classics despite the decades or the trends. And for me, reawakening fashion is just that: Finding new ways to interpret these tried and true materials or silhouettes, ultimately reinvigorating the classics for generations to come."
Ashley made her Met Gala debut two years ago, wearing a two-piece ensemble designed by Moschino. Tonight's outfit is similar in how the star plays with cutouts.
Bridgerton season three, part one drops next week, and Ashley will reprise her role as Kate. "Everyone knows this season belongs to Penelope and Colin, but when we meet Kate and Anthony again, she has softened quite a bit. She’s growing into her role as viscountess. Gosh, it feels like we filmed that season a lifetime ago. I’ve done other projects since then and feel like a different person, if I’m being honest," she said in a recent interview with Vogue India.
At the end of Bridgerton season two, the newly-married Kate and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) set off on their honeymoon, and from the looks of the season three trailer, the couple is back in the city and as in love as ever.
"Life after Bridgerton has been so exciting," Ashley said. "I was doing all these unbelievable things, like going to the Met Gala and shooting fashion editorials. It was a whirlwind. There were days when I would think, “What is going on?” I struggled to admit that I was overwhelmed because I’m a person with such clarity. I know exactly what I’m doing and what I want. I remember sitting with my team at the beginning of the year and saying, 'I want to focus on work.' Bridgerton comes out this month, and there’ll be two other films I worked on releasing this year as well, which are very different."
