Simone Ashley’s recent days have been filled with boat rides, dinner with friends and taking fun snaps of her everyday adventures. And of course, she was dressed to the nines for every single excursion, showing that the fashionista in her never stops pumping out stylish outfits.

The Bridgerton actress recently gave her 4 million Instagram fans a peek into her life, opening up a new photo drop with an image of her looking very relaxed, wrapped in a towel while sailing on a boat. The snap after that showed her giving a piggyback ride to her friend on a sunny day. She sported a chic black and white patterned string bikini with red shapes scattered around the garment. A very summery look that’s perfect for this season.

Also in this photo drop lies not one but two show-stopping outfits. The first was a sultry zebra print jumpsuit that showed off her toned legs. She paired this garment with black pointed-toe heels that further elevated her look. Her black shoulder bag accomplished the same as a nice accessory to complement the incredible ensemble.

The other praiseworthy outfit featured a different spectacular pattern that is also very popular this summer: that’s right, polka dots!

Ashley is in the running for one of the best looks with this design, as her subtle black polka dot slip dress was head-turning. What immediately stood out was the mesh fabric, which made the dots pop more. This allowed the print to flourish without taking away from the other amazing aspects of the dress. Simply put, it’s to die for.

Fashion comes naturally to the British actress—so much so that she considers every single detail from the moment she puts on her pieces. Ashley believes fashion can even have a profound impact on the photos she's in.

“It’s not just about how you feel wearing a particular outfit, but also about how it’s going to photograph," Ashley told Harper's Bazaar UK. “So many factors are involved in creating an incredible look; it’s almost like a movie. When everything comes together, from the nail colour to the jewellery to the makeup, and the photos really work, that makes me feel great.”

In addition to photographs, the 30-year-old also knows the impact fashion can have on others who look up to her and feel seen, adding, “I want to represent women and particularly women who look like me. I want to show what it is to be confident and really have fun with fashion.”

“I also love using my skin as an accessory, so I do a lot of mini skirts and clothes that show off my skin,” she stated regarding her go-to looks. “I love the colour of my skin and drawing attention to it. That’s not to say I don’t also enjoy dressing more conservatively, either—I’m an actress, so one must have boundaries sometimes.”
