To mark the much-anticipated Netflix release of the final episodes of Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2, the cast gathered for a special London premiere and screening at the Odeon LUXE in Leicester Square, England, on June 12, 2024.
With the resumption of Bridgerton’s third season on June 13, 2024, fans eagerly awaited subsequent developments in Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s love story.

The premiere’s red carpet fashion was spectacular. Guests were welcomed by a dramatically decorated red carpet adorned with tasteful floral embellishments, perfectly setting the tone for the event.
The series’ lead stars Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton attended the premiere, alongside their co-stars Claudia Jessie, Luke Thompson, Hannah Dodd, Victor Alli, Ruth Gemmell, Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, Jessica Madsen, Will Tilston, Florence Hunt, Harriet Cains, Martins Imhangbe, Emma Naomi, and many more.
Breaking the Mold in Daring Light Pink Del Core Gown
Simone Ashley, who captivated audiences as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton’s second season, made a striking impression on the red carpet—and in the best way possible.
In a world where the leading lady usually takes center stage, the 29-year-old British actress didn’t try to steal the spotlight but turned heads with her unique attire. It solidified her status as a rising fashion icon who consistently delivers unforgettable looks.

While the ladies of Bridgerton are known for their extravagant Regency-era gowns, Simone took a refreshing departure from that tradition. In my opinion, it’s a genius move!
Breaking from the show’s romantic aesthetic, she embraced the sheer trend, adding a modern twist to ‘regencycore.’
Her outfit is all about pushing the envelope. The Del Core Spire longline bra top, part of the Milan-based brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, is a bold statement piece.
The light pink satin bralette featured a sweetheart neckline, quirky molded cups, and structured seamed details that were undeniably eye-catching.
I love how the Sex Education star stayed true to a dusty pink color palette. The bustier was perfectly coordinated with the matching light pink Del Core maxi dress from their Fall/Winter 2024 collection.
This choice seemed like a subtle nod to the secret meetings and romantic escapades that define Simone’s character’s journey in Bridgerton Season 2.

I have to say, the gorgeous sheer lace gown worked beautifully on her. The off-the-shoulder neckline, with its notched ruffle and long sleeves with winged details, gave off a light, summery vibe.
The gown flowed beautifully, with open-weave chiffon and cascading ruffles adding a touch of whimsy. Of course, in the world of Bridgerton, this outfit would have caused quite a stir. It definitely wouldn’t have adhered to the strict dress codes of the Regency era.
But that’s what makes it so memorable! Simone owned this daring look, confidently allowing it to hint at her stunning figure beneath the layers of sheer fabric.
Monochrome Masterpiece With Nude Christian Louboutin Sandals and Dazzling Diamonds
Simone Ashley’s commitment to a cohesive look truly impresses me. She extended the monochrome aesthetic to her footwear, selecting a pair of Christian Louboutin Rosalie leather sandals in a shade that practically matched her dress. It’s a masterclass in creating a unified and polished ensemble.

The Rosalie sandals, crafted in Italy from a luxurious-grained beige leather, boasted a timeless elegance. During Paris Fashion Week in March 2025, Chappell Roan wore the same heels with a red leather dress from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Fall 2024 collection.
The pointed, open toes added a touch of sophistication, while the wavy straps wrapped around her foot and the high stiletto heels combined to elongate her legs and infuse a touch of glamour. You can buy them in many different color variations at Mytheresa.
Hannah Dodd Steals the Show in Crystal Strap Silver Heeled Mule Sandals
Simone wasn’t the only actress on the red carpet in heels by Christian Louboutin. Hannah Dodd impressed in an Atelier Versace handcrafted metal mesh bustier dress with three-dimensional draping.

She paired her dress with crystal strap silver-heeled mule Just Queen sandals and added sparkle with hair clips holding her crimped hair off her face. In 2022, Naomie Harris wore the same heels to the BFI Chair’s Fellowship Dinner. You can buy them at Mytheresa.

Simone Ashley’s Glamorous Accessories and Makeup by Top Stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray
Now, Simone’s stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray (who also works with some serious fashion royalty – think Florence Pugh, Salma Hayek, Priyanka Chopra, and Gemma Chan!), clearly wasn’t content to stop at just a stunning dress and matching shoes.

I love how she added a dazzling dose of sparkle with some serious bling courtesy of Suzanne Kalan. We’re talking about a whopping $50,000 worth of diamonds!
The show-stopping $24,775 Princess platinum diamond drop earrings were perfectly complemented by a $23,500 Suzanne Kalan Milli Stacker diamond eternity band, adding Hollywood glamour and undeniable luxury to the entire ensemble.
Simone’s makeup is another winner in my book. It strikes the perfect balance between natural and glowy, with a hint of smokiness in the eye shadow and a perfectly applied mauve lip color that popped beautifully against the light-colored gown.
To finish things off, styled her hair into sleek, slicked-back waves, adding modern elegance and effortless cool.
The cast of Bridgerton has captivated audiences not only with their on-screen performances but also with their impeccable fashion choices on the red carpet:
