The MET Gala is one of the most star-studded nights of Hollywood—for a good reason. Loads of acclaim and fame can’t get you a ticket to the MET. While nobody knows what exactly you have to do to get an invitation to the MET, Bridgerton cast, including Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan, seem to be the first ones to get an invite.

The entire cast shone like diamonds as they made an appearance on the red carpet of the biggest fashion night of the year. But Simone Ashley, particularly, stole the limelight not just because of her trending popularity this year but also her dressing. Simone is in the talks because of her dewy brown skin and lustrous locks of curly hair, coupled with beautiful big cat-like eyes. Here’s what she wore at the MET.

Simone Ashley is a stunner at the MET

Simone looked stunning as she entered in a metallic gold-bustier paired with a high waisted, long maxi-skirt that hugged her body at the right places. There was a massive bow in the back as well. Fashion label Moschino put together the whole look. To complete the look, she wore a sultry burgundy shade of makeup and kept her hair back slicked up in a pony tail. The whole look was in accordance with this year’s theme, ‘gilded armor’.

Simone Ashley, who rose to fame because of her lead role in Netflix’s most watched series Bridgerton, hadn’t appeared in a major role before that. However, her face was familiar because she had starred in another famous Netflix drama, Sex Education. Born in England, Miss Ashley was the only non-academic person in her family.

Her love for all kinds of arts and classical music made her choose acting as a profession. An avid lover of action and adventure, Ashley is also an active speaker on colorism. She was selected as the lead for the show following an audition and a screen-test with Jonathan Bailey or Anthony Bridgerton as we know him.

As mentioned earlier, loads of acclaim and fame can’t get you a ticket to the MET.
