  • Simone Ashley, a breakout star from "Bridgerton," has since become known for her daring fashion.
  • The actor, who's also appeared in "Sex Education," often wears sheer outfits and bold cutouts.
  • She's also seemingly fond of neon looks and plunging necklines for red-carpet events.

Simone Ashley wore a daring look at a September 2021 fashion show she attended early in her acting career.

In November 2021, she made an appearance at a Swarovski event while wearing a Magda Butrym dress.

Her sleeveless black gown had cutouts across its bodice and a tall slit in its skirt. She completed the look with Louboutin heels and a thick diamond necklace.

Later that same month, for the 2021 Fashion Awards, Ashley sported even bolder cutouts.

Her black AZ Factory dress was custom-made for her by designer Norman Rene' De Vera. It had a single long sleeve, sparkles from top to bottom, and a thin strap across her stomach that held the gown's top and bottom together.

Its skirt was also dramatic, with a long train and almost waist-high slit.

Ashley showed the colorful side of her daring style at the EE British Academy Film Awards in March 2022.

She walked the red carpet in a custom Valentino jumpsuit. The neon-pink look had loose-fitting pants, a see-through top made from mesh, and a cape-like back.

Underneath the suit, Ashley wore a uniquely-cut bralette created by the fashion house.

She also wore a plunging, purple Valentino outfit that same day.

Her second Valentino look that day was a vibrant piece from the fashion house's spring 2022 collection with wide straps that covered her chest and acted as a top. The feature also created a plunging neckline that connected to the waistband of her miniskirt. 

For accessories, Ashley sported black sandals and a purple shawl.

Later that month, Ashley wore a daring Gucci design to celebrate the "Bridgerton" season two premiere.

The focus of her red-carpet look was her see-through skirt, which was made from black lace that had a floral design. The skirt also had a row of green velvet at its hem, and a silk waistband.

Her blouse was also bold. She wore a white crop top with a ruffled neckline and sheer lace sleeves that extended into gloves.

She returned to bold cutouts just a few days later while attending a pre-Oscar party.

Her brown-and-black Nensi Dojaka dress had a strappy bodice covered in cutouts, and off-the-shoulder sleeves.

She wore the dress with an updo hairstyle and pointed black pumps.

After the 2022 Oscars, she chose a bold, black-and-white look designed by Burberry.

Her halter dress had multiple standout details: a lace-up bodice, fringe that extended from her waist to the floor, and an all-over cow print.

Ashley then attended another "Bridgerton" event in a glamorous gown with three daring details.

Her mock-neck, long-sleeved gown — designed by Alexandre Vauthier — had a triangular cutout at her waist, a wrapped skirt, and a thigh-high slit.

In June 2022, Ashley channeled old Hollywood for a Tiffany & Co. event.

British brand 16Arlington designed her blush-colored dress, which had a corset bodice and crisscrossed halter straps.

For accessories, the actor chose a feathered shawl and sparkling heels with bows.

She then stole the show at "The Gray Man" premiere thanks to her daring dress from Mônot.

The gown had a bondage-style design up top, with thick straps across her shoulders and chest. Its skirt, on the other hand, was straight and reached her ankles.

To add some glamour, Ashley also wore diamond jewelry and classic black pumps.

To kick off Paris Fashion Week 2022, Ashley used a minidress to create the illusion that she was naked underneath a slip of lace.

She attended Paris Fashion Week in a white lace minidress that had long sleeves and a micro-mini skirt.  She also donned underwear that matched her skin tone but skipped a bra.

The rest of her outfit included a sparkling jacket, strappy black heels, and a simple, updo hairstyle that kept all eyes on her outfit.

Weeks later, she rocked the "naked" trend once again.

She attended the Time100 Next event in a black ensemble covered in a neon-yellow print from her shirt to her heels.

But it was her blouse that stood out the most. She wore the garment, which was especially bold thanks to its see-through mesh, with no bra underneath.

More recently, Ashley wore a micro minidress at Versace's Fall/Winter 2023 show in March.

The sleeveless Versace look was crafted from a pink fabric with a black floral print. It also had a scooped neckline, panels across its skirt, and pockets.

She rocked a similar style with a dramatic train at "The Little Mermaid" premiere on Monday.

Her cream-colored, lace minidress was embellished with hot-pink fabric that spread across its bodice into off-the-shoulder straps and a flowing train.

The look was designed by Versace.
