English actress Simone Ashley isn’t making the wait for Bridgerton season 2 any easier!

The celebrity looks absolutely stunning in her latest Instagram flicks. If she looks this good here, then we can only imagine how breathtaking she’s going to look in the upcoming season. Of course, we’ll have to wait a tad bit longer to see Simone’s lovely vintage dresses on our screens, but thankfully, we don’t have to wait that long to see her in a stylish modern minidress.

Simone Ashley’s low-cut minidress

In her new Instagram post, Simone Ashley donned a very alluring purple cut-out minidress that stops just before her thighs. Speaking of the bottom of her dress, it resembles a simple yet sophisticated miniskirt and appears to be much brighter than the rest of her ensemble.

Working our way up, we see Simone chose to grace her fit with a large bow. In some ways, this bow acts as a partition, but we believe its true purpose is to draw attention to the dress’ remarkable strapped top. The straps are intricately designed to cover up most of the celebrity’s chest but still leave a little bit of skin if its owner is feeling cheeky.

To cement that this outfit is a showstopper, Simone added a purple line coat as her final accessory.

See the amazing outfit for yourself here.

Her fans loved this fit as they believe their favorite celebrity was paying homage to her Bridgerton character, Kate Sharma. To show her some love, they filled her comments section with purple hearts.

By the looks of it, the flood of purple hearts won’t cease until the season 2 premiere of the Netflix original series. Before you head on over to Simone’s Instagram to drop a heart as well, we want to tell you a little more about Simone Ashley’s Bridgerton character.

Who is Bridgerton’s Kate Sharma?

In Bridgerton season 2, Simone Ashley plays a character named Kate Sharma. According to the Bridgerton Fandom page, she’s the new girl in town. Though adamant about her independence, Kate winds up as the love interest of the most charming bachelor in all of London, Anthony Bridgerton.

Read her character description here:

"Newly arrived in London, Kate is a smart, headstrong young woman who suffers no fools — Anthony Bridgerton very much included. Kate is equal parts headstrong and whip-smart. Her sharp wit and independent nature make her a singular force on the 1814 marriage mart, where she hopes to secure a love match for her younger sister, Edwina."

And since you’re already here, you might as well check out Kate Sharma in the official trailer for season 2 below.

Will she let love pass her by or will she bend to the power of love? We’ll have to tune in to the new season to find out, but with Simone being the actress behind the dynamic character, we know it’ll be well worth the wait.

We hope you are as excited as we are to see Simone Ashely star in her new role. If so, be sure to catch Bridgerton season 2 streaming Friday, March 25 only on Netflix!
