From vintage petticoats to sexy modern gowns, Simone Ashley can rock just about anything. On season 2 of Bridgerton, we all fell in love with her character Kate Sharma’s bold spirit and elegant dresses. Now, actress Ashley is proving that she’s well on her way to becoming a household name for not only her acting chops, but her IRL style as well! The rising star, 27, just donned a skintight, white, ab-baring midi cut-out dress for her appearance on The Ellen Show last week and paired her show-stopping item with sky-high stiletto heels.

The stunner, who also stars on another major Netflix show, Sex Education, added sparkling silver dangly earrings as her main accessory. She wore her long, black locks down and styled into tousled curls with a deep side part. Her makeup was powered by smoky, glowing purple eyeshadow, a mauve full lip and radiant blush.

Ashley sat down with Ellen guest hosts Tiffany Haddish and tWitch to discuss the hugely popular second season of Bridgerton and her instantly iconic character. “I like the fact that she [Kate] wasn’t a people pleaser, and she wasn’t afraid to be opinionated and controversial, break the rules a little bit,” she told the hosts about the beloved literary character she portrayed. “I mean she was there to protect her sister and I wanted to stay true to that throughout the whole story,” she added. “So, yeah, I really liked that.”
