Simone Ashley‘s latest
look
was
the
object
of
all
our
desires.
Although
a
black
flag
was
waved
on
the
actress’
larger
F1
storyline,
leaving
her
with
a
non-speaking
role,
it
didn’t
stop
her
from
being
the
diamond
of
the
film’s
European
premiere
in
London.
Indeed,
Simone
dazzled
as
she
arrived
on
the
red
carpet
June
23
in
an
all-gold
Balmain
FW25
gown
featuring
peplum
detailing
on
the
waist
and
fitted
pencil
skirt,
as
well
as
an
all-over
crocodile-patterned
embossing.
The
Bridgerton
star’s
appearance
comes
one
week
after
F1
director
Joseph
Kosinski
explained
that
reducing
her
role
in
film—starring
Brad
Pitt,
Damson
Idris,
Kerry
Condon
and
more—wasn’t
an
uncommon
move.
“It
happens
on
every
film,
where
you
have
to
shoot
more
than
you
can
use,”
he
told
People
of
the
decision—which
garnered
online
backlash
from
fans—June
16. “There
were
two
or
three
storylines
that
ultimately
didn’t
make
it
into
the
final
cut.”
