Simone Ashley is the latest in a growing list of stars to turn to Central Saint Martins’s Macy Grimshaw. And it’s no wonder why.
Last month, the London-based emerging designer made headlines when her “Paper Doll” look found its way to Harry Styles’s Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally album art. The placement felt inevitable, given her long-established working relationship with the man behind Styles’s wardrobe—Harry Lambert—and her growing list of celebrity endorsements spanning PinkPantheress, Emma Corrin, and Lola Young. Still, for a student wrapping up her Master’s degree, the opportunity could only be described as “insane.”
Now, Ashley has joined in on the fun. Working with stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, the actor selected a teal-blue silk slip for her trip to London, where she spent the past week promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
Printed with the image of a red slip, the piece offered a dress-on-dress inception moment. Red spaghetti straps blurred into printed ones, creating an illusion bound to have your head spinning back around for a double take.
Ashley wore the dress with chunky silver earrings and deep royal-blue heels. She pulled her hair back into a high ponytail and gave her cheeks a bit of rosy blush. A couple of sunflowers in hand were the perfect finishing touch.
For the rest of the London press tour, Ashley wore vintage Thierry Mugler, Versace, and Jil Sander looks, as well as Issey Miyake and Marni pieces from the Fall 2026 season. It’s safe to say Grimshaw was in good company.
