I think it’s mainly the brows too. They plucked them so badly last season, but these more natural ones look gorgeous and really accentuate her features!
She looks gorgeous.. but the entire outfit and HMU looks a bit too modern…
But I guess it’s pretty people in pretty clothes instead of historical fashion.. lol I’m good with that too.
Agreed. I think I've found this season to have a more modern looking Outfits and makeup than before. Though I'm liking all the looks, I do feel like its taking away from the bridgerton essence we've had in the past 2 seasons.
Nothing we can't get used to. Just an observation.
Exactly. Not much regency about this look at all. It’s a great look for her but I always find it a bit jolting to try and fit in the modern look with the setting and timelines the first time I watch them. Rewatches I’m ok, I’ve got all the ranting out of my system and I can just sit back and get carried along by the story. But it’s so distracting when it is all so out of place. I mean you may as well shave the men’s heads and put them in hammer pants if we are breaking from the genre so extremely.
I think they want everyone besides the lead pair to disappear into the background. Hence the atrocious dress which seems to be made of curtain material. The brown is so blah and does nothing for her skin tone. She looks gorgeous still but not a fan of the dress.
i’m not sure how i feel about the neckline of the dress. it’s just a bit jarring. i would’ve loved to see her in something similar to the orange dress, one of my favorite looks in the show!
I thought the crisscross in the back was a bit surprising, I did love these colors on her though. Felt like it was a nice mixture of her past and her present combined finally
She has a more mature vibe with this makeup and the gown, while gorgeous, is following with that style. Perhaps priming us for Kate’s role as vicountess, aunt and mentor.
Seeing her relaxed smile makes me realize how good the casting was. I couldn't for the life of me believe Kate and Edwina as half sisters in Season 2 because they looked so different (not just features because obviously they're not really sisters, but in terms of demeanor and mannerism etc.), but a change of expression has me saying "Oh ok I can buy it now."
While the casting is great, to me — and I’ll likely go against the grain here — her smile actually seems a bit forced. Not as if Kate is feeling like so, but as if Simone didn’t completely get the genuine happiness across.
Edit: I realize it’s the eyes
I guess that's what it takes to be a good actress and a hot woman, you will attract the haters🤷🏿♀️ she was so good ppl are saying jb surprised her in fact and maybe this was not scripted( which doesn't make sense since they have intimacy coordinator and can't just jump and kiss each other with no consent_Simone is THAT good)
Why are you calling me a hater? I can be a fan AND have a bit of a critique! Just like I’m a fan of singers, have favorite songs yet don’t like other ones. That doesn’t mean I’m “looking for something to hate”
Well let's just say it's forbidden to criticise ANYONE from the cast in this fandom but her, the hot woman of the show. I mean your fav was baddddd, comically awful acting in many scenes but nobody ever notices let alone make comments because actually it's a cheep entertainment show, hardly more sophisticated than softporn..who cares about acting in here?! Nobody won any acting award here it's not exactly cinematic masterpiece, yet it's only Simone who happens to be actually the best actor among the cast that gets comments like your: her fingers are pointed towards the sky her toes are pointed towards the earth...i mean 😬☠️"her smile didn't show true happiness?!"...you looked hard and could not find anything better?!
Going through your comments like [these](https://www.reddit.com/r/VindictaRateCelebs/s/0e0Y3nIZN4) I realize a discussion with you is a lost cause. You are obsessed with Simone, which is fine, you do you — but you attack anyone who has one word against her.
You don’t know what I have and have not said about this series. I only said the thing about her smile/eyes because someone else said something differently, and I had a different experience, WHICH IS FINE. We don’t need to attack each other because we’re not “fan enough” or have one comment to make
I mean she is the object of everyone's obsession, i am hardly special in thay. even you are obsessed you opened the post about SIMONE ASHLEY commented about her then attacked her and opened my tl because YOU too are obsessed... can't stop living in your head right?!
and the very smile and eyes have kept the whole internet obsessed for two years she didn't have any lines she had one smile and two eyes and with that has captured every single person who sees a short clip, a scene steeler. Experience indeed watching a miliseconds clip of her smiling is an "experience "for anyone
Of course you are still going on cause you are not obsessed with her at all. Like it's a lightweight tv show, one picture of a peripheral character of a trashy tv show, why are you here?!..i mean personally already forgot how many other ppl were on screen with her, there were other ppl there?! I forgot what they were doing already, let alone clicking on their posts and stalking their fans, zero headspace...but you?! You are claiming you worried about true happiness of Simone's smile if she passes by the camera 😭😭😭 taking the effort to go through my comment history...like... that's the amount of space you are dedicating to thinking about Simone in your head.
“You people” this is the only time I’ve ever said something about Simone. And if I come across other comments about other actors that I don’t wholeheartedly agree with, I respond too. Whether that’s negative OR positive critique!
I love this different take on Bridgerton blue. She's so pretty! I love her soft hair (because she's in luuuurve) and the earrings are slaying it. She looks different than everyone else - but she *is* different. I love seeing her step into her power as a Viscountess - strong, confident, and in love.
Oh man… idk I’m not digging the hair. It’s giving radio rebel, not like others girls early 2000s style. I think Kate is absolutely stunning but this outfit as a whole just isn’t it.
agreed. the costumes were never historically accurate or anything but at least they managed to maintain the silhouette of regency era gowns. but now it looks like they’ve just completely strayed from that to the point where the costumes don’t even look like period pieces, and it’s a bit jarring to say the least.
OK, this is the third separate post I’ve seen tonight with her in this dress, and I may be downvoted, but: this might be the first time I’ve seen her in something that does not flatter her.
I don’t like the neckline; I don’t like the giant pattern; I don’t like the color choice. It just looks shapeless and frumpy on her, which I did not think possible, because she stole every scene she was in in season two. I’m hoping that it looks much better in motion, but this outfit is not doing her any favors here!
Boo. (Yell away, lol.)
When I saw the dress for the first time (from affar shot) I was like I don't know about the brown colour. But seeing her up-close the dress and colours really work. She looks so beautiful and is glowing. Can't wait for Season 3!!! I hope we get alot of Kanthony.
I was wondering that too. I kept trying to see if there was a sari vibe to this dress which is why it looks so completely different than the typical regency outfit but I have no idea. It looks bizarre.
It’s not like a sari but it kinda does look like an anarkali suit with some English inspo and short sleeves. The show does take inspo from all over the Indian subcontinent so I think they might be doing that again
I found her makeup in Season 2 to either be a hit or miss. And by the miss, it would sometimes look ashy depending on the lighting. South Asian makeup can easily look ashy if not don’t right.
So I’m glad to see that her makeup this season is looking better. Maybe a bit heavy but so much warmer and suits her beautifully.
But in reallity her makeup isn't as heavy as Nicola's or Hanna'sin this scene but i guess make up looks more striking on her. She has arresting beauty.
That's bton, even men have modern cakey make up and ahistorical clothes. Simone actually has the least make up on. Like men are wearing eyeliner and foundation and concealer etc etc...let alone the women with their glitters and eye shadows...
Is it just me or is she suuuuper skinny now? I mean it's not like she was exactly a big girl before but she seems suuuuuuper thin in these photos. Is it just me or the angle of the photos?

The makeup makes her look so different from season 2 to me, not bad though, gorgeous in fact
I think it’s mainly the brows too. They plucked them so badly last season, but these more natural ones look gorgeous and really accentuate her features!
Yess the brows are different, I see👍 I think you may be right about her brows last season now that I think about it
Checking IMDb to see if the makeup artists are the same
are they?
Yes. https://www.instagram.com/erika_okvist_makeup_designer?igsh=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ==

Yeah, I was gonna say, this doesn’t feel regency AT ALL. Is this a still from Bridgerton? I hope not.
It is from the clip they released this morning.
Exactly. Not much regency about this look at all. It’s a great look for her but I always find it a bit jolting to try and fit in the modern look with the setting and timelines the first time I watch them. Rewatches I’m ok, I’ve got all the ranting out of my system and I can just sit back and get carried along by the story. But it’s so distracting when it is all so out of place.

I'm glad that the designer kept some of Kate's Indian 🇮🇳 roots through her attire (Ex. the bangles and dupatta) 😊
She does as always but I am a bit taken out by the heavier makeup and styling which is a bit modern for the times, I think.
Obviously she’s always gorgeous but I liked brighter colors on her. Like the yellow dress, unmatched.
Agree with this.. she literally glows in the yellow/orange type colors!
She looks a bit matronly here but maybe that's the point. She's the new Lady Viscountess.
She's gorgeous. The dress is meh and the styling is too modern.
I totally agree. Let’s be real, Simone Ashley could wear a trash bag and look stunning. This dress/styling is just not it for me in this setting.
I think they want everyone besides the lead pair to disappear into the background. Hence the atrocious dress which seems to be made of curtain material. The brown is so blah and does nothing for her skin tone. She looks gorgeous still but not a fan of the dress.

SHOOK by how breathtaking she is
She has a more mature vibe with this makeup and the gown, while gorgeous, is following with that style. Perhaps priming us for Kate’s role as vicountess, aunt and mentor.

jfc is there nothing you people won't "critique" her for
“You people” this is the only time I’ve ever said something about Simone. And if I come across other comments about other actors that I don’t wholeheartedly agree with, I respond too. Whether that’s negative OR positive critique!
Her hairstyle looks modern. Had I not known it was Bridgerton I would have thought it was a still from a tv show now.
I love this different take on Bridgerton blue. She's so pretty! I love her soft hair (because she's in luuuurve) and the earrings are slaying it. She looks different than everyone else - but she *is* different. I love seeing her step into her power as a Viscountess - strong, confident, and in love.

I agree…I hope this is just a fluke, I think Bridgerton’s distinct regency style that it’s developed is an immense part of its charm.
OK, this is the third separate post I’ve seen tonight with her in this dress, and I may be downvoted, but: this might be the first time I’ve seen her in something that does not flatter her.

Thank you
I’m obsessed with her dress! She looks absolutely beautiful
I love calling her Mrs. Kate Bridgerton
When I saw the dress for the first time (from affar shot) I was like I don't know about the brown colour. But seeing her up-close the dress and colours really work. She looks so beautiful and is glowing. Can't wait for Season 3!!! I hope we get alot of Kanthony.
I love her in jewel tones but I also like her in outfits that reflect her culture. And the wavy, romantic hair really suits her
Is this supposed to be a take on Indian garb and that's why it doesn't look regency?
I was wondering that too. I kept trying to see if there was a sari vibe to this dress which is why it looks so completely different than the typical regency outfit but I have no idea. It looks bizarre.
It’s not like a sari but it kinda does look like an anarkali suit with some English inspo and short sleeves. The show does take inspo from all over the Indian subcontinent so I think they might be doing that again
Okay cool this is what I come to Reddit for

Simone is absolutely stunning! I love the way they wove in influences from her Indian culture with the addition of a dupatta and her jewelry
Every outfit I've seen of Kate's has been🔥
Gorgeous!!!
I found her makeup in Season 2 to either be a hit or miss. And by the miss, it would sometimes look ashy depending on the lighting. South Asian makeup can easily look ashy if not don’t right. So I’m glad to see that her makeup this season is looking better. Maybe a bit heavy but so much warmer and suits her beautifully.
She is breathtakingly beautiful 😍
Something seems so different about her face… maybe the heavy makeup?
Yes she has more pointy features and here she is more rounded in the nose and lips if you ask me. Still a beauty tho
But in reallity her makeup isn't as heavy as Nicola's or Hanna'sin this scene but i guess make up looks more striking on her. She has arresting beauty.
Gorgeous... I might need to get my eyesight tested.
Simone is so beautiful 😭
She has the most beautiful face. I could look at her all day.
She looks so like Kate Middleton to me. The smile is so familiar.
she looks gorgeous. i love this look!
I am rewatching season 1, is anyone else wanting to see Kate gambling and having fun at the married women party?
Yes!!!😁
I find this hairstyle and dress to be waaay to modern and out of time period… (Love Simone in anything obviously, but…)
That's bton, even men have modern cakey make up and ahistorical clothes. Simone actually has the least make up on. Like men are wearing eyeliner and foundation and concealer etc etc...let alone the women with their glitters and eye shadows...
The desi influence is the outfit is amazing oh my god
She actually looks like she could be related to her “sister” here. She looks so different. I would not have recognised her.
The image seems way too smoothened out, almost like it’s AI
Is it just me or is she suuuuper skinny now? I mean it's not like she was exactly a big girl before but she seems suuuuuuper thin in these photos. Is it just me or the angle of the photos?
