Simone Ashley turned heads as she modeled Burberry and Hunza G's new swimwear collection, flaunting her incredible figure in skimpy bikinis. The 31-year-old Bridgerton actress showcased her jaw-dropping physique in a strapless red two-piece while posing on the sand. She also left little to the imagination in a thigh-high black swimming costume for the shoot.
Collaboration Between British Brands
British labels Burberry and Hunza G have joined forces on a swimwear capsule launching in summer 2026, united by a commitment to material innovation. The collection features signature Hunza G silhouettes in Original Crinkle ultra-stretch fabric, rendered in iconic Burberry colors with Burberry Check trims.
Burberry Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee noted, "There's a natural connection between Burberry and Hunza G as British brands. Our approach to material and craft is shaped by a relationship to the elements – pieces you can wear in and out of the water."
Georgiana Huddart, Hunza G founder and Creative Director, added, "Hunza G has always been about making women feel their most confident. Bringing that together with the heritage of Burberry felt natural, to create something special that feels effortless. That's always been the goal."
The Burberry x Hunza G swimwear capsule will be available online and in selected stores worldwide from April 27.
Simone Ashley's Personal Life and Career
Last December, it was reported that Simone had split from her businessman boyfriend Tim Sykes just months after their romance began. In September, the pair were seen locking lips at the US Open in New York.
Simone, born in England to Indian Tamil parents, is also known for her role in Netflix's Sex Education. Her past roles include supporting parts in Broadchurch and The Sister, but she has lately been establishing herself as a film star. After small roles in Detective Pikachu and Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid, she made a cameo as herself in Brad Pitt's racing drama F1 and was spotted filming an unspecified part in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Simone, who played Kate Sharma in Bridgerton, has expressed her loyalty to the period drama, saying she would "clear" her schedule if bosses ever want her to return. Speaking on The Louis Theroux podcast, she explained, "I think he set a great example of loyalty to the show. It is a show about family and returning home, and I think a lot of people follow that suit. I particularly learned a lot from that example. And now when we go back, there is that environment of coming home and feeling like we're part of a family."
