Regarding Simone's bright red Armani Privé look, it features a strapless wraparound tube top and a matching high-waist skirt. While the top accentuated Simone's décolletage and featured gold and black rod embellishments on the back, the bottoms enhanced her svelte frame and had a straight fitting.

Simone accessorised the red outfit with a choker diamond necklace, matching ear studs, rings, high heels, and a black clutch. A sleek updo, subtle smoky eye shadow, black winged eyeliner, nude lip shade, defined brows, highlighter, and a hint of blush completed the star's glam picks.

Meanwhile, Netflix has renewed Bridgerton for the third season. The filming for season 3 has begun, and it will focus on Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton's (Luke Newton) love story.
