Simone Ashley brought a burst of classic style to the 2023 Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic.
The “Bridgerton” star made a bright arrival to the event at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey on Saturday, wearing a tonal green tweed minidress. Hailing from Valentino, Ashley’s $4,200 dress featured short sleeves and a rounded neckline, all with smooth white trim for a retro finish. A whimsically practical touch was added with two trimmed front pockets, each topped with gleaming gold “V” logos.
Ashley’s outfit was smoothly finished with small gold hoop earrings and black cat-eye sunglasses, as well as Valentino’s white $2,890 Rockstud shoulder bag: a matte leather flap-style handbag with a curved shoulder strap, accented by monochrome white pyramid stud trim.

During the occasion, Ashley also mingled with friends and associated including Veuve Clicquot president Jean-Marc Gallot and “Black Panther” star Danai Gurira.
When it came to footwear, Ashley laced into a pair of ankle-wrapped Valentino sandals to complete her outfit with a summery edge. The actress’ $980 Rockstud Polymer style featured smooth dusky pink leather uppers with rounded toes, complete with short 0.6-inch heels for a subtle height boost. Her set gained a slick finish, however, with its detailed toe, slingback and wraparound ankle straps: clear polymer strips with leather trim, all lined in gleaming platinum-hued pyramid studs. The pair brought a sharp finish to Ashley’s chic attire for the occasion, while still remaining dynamic in their own right.
The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic celebrated the start of summer with a polo match at Liberty State Park. Sponsored by Veuve Clicquot champagne, the 2023 event featured lawn picnics and Veuve-themed VIP tents. The occasion also drew a range of celebrity guests, including Emma Stone, Nicky Hilton, Gayle King, Lara Eurdolian, Patrick Janelle, Danai Gurira and Simone Ashley.
