London Fashion Week may have come to a close, but Simone Ashley and Jodie Turner-Smith turned the capital into their own catwalk while heading to a Bentley event on Tuesday.
The Bridgerton star cut a glamorous figure in a low-cut champagne gown as she headed into the capital for her night out at the Bentley Torcal launch party, which celebrated the release of the famous brand's first ever electric car.
Simone headed out for the night in the lustrous £1,190 16Arlington gown with a halterneck and an elegant silhouette.
Jodie put on her own dramatic display in a bold black and red striped coat, teamed with heeled black leather boots.
Chef Florence Knight curated the evening's menu served with Billecart-Salmon Le Réserve, and soundtracking the night were two of London’s most distinctive music industry stars: Femi Koleoso, drummer and co-founder of Mercury Prize-winning Ezra Collective; and DJ, broadcaster and cultural curator Zezi Ifore.
Simone rose to fame with her role in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, and earlier this year she starred in the sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The actress recently shared that despite a long list of acting roles already, she would be open to playing a Bond Girl if bosses came calling.
Posing for a stunning shoot with ELLE UK, Simone shared that she would like to find a 'delicious' TV show to star in but wouldn't turn down an offer from Bond bosses to follow in the footsteps of stars such as Rosamund Pike and Halle Berry.
The iconic spy film series is currently trying to land a new star to play 007, as Amazon MGM begins work on a new film after purchasing the rights last year.
She said: 'I would, yeah. If it happens, it happens! I'm not going to talk about it.
'I definitely want to do more movies and find a really delicious TV show to get into. I'd love to do an action movie. Something fantasy, maybe.'
The star also shared that she is hoping to find love and have a family in the future, after being spotted with her new boyfriend Jay Jammal.
She added: 'I definitely want to have my own family and I'd love to find my person. I have all my dreams and ambitions for my career and that will live on, and I trust that when the time is right the other parts of my personal life will find their way, too.
'I don't put pressure on anything. I believe in the right person at the right time – someone who's kind and has similar ambitions and dreams.

'That doesn't have to be career-wise – I think you can have very different ambitions and dreams, but just an understanding and support between them.'
Speaking about her role as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton, Simone added: 'It changed my life and, without it, I wouldn't be where I am.
'That show reached near and far. Even in the places you don't think you'll get recognised, you do.
'Whenever it finishes, it's going to be the end of an era. I think they have about four or five more siblings to get through. I'm in it till the end!'
