Simone Ashley Wore Thierry Mugler To ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ London Premiere

Simone Ashley was once again first on the red carpet for the London premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 held in Leicester Square this evening.

The British actress opted for an archive Thierry Mugler Resort 1984 dress, sourced from Era London, and the impact was immediate. The hot pink satin – likely a silk-satin or silk-taffeta blend, both signatures of Mugler at the time – delivers a high-shine finish that feels bold and unapologetic. The sharp neckline, and sculpted, draped skirt, feed into that unmistakable Mugler silhouette.

What stands out most is how fresh this feels, not in a modern sense, more in the of way the colour and vibrancy.

Despite the dress dating back to the mid-’80s, it reads vintage, but not dated. The structure, the colour, the attitude; it all lands, proving once again why Mugler’s archive continues to resonate on today’s red carpets.

The slightly creased, crushed texture of the fabric is noticeable, but it feels in keeping with the material itself. Whether that’s down to the nature of the silk or simply how these fabrics wear over time, it doesn’t take away from the overall effect.

Matching pink pumps and TASAKI Jewellery completed her look.

Minor quibbles aside, I much prefer this over her Prada look for the world premiere. This feels worthy of the occasion.

Stylist: Rebecca Corbin-Murray.
