British Vogue presents One Day with Simone Ashley. Simone Ashley is not any stranger to rom-coms, in any case, British Vogue’s December 2022 cover star did play Bridgerton’s ravishing leading lady (Kate Sharma) in Bridgerton Season 2 — opposite the smouldering Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton). Kate & Anthony’s will-they-won’t-they romance incorporates all of the classic tropes of the beloved genre: a memorable meet cute, love triangles, a runaway bride, and a swoon-worthy denouement.

So, what happened once we asked Simone Ashley to play a textbook rom-com heroine for a day? The reply involves nods to the whole lot from Notting Hill and Bridget Jones’ Diary to Love Actually — plus a really festive cameo. Watch the complete episode on British Vogue to see what number of iconic rom-com references you’ll be able to spot.
