The Bridgerton star, Simone Ashley, in a recent interview with W magazine, opened up about her role in the film The Devil Wears Prada 2. The actress spent last summer living the kind of life “a million girls would kill for.” Simone Ashley played as Amari, the new first assistant to Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, taking on the role that Emily Blunt first made so famous. According to reports from W magazine, “Ashley moved across the Atlantic for the shoot, and in the gaps between call times, was in the studio writing what would become Songs I Wrote in New York, her debut EP, released last month.”
“I had the best summer of my life, she said. Further, the actress said, “It’s not hard to understand why. Like for so many Millennials, The Devil Wears Prada was a fixture of the 31-year-old’s childhood: “one of the movies I would watch a few times a year, at least,” she says. And hence, finding out that they were making a sequel, let alone that she’d been cast in it, was ‘life-changing’ for the actress.
Recently, the Bridgerton actress took to her social media and shared some behind-the-scenes moments from her latest film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, captioning the post as ‘Ride of a lifetime’, leaving fans in absolute awe. In the pictures, we can see the actress sharing multiple moments from the set of the film. In one of them, she can be seen having an ice cream, while in some of the others, she can be seen flaunting the beautiful outfits she wore while shooting for the film.
