Simone Ashley Wears Westwood Corset Gown at Cannes 2025 • CelebMafia

Simone Ashley made a confident Cannes return in Vivienne Westwood’s Spring 2025 corset gown, paired with Messika jewels and Aquazzura white pumps.

Simone Ashley stepped onto the Cannes red carpet on May 23, 2025, with the sort of confidence only a true fashion comeback commands. Attending The Mastermind premiere as a L’Oréal ambassador, the British actress wore a Vivienne Westwood gown that was less about nostalgia and more about reinvention.

Pulled from the house’s Spring 2025 Mumbai runway, the “Gateway of India” dress drew from Westwood’s iconic corset structure—but evolved. Think: a sculptural bodice cinched within an inch of precision, a pannier-style skirt nodding to 18th-century drama, and a romanticism that read more Old Bombay glamour than Old Hollywood.

Her styling was meticulous: Messika’s “Born to Be Wild” rings—stacked and serpentine—brought edge, while the Diamond Catcher earrings in white gold added polish without overpowering. White Voile Pumps by Aquazzura grounded the look with quiet elegance.

This wasn’t about theatrics; it was about reclaiming narrative. After previous red carpet outings sparked mixed reviews, this was Simone saying, “Watch me now”—and it worked.
