Nude sex scene, season 2 episode 8 (0:46)
Here’s that season 2 finale moment again, in its proper place. Kate and Anthony finally stop fighting it: he moves over her in the canopy bed, she pulls him closer, and the camera lingers on bare skin and flushed faces. Simone Ashley nude in Bridgerton (2022), episode 8, worth a second look.
Love scene, season 2 episode 7 (0:58)
The night Bridgerton fans waited a whole season for. In season 2, episode 7 (2022), Anthony tugs at Kate’s white bodice and Simone Ashley sinks back onto the embroidered cushions in her chemise, eyes closed and gasping as his hands roam. A dark, candle-warm sex scene full of tension finally let go.

Behind the scenes of the Pirelli shoot (0:40)
Simone Ashley shot the Pirelli Calendar 2025, and this behind-the-scenes clip shows why they wanted her. She poses in a barely-there nude-tone swimsuit in the studio, then sits in the shallow sea with wet hair and lies back on the sand, totally at ease. Pure glamour and plenty of skin.

A rare one from before she was famous. In L’ispettore Coliandro (2017), a 22-year-old Simone Ashley plays Veena, a fighter with bruises on her arm, and she kisses the battered inspector topless, pressing herself against his leather jacket. Short, intense and a real collector’s clip.

This Tempting Madness (2026) puts Simone Ashley in blue lace lingerie, and I’m not complaining. As Mia she wraps herself around her husband Jake by a big sunny window, kisses him, then drapes herself across the bed in that bra, holding a little pink heart. Lingerie and flirting, no nudity.

Underwear and face tape, season 2 episode 3 (0:24)
The strangest foreplay in Moordale. In Sex Education season 2, episode 3 (2020), Simone Ashley’s Olivia and her shirtless boyfriend kneel on the bed in their underwear with tape stuck across their faces, grinning, then lean in for a kiss. Funny, a bit sexy, orange underwear and no nudity.
