Simone Ashley is a real life mermaid.
Ashley, 30, showed off her bikini body while escaping the cold and trading in for a beach vacation. In a series of pics, which she shared via Instagram on Saturday, December 27, the Bridgerton star left little to the imagination while slaying in a crochet bikini featuring yellow floral cups and thin straps.
She teamed the piece with glitter-flecked bottoms that wrapped around her hips and tied in a bow. Ashley further accessorized with dainty gold hoop earrings.
Ashley displayed her natural glow while beaming for the camera by going au naturel. She wore her brunette hair down and parted down the middle.
She also rocked another stellar design while soaking up the sun, opting for a black-and-white striped bikini adorned with bright red tomatoes. Ashley styled the number, which came equipped with pearl embellishments, with a shell necklace, black shades and a baby blue bucket hat.
“🇦🇺🩵,” she captioned the post. Her celebrity friends and fans complimented her in the comments section.
“BEEEEAAAUUUTYYYYY 😍,” wrote designer Jermey Scott. A fan added, “Happy Holidays, Simone! You are the ultimate beach babe 😍👙🐚🩷💛💚🏖️✨.” A second follower added, “A doll, a mermaid, a princess! Always beautiful🌞🌊🩷.”

Ashley previously showed off her bikini body in December 2024 while enjoying a tropical getaway. She sizzled in an ethereal set featuring a black triangle top adorned with 3-D florals and beads between her cups as she relaxed during a day at the beach. Her top was finished with halter straps. The actress styled the number with low-waisted bottoms that came equipped with more beads on her hips.
Ashley accessorized her look with rectangular sunglasses. She went makeup-free and parted her mane down the side while letting her waves flow in the wind.
Ashley also shared a pic of herself smiling at a dolphin that swam next to a boat she was on. She even swam with sea turtles and spotted a baby bird.
“Dolphins, baby birds, turtles, fishies!🐬 🐣 🐢 🐠 🐡 ☀️,” she captioned the post.
Prior to showing off her bikini body, Ashley previously opened up about her workout routine while chatting with Vogue in May 2024.
“I swear by reformer Pilates — I was introduced to it a few years ago — and I’m a massive runner, I run all the time,” she told the publication. “For Pilates, I go to the Alo studios when I’m in the States and it’s one of the best workouts I’ve done in my life.”
She added, “It’s a very mindful and thoughtful exercise. Sometimes it’s the minimal movements that are the most powerful. For women, it’s great because it connects you to your pelvic floor, plus it gives you a full awareness of your body.”
Ashley noted that “whenever” she has a red carpet coming up, she exercises even more. “If I work out lots I feel less depressed and generally happier,” she said. “And I feel like the best version of myself.”
