C'mon, she's a trooper: Braving a minor setback in the Formula 1 film "F1" (hitting theaters June 26), actress Simone Ashley, 30, showcased an undeniable elegance and swagger at the London premiere, helmed by Joseph Kosinski, 51. She stole the spotlight in a bold, gilded Balmain gown, featuring a modern halter neckline, an A-line silhouette, and eye-catching, three-dimensional embellishments reminiscent of racing stripes. She paired her look with sleek Jimmy Choo sandals and dazzling gold earrings, setting the stage for pole position style!
A pure underdog tale! Originally, Ashley was slated to race alongside leading man Brad Pitt, 61. In previous interviews with "Elle," Ashley dished on her "very small part" in the adrenaline-pumping racing movie[3].
Behind the scenes, director Kosinski revealed to "People" that Ashley's role unfortunately didn't make it to the endgame[4]. He acknowledges that cuts are inevitable in filmmaking, as they often film more content than can be accommodated[1][2]. Despite the cut, Ashley remains cheerful about the experience, while Kosinski speaks highly of her talent and hopes to collaborate in the future[1][2].
