Combing her locks into loose curls, the actress accessorized her look with a pair of gold hoops.

Looking in good spirits as she posed for the camera, Simone completed her look with a light palette of makeup.

Simone plays Kate Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama and, before that, was best known for her role as Olivia Hanan in Sex Education.

The third installment of the Bridgerton series, Part 2, arrived on Netflix on Thursday and picked up right where fans left off with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).

Kate Bridgerton (Simone) and her husband Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), who directed the second season, appeared frequently.

Although Part 2 featured a six-minute sex scene, some fans still weren’t impressed.

Fans returned to the first series when Nicola, 37, stripped completely naked in front of her future husband.

But you will be disappointed to watch and discover that there is not much more to come.

And while VarietyAramide Timudu called the scene “the sexiest things seen on television since the first series of Bridgerton,” the Evening Standard Vicky Jessop felt the long-awaited regency game left a little to be desired.

“This is not torrid,” he said. “Watching it feels like watching two teenagers fumbling their way through an awkward grip.”

Critics’ opinions on the second part were largely limited to episodes five and six, with Netflix saving the final two for its main release on Thursday.

Vicky gave the second part a damning two-star review and asked: ‘Is Bridgerton losing its touch?’

Critics’ opinions on the third part of the Bridgerton series

Evening Standard

Classification:

Vicky Jessop: ‘This is not exciting. Watching it feels like watching two teenagers fumbling their way through an awkward grip. Is Bridgerton losing her touch? Francesca’s love story with Lord John Stirling is worth a nap: all those painful silences! Yes, we get it, they’re shy!’

The Telegraph

Classification:

Anita Singh: ‘However, apart from Penelope’s heaving chest, this third series remains a failure. Her extended sex scene with Colin has a cringe-inducing quality: think EL James’s Fifty Shades with all the terrible dialogue but none of the nipple clamps. Apart from the main couple, the plot barely exists.’

The independent

Classification:

Kate Rosseinsky: “The wheels are starting to come off the Bridgerton carriage, and the final two episodes will have to be pretty dramatic to get things back on track.”

The Daily Mail

Classification:

Christopher Stevens: ‘Stars Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton have been promising for weeks that this time, in two newly released episodes, Bridgerton goes all the way. And they weren’t lying…although, for such an explicit sex scene, she was also strangely chaste.’

The times

Classification:

Carol Midgley: ‘I call Bridgerton the “toffs, t**s and titles” show, but another T-word comes into play here: cuteness. Coughlan’s aforementioned breasts should get some kind of award for all the jiggling they cause. My God, in those dresses they go up and down like a pair of airbags.

Variety

Aramide Timudu: “The main sex scene between Polin involving a full-length mirror and a sun lounger is one of the sexiest things seen on television since Bridgerton season 1. Fans may still complain about the lack of sensual activity in the screen, but this mirror section is absolutely intoxicating and beautifully done.”
