The actress grounded her ensemble with metallic slingback pumps from the Italian luxury brand. The silver pair featured a pointed toe and the label’s triangular name-bearing logo on the vamp.
Meanwhile, Ashley’s satiny chartreuse dress was a custom Prada design, featuring a high-low design with a thigh-cut hemline in front and a floor-grazing train in back. The dress was also strapless while the silhouette narrowed at the waist.

Ashley was cast in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” as Amari, the current first assistant to Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, played by Streep.
Like her costars, Ashley has dressed up in a number of eye-catching footwear styles amid promotion of the film. On Friday alone in New York last week, she stepped out in five shoe looks including Christian Louboutin Miss Z sandals, Puma Speedcat sneakers, Dior Initials pumps, Jimmy Choo Love pumps and Fidan Novruzova Tall Iman boots.
In an interview with WWD ahead of the world premiere, Ashley likened herself to a sponge on the set of the film.
