Ciara and Simone Ashley bring star power to NFL sidelines
The Bridgerton actress brought her signature style to the stadium.
Dressed in a cream white two-piece outfit, she blended casual, sophisticated, and daring fashion with ease.
The standout feature was the sheer fabric at the hem of both the shirt and skirt, adding a clever twist to an otherwise understated look.
Simone was joined by chart-topping singer Ciara, 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.
Ciara wore a red, white, and blue football jersey emblazoned with her husband Russell Wilson's number, according to Si Lifestyle.
The New York Giants clinched a 31-12 win against the New York Jets, making the experience even more memorable for Ashley.
The two made more than just a glamorous appearance. Later, they shared a moment of friendship over pasta, echoing classic Lady and the Tramp vibes.
This camaraderie is important to Simone Ashley, who has spoken openly about the value she places on her close-knit circle of friends.
'My friends would describe me as clumsy and kind,' she told Harper's Bazaar UK. 'One of my best friends is always like, 'Go sure, you're my Bridget Jones.' I embrace the chaos.'
The 30-year-old actress added, 'I love my friends. They are the best things in my life. I always want to be as kind to them as they are to me.'
Ciara's inclusion in Simone's close circle excites many fans, who hope the friendship will lead to even more fun moments.
One admirer commented, 'Love this duo,' while another joked, 'You're about to meet your husband, Ashley.'
With Simone now filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York, it's likely she might appear at more Giants or Jets games soon. The energy, the fashion, and the friendships all promise exciting things ahead.

Chippa United dismantle technical team, three coaches sacked!
Chippa United chairman Siviwe Mpengesi is at it again, firing three members of his technical team after just one game. Interim coach Musa Nyatama, goalkeeper coach Thembalethu Moses and analyst Prinil Deen have all been sacked. This follows Chippa United's 4-1 loss to TS Galaxy on Tuesday where Nyatama led the team on the bench. The game also marked the first without Sinethemba Badela who left Chippa United after two games in charge as head coach. Reports suggest Badela and newly-appointed Sporting Director Sinesipho Mali had disagreements on the direction the team should take. As things stand, the Chilli Boys are placed 15th on the log with a single point from their opening three league matches. Meanwhile, former Free State Stars mentor Luc Eymael is reported to be the next coach to take over at the Gqeberha-based outfit.

Joe Schmidt sticks to winning formula as Wallabies eye historic double over Springboks
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt made minimal changes to his starting team ahead of the second Rugby Championship clash against the Springboks. Image: EPA Despite the numerous changes the Springboks have made, the Wallabies believe they remain a dangerous side ahead of their second Rugby Championship match in Cape Town on Saturday. While his counterpart Rassie Erasmus made 10 changes to the Bok starting team for the deciding clash at DHL Stadium (5.10pm kick-off), Australian head coach Joe Schmidt made minimal adjustments to the team that beat their hosts last weekend. Following that 38–22 victory, Schmidt was forced to replace captain and No 8 Harry Wilson with Rob Valetini. Debutant winger Corey Toole comes in for Dylan Pietsch, who suffered a fractured jaw, while Tom Robertson takes the loosehead jersey in place of the concussed James Slipper.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading With the Boks expected to return to an aerial and forward-dominated game plan, it will be a massive test for both Toole and Robertson. Valetini's physicality will also be crucial in what could be a wet and muddy affair in the Mother City. 'Corey is a great young kid. He's come in from the Sevens programme, which is something several of the South African speedsters have done,' Schmidt said. 'He's adapting well to the game, and this will be a steep learning curve for him. You want to grow their game and get them comfortable transitioning from Sevens to Fifteens. There's a lot less space to move in, and you must become proficient around the contact area. He has worked hard at that.' According to Schmidt, they expect a fierce aerial battle, and he highlighted that as another strength of Toole's game. He wants to see his side perform better when it comes to competing for high kicks.

PSL Club 100: Shalulile and Nomvethe lead the goalscoring charts!
Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has finally broken Siyabonga Nomvethe's long-standing PSL goalscoring record. It took the Namibia international just 10 years to equal Nomvethe's record, and he did that with just two teams. Shalulile first arrived in the PSL in 2015 when he signed for Highlands Park. He then joined Sundowns in 2020. Now, he has scored 129 goals in the South African topflight, the same number goals scored by Nomvethe during his playing days. It is worth mentioning that Nomvethe officially retired from football in September 2018, meaning his record stood for seven years. The South African takes a look at players – active and inactive – who scored 100 or more goals in the PSL era.
