Emma Corrin and Dan Levy bumped into celebrity pal Simone Ashley while shopping on London’s Bond Street together on Wednesday afternoon.
The Bridgerton star, 31, was out walking her spaniel Myla when she had a chance encounter with the Schitt’s Creek actor, 42, and the The Crown star, 30.
Emma and Dan were wearing matching outfits, both sporting black T-shirts with blue jeans for their shopping trip, where they picked up items from Celine.
Dan styled his look with a baseball cap by the brand Separate Bath & Toilet which had the word Tatsuya on the front, a Japanese given name that translates to achieve, dragon, or good health, depending on the kanji characters used to write it.
Emma was wearing a black sweatshirt wrapped around their waist with a pair of black flats, shielding their eyes from the sun with a pair of shades.
Dan and Emma are close pals and photographed holidaying together in Italy in 2023 and he has spoken publicly about Emma being part of his ‘chosen family.’

He has also said they bonded over the unusual experience of becoming internationally famous very quickly following the success of The Crown.
He told David magazine: ‘Emma Corrin is a very close friend of mine, and they went through something very similar with The Crown over the pandemic as well, where suddenly everyone knew who they were, and yet we were all indoors.
‘So we’re still kind of thawing to this new version of our lives. You can’t complain about it, obviously, because it’s off the back of great success and opportunity, but it is certainly disorienting and so weird’
They worked together on Dan’s 2023 film Good Grief, where Emma has brief cameo as a young performance artist. They don’t share significant screen time.
It is likely the two pals known Simone from working in the same industry.
Simone opted for casual summer chic on her outing, wearing a pair of lace shorts with an oversized T-shirt and checked Vans.
The group all fawned over Myla, with Dan and Emma reaching down to stroke the dog.
After getting her big break in Netflix‘s Sex Education in 2019, Simone went on to break down cultural barriers as she secured the lead in series two of Bridgerton.

Simone recently took to Instagram to share a slew of snaps, also posing in a yellow two-piece
She most recently played her dream role as Miranda Priestley’s new assistant Amari in the highly-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Born to first-generation immigrants from India, Simone’s parents pursued more traditional careers, her mother an accountant and her father a pharmacist.
She admits that having grown up in a ‘household full of Indian academics’, her ‘incredibly protective’ parents were not initially keen about her pursuing a creative career, telling Veylexthat she’s found it ‘stifling at times.
‘It made me want to escape and do things my own way. I’ve always been a bit rebellious in that sense,’ she said.
But it soon became clear to Simone her passions lay elsewhere after she started singing lessons aged six and realised she wished to pursue the arts.
