Ashley Williams proves she's the girl of the moment
Ashley Williams is fast becoming a name to remember. Ever since the NEWGEN starlet first landed on the fashion circuit back in 2013, we haven’t stopped obsessing over her cool girl aesthetic.

Canary marabou feathers sat atop printed day dresses and fiery tiger-striped trousers were juxtaposed against scorpion sandals.
Makeup was perfectly imperfect, as models rocked spiderweb-effect eyes. The telling sign of a good night out.

Ashley Williams fans will also be pleased that the designer brought back her famed nineties-inspired barrettes. This season, they sat wedged in models’ crimped hair spelling the words ‘Misery’ and ‘Ugly’ in jewels.
But the Ashley Williams girl stepped out with an enviable air of confidence. After all, she keeps crystals on her bedroom shelf to ward off any negative energy…
