#WomanCrushWednesday: 6 Reasons We’re Fan-Girling Hard On Ashley Madekwe’s Style

Introducing our latest, so-hot-right-now style inspo; Ashley Madekwe, AKA Revenge’s Ashley Davenport, Salem’s Tibuta and the blogger behind Ring My Bell. Here are six reasons why we’ve got a big old crush on her style. (Warning: Wardrobe envy coming up!)

1 She breaks the rules

Yep, those are red socks under chunky sandals. It breaks fashion rule number one but somehow Ashley makes it work. We don’t know how she does it. #Sigh.

2 Casual and comfy are okay

Nope you don’t need a tight dress and kitten heels to look H.A.W.T. Ashley proves that slouchy denim and a cool pair of kicks are the ultimate in understated sexy.

3 She takes style risks

“I find the idea of thigh high boots quite scary as they can very easily veer into costume territory,” she wrote on her blog. “With this in mind I had planned to keep this look very simple… but then I threw all logic out of the window and threw on a leopard print coat like a cape.” #YouGoGirl

4 She’s got festival fashion down pat

Shades? Check. Tunic? Check. Cute satchel? Check. We’ll be wearing this one to Electric Picnic, except with a sturdy pair of wellies, cos y’know, Irish weather.

5 She’s not afraid to be fabulous 

“These jeans are a party all by themselves,” writes Ashley. “I got to borrow them as part of my column in last month’s Glamour and totally relished blinding people with their sheer fabulosity.” We’ll one in every colour, thanks!

6 All white everything is totally her thing

It’s set to be a massive for spring/summer, but our Ash is streaks ahead with the white on white trend. She keeps it luxe with clashing metals. #LoveIt
