Ashlee Simpson: InStyle For The Summer

Ashlee Simpson is all smiles at InStyle Magazine’s 2009 Summer Soiree held at the London Hotel on Thursday (August 20), 2009 in West Hollywood.

The 24-year-old actress recently described her character in the upcoming reboot of Melrose Place. “She is a little weird,” she told People. “I have a so-called innocent side, but I think it’s just the persona that I’m giving to people. I’m only setting people up. Her name is Violet and she’s new to Melrose Place, new to L.A., looking for a family member – looking for any kind of family, looking for love. She’s really not accepted – not just yet. I think that’s something interesting, to play the outsider.”

FYI: Ashlee wore a Jill Stuart dress, Dolce & Gabbana clutch, Brian Atwood pumps, and a lia sophia layered pearl necklace.
