Ashley Benson’s penchant for mixing high-fashion staples with unexpected textures was on full display in Los Angeles in June 2021.

While dining at Joan’s on Third, the actress showcased a masterclass in summertime monochrome, punctuated by a bold animal print that remains a seasonal favorite.

The foundation of her look relied on a pair of long-line black denim Pieced Angled shorts from Agolde ($198).

Featuring a unique notched waist, front pleats, and frayed hems, these structured cutoffs balance a vintage silhouette with modern edge.

The American actress paired the look with a black tube top, which showed off her midriff and gold body chain. For some coverage, she added a black leather motorcycle jacket from Saint Laurent ($4,990).

The Spring Breakers star amped up her casual-cool look with a pair of Anine Bing Daria sunglasses, several rings, and a pair of dangling earrings.

She carried her stuff in a black croc-effect leather tote from Saint Laurent ($3,050). The Sac de Jour open-top bag features round top handles, a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, accordion sides, and purse feet.

Adding a playful twist to her monochrome ensemble, Ashley slipped into Simon Miller’s “Bil” cow-print thong sandals, a sculptural style perched on the brand’s signature comma heels.

Originally founded in 2008 as a men’s denim label, Simon Miller has since transformed under CEO and Creative Director Chelsea Hansford into one of fashion’s most recognizable purveyors of “L.A. cool” — a dopamine-dressing lifestyle brand known for its retro-futuristic silhouettes and mid-century modern edge.

While the label now spans everything from ready-to-wear to home goods, its footwear remains the hero category, with cult favorites like the Beep kitten-heel thong and Bubble platform clogs defining its playful luxury aesthetic.

The “Bil” sandals fit squarely within that DNA, pairing minimalist Y2K straps with an artful heel and statement print — the kind of irreverent sophistication that has made Simon Miller a contemporary-luxury standout.
