Fans of “Pretty Little Liars” are devastated to know that the show will be wrapping up after this season, but it seems like nobody is more upset than the cast members themselves. Since the filming ended in October of 2016, the PLL cast hasn’t had the opportunity to reunite—that is, until PaleyFest.
Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily Fields in the series, was reunited with her co-star and offscreen BFF Ashley Benson. The two finally sat down for a panel interview at PaleyFest in Los Angeles.

Shay showed off her dangerous curves in a low-neckline ruffled dress from Cushnie et Ochs. If you’re unfamiliar with the brand, it’s mastered the red-carpet-ready dress look.
Shay’s dress—designed with the illusion of asymmetrical sleeve ruffles—was photographed just as beautifully as everything else Cushnie et Ochs has ever done.

Shay and Ashley openly showcased their close bond as they playfully posed for the cameras at PaleyFest.
Working together for seven years, they forged a strong friendship in their early 20s. Since then, they’ve frequently been seen spending time together, even during their off days.

The 30-year-old even uploaded a “wedding picture” with Ashley which she captioned, “How great is this wedding photo of @itsashbenzo and I?! Reunited and it feels SO GOOD! So happy to see the #benzo to my #buttah and the rest of my PLL family yesterday!”
After Shay Mitchell stunned on the red carpet, her co-star and close friend, Ashley Benson, made her own bold fashion statement at PaleyFest, showcasing a completely different style.

Cara Delevingne’s ex-girlfriend, who mostly wore lace, bright colors, and short skirts for the television show, seemed eager to enter the menswear pool.
Ashley arrived at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, all decked out in a handsome ensemble, and she joined the rest of the “Pretty Little Liars” cast for a sit-down interview.

Ashley’s genuine excitement was palpable as she reunited with the rest of the “Pretty Little Liars” cast at PaleyFest after being apart for some time, especially when she saw her BFF Shay Mitchell and co-star Tyler Blackburn.
The tight-knit bond between the cast members was evident through their heartfelt expressions of joy upon being together again. However, it was bittersweet for them as they acknowledged that PLL would conclude after the current season.
