Chelsea Flower Show 2025: Best Dressed
Every May, the London neighbourhood of Chelsea transforms into a floral haven for the Chelsea Flower Show, and with it, street style flourishes as green thumbs, celebrities,and royalty attend.
This year RHS Chelsea Flower Show ran from 20 to 24 May 2025, returning once again to the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The must-see event brings with it world-class garden design and is filled with gorgeous floral displays, sophisticated horticultural displays and exclusive shopping.
Despite the Flower Show being a ticketed event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Chelsea in Bloom spills out across the King’s Road and Sloane Street. Local businesses participate in the spring event by transforming their storefronts with impressive floral installations.
Chelsea in Bloom is the city’s largest free-to-attend floral art festival is produced by Cadogan in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society.
We list our best-dressed attendees from the most fashionable week in London’s spring calendar.
