Every May, London’s most elegant neighbourhood bursts into bloom – but this year, fashion is firmly in full flower. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show, running from 20-24 May 2025, returns once again to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, bringing with it world-class garden design, horticultural excellence, and an audience that includes royalty, celebrities and green-fingered glitterati.
But just a few streets away, an entirely separate spectacle is also unfolding: Chelsea in Bloom, the city’s largest free-to-attend floral art festival, produced by Cadogan in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society.
While the Flower Show is a ticketed event behind manicured gates, Chelsea in Bloom spills out across the King’s Road and Sloane Street, with over 100 shops, restaurants and hotels transforming their storefronts with extravagant floral installations. This year’s theme, Flowers in Fashion, celebrates Chelsea in Bloom’s 20th anniversary by paying tribute to iconic style moments, legendary designers and London’s creative scene. Expect giant handbags made from hydrangeas, sunglasses crafted entirely of stems, and plenty of tongue-in-chic garden glamour.
It’s no wonder both events have become magnets for the stylish set. Whether attending the show gardens at RHS Chelsea or simply soaking in the petal-covered pavements nearby, guests arrive dressed for the occasion – think floral frocks, raffia accessories, and the prettiest kitten heels in town. As tulips, roses, and ranunculus take centre stage, so too do the outfits. Here, we round up the best dressed attendees from the most fashionable week in London’s spring calendar. Florals? For Chelsea? Always groundbreaking.
Chelsea Flower Show 2025 Best Dressed:

Jade Holland Cooper
Jade Holland Cooper’s navy polka-dot number brought quiet luxury to the greenhouse. With sheer sleeves, a belted waist and contrast collar detail, the dress had vintage flair with a modern twist. Navy espadrille wedges and a straw tote made it picnic-ready, while gold hoops and oversized sunnies added cool-girl edge.

Cate Blanchett
Leave it to Cate Blanchett to redefine flower show fashion. She balanced structure and ease in an oversized charcoal blazer and chocolate brown wide-leg trousers. The powder blue shirt – with its cheekily exaggerated collar – peeking out from every angle gave serious style-editor-off-duty energy.

Perfectly coordinated pair Leah Lane and Paula Sutton gave countryside couture a front-row upgrade. Leah dazzled in a red toile de Jouy puff-sleeve dress with a matching hairband, while Paula brought the drama in a red duster coat, floral wrap skirt, and brooch-pinned white shirt.

Isaac Benigson
Dandy meets maximalist in Isaac Benigson’s theatrical pinstripe moment. He wore wide-leg tailoring with a twist – accented by a polka dot tie, layered knits, and the pièce de résistance: hot pink socks and cut-out loafers. His look screamed playful power dressing with a pinch of Wes Anderson energy. This was garden-party eccentricity at its boldest – and most brilliant.

Gaby Roslin
Proof that tailoring doesn’t have to be stiff, Gaby Roslin turned heads in a soft blush three-piece suit with exaggerated wide-leg trousers and a sharply tailored vest.
