I’ll be honest—celebrities haven’t always been my go-to for fashion inspiration. With all the loud prints, bold hues, and statement pieces, I often found them a little too 'out there' for my more pared-back, refined wardrobe. But 2025? It’s changed everything.

From last month’s Met Gala, which featured celebrities showcasing their finest tailoring to pay homage to Black dandyism, to the Cannes Film Festival that took French glamour to the next level, 2025 is the year that celebrities have truly impressed me with their style. And just when I thought they couldn’t top themselves, last night’s Serpentine Summer Party took place.

Each year, the Serpentine Gallery celebrates its newly unveiled pavilion, and 2025’s spotlight was on Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum, whose ‘A Capsule in Time’ installation—crafted from sculptural wooden and bamboo structures—was nothing short of spectacular.

The guest list was no less impressive, including plenty of our favourite fashion icons, from Monroe Bergdorf to Lily Allen, who, instead of the brightly coloured ensembles we usually spot on the carpet, opted for chic monochromatic looks that can easily be adapted into our own everyday wardrobes.

But don’t just take it from me, keep scrolling to see my edit of the best outfits I spotted at the 2025 Serpentine summer party.

Remember when people dressed up to travel on an airplane? Well, it looks like Cate Blanchett never forgot.

The actress was spotted at JFK airport in New York City wearing a grey three-piece Mango suit and toting a Louis Vuitton carry-on. Pairing the suit with cat-eye sunglasses, a black roll-neck jumper, and a button-down shirt, the Tár star was clearly prepared for the cold weather and to turn a few heads. 

So will three-piece suits be the next trend to take over airport style? We're not opposed to the idea. To be expected, Cate's exact suit has sold out, but keep scrolling to shop for other suit separates from Mango, The Frankie Shop, H&M, and Aligne. Who knows—maybe the paparazzi will take your picture the next time your plans call for air travel.

"Ageless fashion" is a term that editors have latched onto over the last few years, and Cate Blanchett is one of the best examples of why you should wear whatever you want at any age. The 50-year-old Hollywood actress always looks elegant and graceful, however, she is never afraid of making an impact with her styling choices and just having fun. This is a woman who is more likely to wear a feathered cape than a little black dress, and her red carpet back catalogue is filled with theatrical couture creations that are anything but safe. This week she is promoting her latest film, Where'd You Go Bernadette, and she hasn't disappointed on the outfit front.

Cate's stylist Elizabeth Stewart expertly blends classic pieces, such as timeless workwear staples by The Row and black stilettos by Sergio Rossi, with real show-stoppers. This week she has worn a bright pink trouser suit by Akris, for example, and an '80s trouser suit by Alexander McQueen that most other actresses would shy away from. Keep scrolling to see the five winning outfits Cate Blanchett has worn this week. 

Outfit 1

Style Notes: Cate wears a printed blouse by The Row with a pair of brown high-waisted, wide-leg trousers and simple black court shoes by Sergio Rossi.

Outfit 2

Style Notes: Cate wears a yellow silk blouse by The Row with cut-out details on the sleeves with black high-waisted trousers and a black court shoe. 

Outfit 3

Style Notes: Cate pairs her Pepto Bismol–pink trouser suit with simple white trainers.

Outfit 4

Style Notes: Cate is never one to shy away from a daring catwalk trend, and here she wears a statement '80s suit with Quality Street wrapper–esque sleeves by Alexander McQueen. 

Outfit 5

Style Notes: Cate re-wears her orange trousers with a simple blouse and black tuxedo jacket.

Who says a power suit has to be black? The ladies of the Cannes Film Festival prove that a pastel pantsuit is where it's at right now. Kristen Stewart, Romee Strijd, Cate Blanchett and Léa Seydoux have convinced us we need one in every colour.

Stewart went with a pale blue tweed suit, while Blanchett opted for a pink pastel version. Seydoux rounded out the trio with a sharply tailored green suit and a classic white blouse. Blanchett even took it one step further and wore a different suit to the airport—this time, a pale yellow iteration. Dying to get your hands on the look? Scroll down for affordable alternatives from Zara.

The power of three: Kristen Stewart, Léa Seydoux and Cate Blanchett all wore colourful suits for the occasion.

Romee Strijd styles hers out with sneakers.

Nothing is crisper than a fresh lemon suit.

What we love about these cheerful suits is how they blend perfectly with a summer wardrobe and can be worn as separates. Now go on—get your hands on one before they're all gone.

Need a distraction from your 9-to-5? Or rather, another distraction after all the red carpet glory of the recent Met Gala in New York? Of course you do. Allow us to turn your attention to the illustrious Cannes Film Festival in the south coast of France, where dramatic dresses and couture gowns provide plenty of eye candy.

Stalwarts of the festival have so far stuck to personal dress codes. Julianne Moore stepped out in yet another red dress—this time a hand-embroidered caped column gown by Givenchy Haute Couture that was finished with feathers. (Last year she wore another crimson feather-trimmed gown also made by Givenchy Couture.) Cate Blanchett—chair of this year's jury—recycled a Georgio Armani Privé black lace gown she first wore to the Golden Globes in 2014, where she won the Best Performance in a Moving Picture award for her role in Blue Jasmine.

Penelope Cruz has up to now stuck to classic black, wearing an array of black dresses that include a fishtail-backed midi that she accessorised with Atelier Swarovski jewels, and a dramatic lace number with frothy tulle detailing.

Meanwhile, Fan Bingbing has worn pouffy dresses fit for a princess, including a nude pink couture Ralph & Russo gown that was covered in a delicate layer of sparkle.

The Cannes Film Festival is now in full swing, meaning for the next two weeks, the arrivals hall at the Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport will be flooded with the biggest names in Hollywood. The red carpet is considered the most glamorous in the world, but unless you frequently attend galas on yachts, you won't be able to take any practical style tips from the sea of couture gowns.

However, the style parade arriving at the Nice airport is a different story. In fact, the place has turned into its own red carpet of sorts, as a pack of photographers are there for every incoming flight and A-listers are planning their Cannes arrival outfits as if it was a photocall, but this is actually where the likes of Bella Hadid, Jessica Chastain and Julianne Moore wear looks we can all copy. But like any sort of stylish get-together, there will be a few who want to surprise. Case in point for 2018? Well, when you scroll down to see Kendall Jenner's sheer, taupe-coloured leggings and matching backless top styled with her snakeskin boots, you'll know what we mean. On the flipside, one glance at Kristen Stewart's biker jacket, white tee and slouchy jeans combination and you'll feel more than happy wearing your usual comfy get-up next time you touch down at Heathrow. Scroll below to see the best outfits that we've spotted at the Nice airport so far…

Style Notes: We had to show you both views of Kendall's bodycon co-ords. Very few people would choose such a risqué ensemble on a regular day (let alone a day spent travelling), but hey, no one ever expects a Jenner to be casual.

Style Notes: Here we see another daring option as worn by Romee Strijd. We will, however, take a cue on the chunky sneaks, shoulder-thrown jumper and plait combination.

Style Notes: Being the boss—per usual—in one of the many suits Blanchett has been wearing at Cannes 2018.

Style Notes: When in doubt, travel like Julianne Moore. A roomy blouse, relaxed denim, flat sandals and a few celebrity-worthy accessories always do the trick.

Style Notes: This is what we want to wear for our next flight. Thanks, Kristen Stewart, for making laid-back attire look so acceptable.

Style Notes: Léa Seydoux and Cate Blanchett in suits cahoots? Quite possibly. The French actress made a great case for wearing a smart black suit for any occasion with this simple ensemble.

Style Notes: Fan Bingbing technically has quite a pared-back outfit on, but she brings oodles of personality via her accessories. We already told you sunglasses chains were back.

Style Notes: Like a smart suit, only far more comfortable. Bella Hadid opted for a lightweight two-piece to wear with a retro tee and her favourite Nike sneaks here, which we love.

Style Notes: Stella Maxwell knows the key to our heart: double denim with a Chanel bag on top.

Style Notes: Jessica Chastain has kindly confirmed one thing we suspected: Leopard-printed coats really are an easy way to look fabulous instantly.

The requirements for the EE British Academy Film Awards red carpet are far more complex than those of any in Hollywood. Why? Let's be honest, it's all down to the inclement weather. The BAFTAs walk is a notoriously chilly and windswept one—for A-listers and reporters alike—so navigating this glamorous affair without emulating scenes from The Revenant (if you haven't seen it, frostbite is all too common) is actually quite an ask. From Alicia Vikander in full-length leather to Dakota Johnson in yet another great spaghetti-strapped number, the starry line-up did not disappoint.

This could very well be the year that puts truly exciting red-carpet fashion back into the style sphere. For too long have celebrities and stylists been too careful, safe in their lovely-but-seen-it-before ballgowns without a risk of falling onto a worst dressed list. The new mood in fashion town is one of joyous individuality, of piling on your accessories until you resemble Iris Apfel's twin or a Gucci campaign girl, of approaching trends four at a time with wild abandon and not giving two tosses over what's actually en vogue or not.

It seems that the unique message has definitely spread to the A-list world, with last night's W Magazine Golden Globes Party at L.A.'s famed Chateau Marmont sparking up a series of brocade trouser suits, crazy faux fur combined with slip dresses, seriously shiny slit-to-there frocks paired with suede OTKs… Wrong on paper, so right IRL. No chance these experimental looks are landing on a no-no pile—not in our opinion, anyway.

Pretty much every woman, without exception, is a fan of wearing a maxi dress from time to time. Whether you're just going out to run errands or dressing up for an evening out, the garment seems to consistently be one of the most versatile in any woman's wardrobe. The fashion world isn't quite over them yet either: The maxi dress is still trending strongly on runways, street style stars, and celebrities alike.

We recently became quite curious to hear what real men think of an item so beloved among women far and wide. So we reached out to a gaggle of guys, showed them some photos of ladies in maxi dresses, and asked them to give their unfiltered thoughts. As per usual, they didn't disappoint.
