Celebrities at the Serpentine Summer Party 2025
With Cate Blanchett and Eiza González already commanding attention, the rest of the red carpet for the Serpentine Summer Party made sure they had their own memorable fashion moments. Some looks embraced the summer brief with flair, while others leaned into texture, drama and full-on personality.
The quiet power of Louis Vuitton
Alicia Vikander wore the kind of custom Louis Vuitton gown that stops you mid-scroll—not because it’s loud or avant-garde, but because it’s so unexpectedly delicate. The ivory embroidered tulle bustier gown with a heart neckline doesn’t scream Vuitton, but it absolutely speaks Alicia’s language. It’s romantic, soft-spoken, and beautiful. Her silver patent sandals, a Pure V ring and diamond earrings from the brand’s High Jewellery collection added just enough shimmer without disturbing the serenity.

Summer Tinsel
Gugu Mbatha-Raw gave us festive drama in a green Erdem Fall 2025 dress trimmed with tinsel which she wore it with effortless ease. The black velvet Erdem Bloom bag may have been a touch heavy, but the dress was clearly the main character.
Every detail counts
Griff continues to prove herself as one of the most original dressers on the red carpet. Her Rabanne Resort 2026 look was a visual feast: from the layered red embellishments to the black embroidered cardigan, the classic Rabanne silver bag and that crystal-accented headpiece, it was fashion maximalism done her way.
How to survive a heatwave in style
Sheila Atim nailed hot-weather dressing in a shredded, draped, fringed dress that looked as breezy as it was edgy. The addition of a choker gave the whole thing a sleek, modern edge without making it feel overworked.

The satin slip that says “summer soirée”
Joanne Froggatt kept things clean and classic in a satin spaghetti strap dress from Bevza. It’s the kind of look that makes perfect sense for an outdoor summer party—light, slinky and styled just right with Bvlgari jewels, a Tyler Ellis clutch and Gianvito Rossi sandals.

Layers of fun—literally
Lily Allen finally gave us something exciting in this 16Arlington strapless number. With its polka dots, feathered pom-poms layered skirt, the look was a much-needed jolt of playful energy. More of this, please, and less Chanel-on-autopilot.
All legs, all sparkle
Jourdan Dunn showed off her endless legs in a Balmain Pre-Fall 2025 halterneck mini dress complete with embellished buttons. It was sexy, sharp and packed with the kind of confidence only Jourdan can deliver.
Art meets fashion
Tiffany Hsu closed out this fashionable lineup in a black and white abstract dress by Steve O Smith—the same designer Eddie Redmayne can’t get enough of. The dress, featuring the label’s signature brushstroke prints, was a wearable canvas that added a touch of cerebral cool to the mix which as perfect for this event.
