Ellie Goulding made a striking statement at this year’s Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, held on the grounds of the art gallery in Kensington Gardens, London, on June 27.
The highly anticipated annual event brought together luminaries from various creative fields, including fashion, art, film, music, and architecture, united in support of the Serpentine Galleries’ exhibitions.
Joining the ranks of fashion-forward attendees such as Jourdan Dunn, Diane Kruger, Venus Williams, and Natasha Lyonne, Ellie Goulding showcased her distinctive style on this extraordinary occasion.
Styled by Georgia Medley, the 36-year-old singer looked stunning in a unique black leather two-piece ensemble from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini’s Autumn/Winter 2023 collection.

Her outfit effortlessly combined edginess with feminine allure, featuring an off-the-shoulder long-sleeve top with a plunging sweetheart neckline and ruched detailing.
This classic touch accentuated Ellie’s figure, offering a glimpse of her midriff as the top section finished just above her waist.
Complementing the top was a high-waisted, flared maxi skirt that gracefully fell to her ankles, creating an elegant A-line silhouette. Its wide waistband added a touch of class to the ensemble, enhancing Ellie’s overall look.

Adding the finishing touches, Ellie accessorized with a statement ring and delicate earrings from Maria Tash. These exquisite pieces caught the light, adding a subtle sparkle to her ensemble with her long, blonde tresses cascading gracefully over her shoulders.
While Ellie Goulding’s fashion choices made waves at the event, her decision to attend without her engagement ring garnered attention.

Recent reports suggest the couple has been facing marital struggles due to their busy schedule and “spending time apart.”
However, despite the challenges, they remain close and committed to co-parenting their son, Arthur, whom they welcomed in 2021. Their friends believe they will work on rebuilding their marriage after being spotted in public on multiple occasions together.
In a report by The Sun, a source said, “There have been ups and downs for a while, but they have always strongly felt they wanted to stay together so they could both be with their son. In the end they’ve tried to find a compromise where they continue to share lots of time together for their son Arthur, but outside of that sometimes live separate lives for now.”

The insider clarified, “There is no discussion of a divorce and neither of them have been in a new relationship – the priority is to keep good friends and remain amicable whilst they work out their next steps, so they can stay close and enjoy being mum and dad to Arthur. There will always be a lot of love between them despite some difficult times, and they want the best for each other.”
Ellie and Caspar’s relationship began in 2017, and they married in 2019 at York Minster, attended by notable figures such as Sarah, Duchess of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Cressida Bonas.
