The Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, synonymous with luxury and high society, has long been the most coveted invitation in town. It has become a fixture of the London social calendar, with big names from the worlds of art, fashion, architecture, and beyond gathering to help raise funds for the gallery’s innovative art programs.

The annual summer party was extra special this year as it marked the 25th anniversary of the iconic Serpentine Pavilion architecture. To commemorate the occasion, Serpentine Galleries showcased its brand-new installation, A Capsule in Time, beautifully designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum.

An unforgettable evening, the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party featured an array of high-profile guests, captivating exhibits and installations, and, of course, a fashion lineup worthy of the red carpet. Royals and A-list stars wore elegant dresses, and their footwear choices reflected the glamorous atmosphere of the night! There was no shortage of style at this year’s soiree!

Let’s take a peek at the standout fashion from this year’s Serpentine Gallery Summer Party!

Lady Amelia Windsor: Michael Kors Pink Heels & HAX Tailoring Mini Dress

Lady Amelia Windsor is a staple at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, and she never fails to turn heads with her striking style. This year, she stunned in a head-to-toe pink ensemble, which was undoubtedly an eye-catching choice. But what caught my eye was her footwear—glittering bright pink heels.

It’s not every day you see a royal or celebrity take such a bold and playful approach to fashion, so I was surprised to see that the British fashion model slash royal family relative chose brightly colored shoes!

Lady Amelia made a statement with her Michael Kors “Blaire” sandals from the American fashion designer’s Spring 2019 collection. They’re made in Italy from brocade fabric in a metallic pink shade with hints of orange, making for a striking combination.

The retro-style silhouette of her shoes, which feature open toes, double-thick straps, and a buckled slingback strap, is a classic elements that add both structure and flair. However, the real standouts are the 2-inch-thick platforms and 4.5-inch block heels, which provided Lady Amelia Windsor, who stands at 5 feet 2 inches (158 cm) and wears a US shoe size 6, with a noticeable lift while maintaining stability and comfort. This style is a smart choice for petite fashionistas who want height without sacrificing ease of movement.

Lady Amelia looked stunning, pairing her striking shoes with a bespoke pink tweed dress by HAX Tailoring. Though made of tweed, the bright pink shade makes it a chic addition to her summer wardrobe. I particularly love the tailored fit of the dress, which complemented her figure flawlessly. It featured a fitted bodice and a square neckline that added a touch of sophistication, as well as a structured skirt that beautifully skimmed her thighs.

To finish the look, she accessorized with a silver Stone & Mason bag and two delicate silver pendant necklaces.

Kelly Osbourne: Gianvito Rossi Sandals & Rebecca Vallance Dress

Kelly Osbourne made waves at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, showcasing her impressive 85-pound weight loss in a stunning all-black ensemble! Though I expected a bright, summery color, Kelly opted for a classic head-to-toe black look that made her appear taller and slimmer.

Osbourne’s Gianvito Rossi “Rita” shoes were one of the most eye-catching elements in her ensemble, perfectly showcasing her blue skull and bone tattoos. Crafted in Italy from luxurious crepe satin, the strappy shoes featured slim straps adorned with a striking gold-tone metal logo accent. They also boasted an ankle strap bearing the same logo buckle, finished with 1-inch platforms and 4-inch block heels, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble.

You can get these Gianvito Rossi sandals for $1,175 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Osbourne’s choice of a minimalist yet contemporary black dress by Rebecca Vallance allowed her strappy sandals to take center stage. With a sleek and straightforward design, the dress perfectly embodied the Australian fashion designer’s modern and sophisticated aesthetic.

Hailing from Vallance’s upcoming Holiday collection, the dress, despite its simplicity, was nothing short of amazing. Its fitted bodice featured a gold-trimmed straight neckline, while its cinched waist highlighted Osbourne’s trimmer figure.

The slightly structured skirt falling just above her ankles added to the sophisticated and elegant feel of the dress. But its showstopping feature was the dramatic short train cascading from her back, completing her look with an extra touch of drama and glamour.

I love how Kelly’s red lipstick popped against her black dress while her long, loose waves flowed effortlessly over her shoulder! She pulled the look together with her dainty jewelry, including a pair of tiny hoops and a delicate necklace, providing just enough sparkle.

Cate Blanchett: Ruffle Pumps & Dilara Findikoglu Mermaidcore

Cate Blanchett slayed at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, giving the seasonally appropriate mermaid core look a tough-chic twist. While her ensemble was undeniably striking, her shoe choice also managed to impress.

Cate, who co-hosted the event, strutted her stuff in a pair of neutral nude leather pumps. While they featured the classic pump DNA, with pointed toes and high stiletto heels, these pumps were anything but ordinary. The delicate ruffled lace trimming, which elegantly traced the topline of the shoes, added an unexpected touch of femininity and whimsy to her outfit!

Cate paired her shoes with a showstopping creation from Dilara Findikoglu’s Venus from Chaos collection, inspired by the Roman goddess Venus. A true work of art, the top featured a structured corset intricately adorned with shells, pearls, and safety pins, creating an armored look. The high neck was decorated with pearls and spikey shells, while the shoulders were fitted with protective pauldrons, adding a touch of warrior-like femininity.

Enhancing its silhouette, the bust section was accentuated with pearls, crystals, and shells of various colors, creating a stunning look. Moreover, the midriff was embellished with shells and pins arranged to form a slimming effect. Two large conch shells were placed on the hips, lending an added touch of architectural beauty to the design. While the eye-catching top was impressive, I couldn’t help but wonder how heavy it must have been!

Blanchett paired her heavily embellished top with a deconstructed mermaid midi skirt featuring frayed trims that contrasted with the elaborate design of the bodice.

I commend Cate for keeping the rest of her look simple! She styled her blonde hair in a messy bun, highlighting her freshly made-up face. She wore just a hint of peachy eyeshadow paired with pink blush and lipstick.

To finish off the look, she wore tiny diamond studs, adding just the right amount of sparkle and glamour to her already ornate ensemble.

Alicia Vikander: Silver Stilettos & Louis Vuitton Elegance

Alicia Vikander looked the picture of elegance at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party! She opted for a minimalist pair of silver heels, allowing her dress to take center stage.

Vikander’s shoes featured a timeless silhouette with a buckled ankle strap, a slim toe strap, and around 4-inch stiletto heels, boosting her 5ft 5 (165.1 cm) height. Despite the simplicity, I love how the metallic color complemented her dress, making the whole look cohesive and polished.

Not only were the shoes stylish, but they also elongated her figure, making her legs appear even longer. They worked in harmony with her dress’s silhouette, creating a long, lean line from head to toe!

It’s not surprising to see Alicia Vikander rocking Louis Vuitton at the summer party. As an ambassador for the fashion house since 2015, she’s grown a reputation for sporting Louis Vuitton in almost every public appearance.

She wore a column dress that perfectly showcased her tall, slim frame. It was crafted from delicate ivory tulle and adorned with light blue beaded flowers that shimmered like delicate snowflakes. The bustier bodice, with its sweetheart neckline and defined waist, hugged her form effortlessly before transitioning into an ankle-length skirt.

Enhancing the romance and femininity of her look, Alicia wore her tresses in chic, neat French braids, highlighting her soft pink makeup. She also wore a pair of diamond earrings and several rings for added sparkle.

Rebel Wilson: Gold Gucci Mules & Temperley London Glamour

It was hard to miss Rebel Wilson at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party when she was glowing in gold! She looked the epitome of glamour in her white and gold look, which was perfect for the sunny summer season!

Rebel Wilson’s Gucci shoes were a show-stopper, exuding a retro-chic charm. Crafted in Italy from luxurious gold metallic leather, the shoes featured peep toes and unique crisscrossing wavy straps, adding a touch of femininity. Perched atop 2-inch block kitten heels with mini gold double G details, these shoes bring timeless glamour to her already striking gold look.

I love how Rebel paired her golden mules with Temperley London’s “Frankel” dress in liquid gold! The shimmering gold tones created a head-turning look that stood out on the red carpet. However, the effect was far from overstated.

Rebel exuded a sense of classic luxury and refinement in her white and gold dress. The color combination was elegant, and the opulent gold leaf pattern in a metallic jacquard weave was striking. It had a loose-fitting bodice with a V-neckline and a collar, accompanied by turned-up short sleeves that added a hint of laid-back elegance. The self-tie waist belt enhanced Rebel’s figure, with the skirt transitioning effortlessly into a voluminous, slightly structured silhouette.

The dress itself was a perfect fusion of modern glamour and regal sophistication! You can buy this Temperley London creation for $2,985 at Farfetch.

Rebel’s glam and choice of accessories did not disappoint! Her ponytail and side-swept bangs looked chic and effortless, while her smoky eye makeup and neutral brown lipstick perfectly accentuated her facial features and brought out her natural beauty. And let’s not forget her open necklace, tennis bracelet, and diamond rings that added the perfect amount of sparkle to the look!

Jourdan Dunn: Philosophy Heels & Balmain Gilded Mini

Jourdan Dunn had legs for days at the summer party, and her Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini sandals made her already endless legs look even longer.

The shoes epitomized classic elegance, with their shiny patent leather material adding a touch of sophistication to the look. The crossover straps, square open toes, and the diagonal strap that wrapped around the heel, secured with a buckle, added an extra bit of visual interest to the design.

Despite already towering above most people at 6 feet (182.9 cm), Jourdan Dunn wore sandals with 4-inch heels, which boosted her already impressive height and made her legs appear endless.

These sandals are on sale for $329 (from $653) at Farfetch.

Jourdan Dunn looked fabulous and party-ready as she chose a stunning gold mini dress from the Balmain Pre-Fall 2025 collection to complement her chic black sandals. I love the contrast between the two colors, which creates an eye-catching and elegant combination.

The dress accentuates her figure in all the right places, with a halter neck that highlights her shoulders, a fitted waist that accentuates her curves, and a thigh-skimming mini-skirt that elongates her long legs. It also has side cutouts and an open back, adding a touch of allure!

The dress is not just striking for its perfect fit but also its eye-catching embellishments. The gold-tone buttons sprinkled throughout the dress add a touch of retro shimmer and texture to the design!

Jourdan Dunn’s glam choice was spot on. From her glossy, wet-look pixie hairstyle adorned with retro finger waves to her statement gold earrings and sultry burgundy lipstick, she was the epitome of vintage glamour.

Georgia May Jagger: Black Pumps & David Koma LBD

Georgia May Jagger looked stunning as she arrived at the party, showing off her endless legs in a pair of timeless pumps. The black suede material gave the shoes a touch of classic elegance, while the squared vamp and thin slingback strap provided a modern twist.

The high heels added some height to Georgia’s already impressive 5ft 5 ½ inches (166.4 cm) figure, making her legs look even longer and leaner.

Georgia made a wise choice by wearing simple shoes, which highlighted her LBD. The dress itself was stunning, featuring sheer mesh panels at the decolletage and delicate, fluttering sleeves. It also has an eye-catching black rose accent in the middle, adding a touch of romance and whimsy to the look.

The dress’s basque waist, combined with the ruffled, asymmetric skirt, created a flattering silhouette that showcased Georgia’s legs to perfection.

Georgia was not one to go overboard with accessories, choosing instead a classic and chic metallic silver clutch to complete her look. It had a striking shark’s fin shape, adding playfulness to the overall ensemble.
