From Princess Diana to Kate Middleton

In 2019, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the late Queen to view Princess Kate’s Back to Nature Garden. The Queen was famous for her brightly coloured coats and wore a lime green piece accessorised with the Flame Lily brooch from the Royal Collection, while Kate stepped out in a suitably floral tiered gown by Erdem and her trusty Castaner espadrilles.

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, chose romantic, ethereal dressing for her 2019 visit to the grounds. Her dreamy white midi dress, featuring intricate lace panelling and fluid bohemian kaftan sleeves, was designed by Zimmermann. She accessorised with a simple metallic clutch and pale pink suede heeled pumps.

The Princess of Wales championed high street fashion brand ME+EM in this pink shirt dress in 2023. She’s since worn the block colour style on repeat, suggesting it’s a favourite for the royal.

Princess Diana wore a navy maternity coat by Jan van Velden while pregnant with Prince Harry at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1984. She styled it with a polka dot dress, adding a pop of colour with a red handbag and red tights. Her look was completed with the perfect bouncy blow dry.

The late Queen Elizabeth II defined timeless regal style in 2016 with a beautiful baby blue look that complemented the surrounding pastel flowers. Wearing a neatly tailored coat over a coordinating floral dress, she completed the classic ensemble with her signature pearls.

Bianca Jagger brought her legendary, avant garde tailoring to a 2025 Chelsea event hosted by Burberry. Making a case for ultra luxurious pyjama style eveningwear, she wore a pale blue silk suit beautifully adorned with hand-painted botanical motifs. She completed the look with her signature dramatic sunglasses and white gloves.

Baking royalty Dame Mary Berry was the epitome of summer elegance in 2025, wearing a tailored, button-down midi dress with a soft pink floral print and delicate crystal embellishments. She effortlessly anchored the shimmering daytime look with classic neutral suede pumps and a gold watch.

Jo Whiley proved black can absolutely work for the Chelsea Flower Show when it’s a beautifully bird-adorned piece like this one by Stella McCartney. She paired it to perfect with these matching embellished peep-toe platform heels in black satin.

Dame Joan Collins delivered a masterclass in glamour at the 2023 show. The screen icon paired a black midi dress printed with pink lilies by Dolce & Gabbana underneath a structured pink blazer. She leaned into old school elegance with a wide-brimmed straw hat and immaculate white gloves.

Jasmine Hemsley leaned into the botanical brief at the 2018 show while visiting the pea-themed Seedlip Garden. Her retro-inspired A-line midi dress, covered in a bold, graphic green pea pod print, was a standout runway piece by Dolce & Gabbana, paired perfectly with a structured wicker basket bag.

Broadcaster Vick Hope served up effortless summer glamour at the 2022 show. She stunned in a mixed-print patchwork crop top and matching maxi skirt by Dolce & Gabbana. She dressed the ensemble down with a pair of white trainers, completing the look with a woven straw handbag.

This fashion duo brought a double dose of high octane colour to the 2024 grounds. Vogue opted for a white midi by Celia B splashed with a vibrant print and elevated by metallic gold sandals. Beside her, Ashley coordinated beautifully in a smocked pink-and-yellow floral set from Saloni.

No one nails dressed-down style quite like Sienna Miller. In 2009, the Hollywood actress wore a fur-lined parka with slouchy boots and her hair in a messy up-do to visit King Charles’s Highgrove stand – and she totally pulled it off.

Alexa Chung proved why she’s the ultimate style muse in a £1,000 lace-trimmed silk nightdress by Carine Gilson at the Chelsea Flower last year. She styled it with a structured longline black coat and black court heels, completing the look with a raffia handbag by Celine.
