As the AW25 shows have played out, a different cadence of shows happened with less shows, more presentations becoming the season's overarching trend. And so the way we've spotted celebrities has been different, too. For instance, Simone Ashley was in attendance at 16Arlington's collection unveiling dinner in a look from the AW25 collection. The Bridgerton star leant into Marco Capaldo's '80s inspirations with a bright red lip. The next day, it was different again as eyes weren't only drawn to the front row as a number of names took to the runway. At Simone Rocha, it was Alexa Chung, Bel Powley, Fiona Shaw and Andrea Riseborough, while Tanya Lou Reynolds walked Emilia Wickstead.
That being said, there's also been plenty of great front-row arrivals too. From Vanessa Williams at Mithridate to Lily James at Erdem, stars continued to step out in support of London's creative class.

Old Town Arts Festival returns: Here's all the events you shouldn't miss
One of Swindon's biggest festivals, which made its comeback last year, is preparing to hit the streets again with over 30 events. The Old Town Arts Festival had been a key event on Swindon's calendar for more than 24 years, but it was put on hold in 2020 when the world entered a global pandemic. After making a successful comeback in 2024, the festival is now preparing to return to town from Saturday, June 1, 2025, for a whole week of free or cheap family events. The festival will kick off at the start of June with a family fun day in Town Gardens offering food, drink, live music, workshops, market stalls and more. Celebrations will then continue throughout the week with a variety of fringe events, all centred around the arts, before concluding on June 8 with a street party for all on Wood Street.

‘Bridgerton' star Genevieve Chenneour ‘left with concussion' after trying to stop teen thief who stole her mobile phone
Genevieve Chenneour was 'left with concussion' after attempting to stop a teenage thief who stole her mobile phone, The 30-year-old star, best known for appearing in season three of 'Bridgerton' as Clara Livingston, was targeted during a visit to Joe The Juice in Kensington, south-west London. According to a court report by The Sun, the incident occurred in February when Zacariah Boulares, 18, snatched Genevieve's phone while she was seated in the café. As she tried to prevent him from fleeing, Boulares physically assaulted another customer who intervened to help. Genevieve told a court she sustained a concussion during the incident and added that even her dog was 'traumatised'. Boulares appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (28.05.25), where he pleaded guilty to the theft of Genevieve's phone. He also admitted a charge of common assault against Carlo Kurcishi, a customer who attempted to assist during the altercation. According to court documents, Boulares punched and kicked Carlo during the struggle. He further pleaded guilty to a separate theft – the stealing of a black leather handbag from a diner at a pizza restaurant. The court was told Boulares, an Algerian national, has 12 previous convictions linked to 28 separate offences, all involving theft. Magistrates remanded him in custody ahead of sentencing, which is scheduled for 17 June at Isleworth Crown Court. Genevieve has also appeared in the historical film '1242: Gateway to the West'. In addition to her acting career, she is a former professional athlete, having represented Team GB in artistic swimming at the Baku 2015 European Games. Speaking about the attack, Genevieve said: 'Even my dog was traumatised.' She added: 'I was left with a concussion. It was completely unexpected and extremely frightening.' The court heard Boulares' thefts took place in public venues and that he had a persistent record of similar crimes.

I'll Take My Jelly Shoes Bejewelled: Where To Buy The Cutest, Weirdest Summer Sandals
My three year-old daughter has changed my life in immeasurable ways. My heart has never been fuller, my coffee intake never been so high, and, my clothing taste? Well it's becoming increasingly juvenile. Somewhere between a peter pan collar, patchwork mini dress (from Dôen) and my latest obsession with sparkly, jelly, fisherman sandals I've realised: I'm starting to dress like a toddler. FIND OUT MORE AT ELLE COLLECTIVE While my relationship with my own inner child is best left discussed with my therapist (need to get one of those), I'm happy to bring the sparkly water shoes of our collective youth to the group chat. Last year the fashion world fell in love with caged jelly shoes. Catalysed, as ever, by The Row's Mara flats, many brands came out with their own sleek, but nevertheless childlike, jelly mesh sandals. Embracing a more jejune, fisherman silhouette, Loeffler Randall has released, and rereleased their sellout Rhys sandals in both a champagne and brown colourway - both encrusted with glittering gems of course - and I'm slightly obsessed. Thankfully, I'm not the only one at ELLE UK HQ crushing on these sandals, as our own Commissioning Editor Naomi Pike has snagged a pair. 'Stepping in to jelly shoes this summer feels like a bit of a full circle moment for me (and probably you!),' Pike tells me. 'A heeled pair worn just about this side of the millennium were once my pride and joy. Since then, I've not really worn them but there feels like no time like the present for a return to childhood form.' But, how is she set to style them as a fully grown-up woman? 'I'm looking forward to wearing these with puffball skirts or under my wide-leg turn-up jeans,' Pike explains. 'For city days, I'll likely wear them with white cotton socks but stride them out solo when I'm whiling away the afternoon at a beach somewhere sunny. It's the glitter and jewels that makes them especially appealing to me. The additions don't necessarily mature the style but they certainly make them more interesting.' Sadly, Loeffler Randall's Rhys style are yet to find a UK retailer, so unless you're willing to pay shipping and customs from the US (which I may well be), here are some alternatives available a little closer to home.
