Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer Twin in Coordinated Red Gowns for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party
Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer opted for red hot attire for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party on Tuesday in London. The nieces of the late Princess Diana joined such guests as Eiza González and cohost Cate Blanchett. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the Serpentine Pavilion in Kensington Gardens, designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum for 2025. For the special occasion, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza coordinated their attire. Both wore red gowns with fabric draping and flowing silhouettes, with each adapting particular details to individualize their matching looks.

The dress included a straight neckline, providing the ideal frame for Lady Amelia's shimmering accessories — a statement choker necklace and chandelier earrings. The British model's hair was styled in a tight chignon and pulled back with a side part. Lady Eliza's red gown was strapless and included elements of fabric draping from the bustline and the waist. The dress, much like her sister's, was wholly evocative of Grecian style with its flowing silhouette and movement. The straight neckline of Lady Eliza's dress also served to frame her accessories, which differentiated slightly from those of her sister. Lady Eliza wore a ruby red and shimmering silver necklace with coordinated chandelier earrings. The model's hair was styled down with the controversial side part — a style celebrities like Scarlett Johansson have recently embraced. Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer are accustomed to twinning for major events. More recently, the sisters attended Royal Ascot on Friday wearing sharp, tailored looks reminiscent of their late aunt's royal wardrobe. The two coordinated their footwear, wearing The Fold London's black patent Savona pumps. Outside of their recent public appearances, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer costarred in the summer campaign for Aspinal of London. The sisters, both of whom also serve as Aspinal of London ambassadors, were photographed for the '60s-inspired campaign, captured in a rustic cottage near Aspinal's headquarters in southwest Surrey, England. 'We have been wearing the brand for several years. Aspinal has a beautiful bag for every occasion and has regularly been our handbag accessory of choice at many red carpet and formal events,' the sisters said. 'We are excited for the advertising campaign to launch, as the team has created something very cool and iconic. And we are also looking forward to some of the other exciting moments that will be shared later this year.'

What The Cool Girls Are Wearing To Ascot 2025: The Dress Code Explained And 10 Outfit Ideas
Race day season is around the corner, and with Royal Ascot as renowned for its style as it is for the sport, attendees may be feeling the pressure in the summer fashion stakes. With an exacting dress code to navigate (and different rules per enclosure), a degree of preparation is required to stake your claim as best dressed guest. With Royal Ascot running for five days each June, look to the style set for inspiration. Attendees Lady Amelia, Lady Eliza Spencer and influencer Peony Lim favoured classic cream and white tones last year, choosing long-sleeved collared dresses and a belted jacket and A-line skirt respectively. Opting for plain shades and either colour block separates or a timeless pattern such as polka dots will ensure your look won't date, and can be worn for other formal events – and years – to come. Fashion editor Flora Macdonald Johnston wore a textured yellow dress with black accessories and a navy feathered tabard and skirt to attend two of her five days at Royal Ascot 2024, with each outfit complimented by a striking hat. Shades of pink proved popular, with nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin opting for an ankle length satin dress, shoulder robed by a pink blazer, and Ascot TV presenter Rosie Tapner chose a colour block design in pale pink, fuchsia and scarlet red. Meanwhile, some of Ascot's most stylish are increasingly favouring darker shades. Model Betty Bachz paired a deep brown two-piece suit with black accessories while model Pritika Swarup was elegant in a dark navy fitted cropped jacket and pencil skirt, beautifully accented by the veiling of her coordinating hat. Among the other sartorial highlights for 2024 were Hana Cross who wore a fitted white dress and navy veiled hat, and content creator Kelly Eastwood who paired a silk brown and white polka dot suit with a powder blue handbag and cream platform sandals. Wearing white for Ascot will always look chic, demonstrated by Amber Le Bon in a silk satin dress and double-breasted blazer, and Rosie Tapner who chose a three-piece suit teamed with an oval hat accented by bright floral embellishment. Depending on where you'll view the races, each enclosure at Royal Ascot adopts a different dress code. The Royal Enclosure is the most strict, requesting that guests wear a dress or skirt that falls on the knee or longer, with shoulder straps a minimum width of 2.5cm (so no strapless or spaghetti strap styles). If you're opting for a trouser suit, each part should be of matching material and colour, while jumpsuits must fall below the knee and meet the shoulder strap width. Hats must be worn, and have a minimum base diameter of 10cm (so no headbands or fascinators allowed). In the Queen Anne or Village Enclosure, dresses or tops must have shoulder or halter-neck straps, with the same requirements for trouser suits or jumpsuits as before, and hats, headpieces or fascinators worn (with no minimum diameter). Meanwhile, the Windsor Enclosure is the most relaxed of all, with no official dress code – but smart daywear is encouraged along with a hat, headpiece, hairband or fascinator. For added assistance, ELLE UK spoke to leading British designer and creative director of Royal Ascot, Daniel Fletcher, who oversees the official lookbook for the event, and below, see our edit of the best clothes and accessories to shop for race day now. Which trends have you seen emerge for dressing for Ascot this year? One of the standout trends this season is playful prints; a joyful, expressive style statement that's both accessible and endlessly versatile. From classic polka dots to bold florals, printed pieces are everywhere right now, making it easy to embrace a look that hits the mark no matter your budget. Pattern is a trend that invites personal expression while staying rooted in Royal Ascot dressing traditions – a perfect balance for the modern race week goer's wardrobe. What has been your most memorable look worn at Ascot in recent times? A constant source of inspiration for the Ascot lookbooks, and a personal favourite of mine, is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. Her style is the epitome of refined elegance, always polished yet full of personality. One particularly memorable moment was her 2022 polka dot look by Alessandra Rich. It was beautifully considered and felt both timeless and modern. What would your advice be for the hat-phobic? Do you recommend staying within a colour palette, or choosing a shade that contrasts with your clothes? I find people either love or hate hats but of course they're a staple accessory when it comes to Ascot. For those feeling unsure, I always suggest starting with something understated and timeless, like a pillbox hat; elegant, minimal, and effortlessly chic. Percher styles are another wonderful option; smaller in scale, they offer impact without overwhelming. An easy way to tie your hat into your outfit is by highlighting a particular colour. This subtle approach keeps your look cohesive and adds a nice touch of coordination. Royal Ascot runs from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 June 2025.
