Cheltenham Festival fashion: the best dressed guests at the 2025 races
And so begins another year of top-tier horse racing, starting with the 2025 Cheltenham Festival.
Of course, every racegoer knows that it’s not just the action on the track that has everyone talking – the fashion stakes are just as high.
A highlight of the British social calendar, Cheltenham is where heritage elegance meets modern sophistication, with racegoers embracing timeless tweeds, luxurious outerwear, and statement accessories perfect for the unpredictable March weather.
Last year, festival bosses announced that Ladies Day – the day that traditionally encouraged women to dress to impress – would be known as ‘Style Wednesday;’ from 2024. The historic move demonstrates the important role fashion plays in the event, with an entire day of the sporting festival dedicated to showcasing sartorial individuality.
From royals and aristocrats to celebrities and stylish attendees, this year’s festival is delivering an impeccable display of country-chic dressing.
