Unforgettable Reactions: My Street-Style Photography Session in London.
When I wore this outfit during my street-style photography session in London, the reactions were immediate and unforgettable. People stopped me on the iconic Strand, near the cafes in Covent Garden, and in front of the Royal Opera House to ask where the dress was from. A few even said: “You look iconic.”
There’s no greater compliment than that—not just “stylish” or “pretty,” but truly iconic. It wasn’t about being trendy; it was about timelessness. However, receiving the complete look in its signature LK Bennett box was already a magical moment, but wearing it and embodying the brand’s heritage on the streets truly brought the story to life.
Embracing Authenticity: The True Meaning of Being ‘Royal Ascot Best Dressed
To me, being “Royal Ascot Best Dressed” signifies authenticity rather than extravagance. It’s about how a garment makes you feel: confident, beautiful, and true to your style. This look from LK Bennett achieved that. Likewise, the collection highlighted simple elegance, expert tailoring, and a perfect fit.
As a fashion editor and accredited press member of Royal Ascot, I have witnessed the transformative power of dressing well. On the other hand, this experience has reminded me that slow fashion, expert craftsmanship, and a strong personal perspective will always stand out. If there is one message I’d like to share with every woman reading this:
let fashion be a form of personal storytelling. Whether you choose to wear a fascinator or not, whether your dress is floral, tailored, or bold—own your elegance. Tailoring is more than just a fit; it’s a feeling.
Attending Royal Ascot 2025 reaffirmed my belief that fashion is a living art—an expression worn with purpose, joy, and individuality. Embrace the opportunity to reinvent yourself and celebrate your unique style.
Perhaps next year, it will be you who is named Best Dressed.
