The Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's largest street party, saw an estimated two million attendees over the Bank Holiday weekend, with numerous celebrities joining the festivities in West London. The event, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, is known for its vibrant and flamboyant parade outfits.
Lady Amelia Windsor, a cousin of King Charles III, was noted for her fashion choice. The 31-year-old, described as a sustainable fashion advocate, wore a chartreuse tennis skort and tank top from the activewear range of sustainable knitwear brand PH5. The outfit, which retailed for £240, consisted of a £95 Gen 11 tank top and a £145 tennis skort. She paired the ensemble with leopard-print Ash-Addict sneakers costing around £210 and an Orla Kiely handbag. Windsor shared her experience on Instagram, describing it as a "joy-filled carnival, cosmos in the rain and a spot of pottery painting."
Among other notable attendees was Maya Jama, 32, who recently appeared in the Netflix series "The Gentlemen." Jama opted for a more casual look, wearing black denim shorts, a black vest, and a cream-and-navy jacket. She accessorized with a navy slogan baseball cap, dark sunglasses, and white trainers. Jama shared moments from the carnival, including drinking ginger beer and dancing during a DJ set.
Reality television stars Mica Harris, 21, and Samraj Toor, 25, from Love Island UK, also showcased colorful outfits. Harris wore a green bodysuit with denim hotpants, yellow trainers, and a blue-and-yellow headscarf. Toor donned a promotional t-shirt, grey shorts from the brand Shep Boys Never Die, and white sneakers, completing the look with a blue baseball cap worn backward.
However, not all celebrity outfits received positive attention. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was criticized for his attire, which was described as more suitable for a gym session than a major festival. Khan wore a casual polo shirt, navy blue jogging bottoms, and grey Adidas trainers. Singer Craig David, who performed at the event, also drew comments for his simple black t-shirt and ripped black jeans, which were deemed more scruffy than stylish.
The Notting Hill Carnival, which originated in 1966, is a significant cultural event celebrating Caribbean heritage in London.
