London's social season in July is a vibrant and exciting time when the city comes alive with a bevy of glamorous events and gatherings. From high-profile sporting tournaments (namely Wimbledon) to prestigious boutique launches, July offers a range of activities for It-girls and VIPs to indulge in. London during July showcases the city's elegance, sophistication, and unique atmosphere of grandeur and excitement.
Here’s who made it on the guest list of this month’s swankiest soirees...
Kate Moss x Diet Coke
Diet Coke was fashion's favourite fizzy drink for a long time, so Kate Moss hosting a DC party is every sartorial fanatic's dream. The supermodel and creative director of Diet Coke hosted the coolest party at the Frameless art gallery, to celebrate season two of her campaign 'Love What You Love'. VIPs got a first look at the brand-new TV advert in an immersive experience, whilst music was provided by none other than DJ Fat Tony.
BFC Summer Party 2023
Which summer party has the ability to bring together fashion royalty, actual British royalty, and various other VIP tastemakers? The British Fashion Council's. Managing Director Caroline Rush hosted an illustrious party at the Serpentine Gallery, which is always guaranteed to be a sartorially exquisite affair. Lady Amelia Windsor opted for an all black ensemble whilst presenter Zeze Mills wore the coolest double denim separates set, and Hello! Fashion's Digital Editor Natalie Salmon hung out with Lydia Zacharis and ByRotation founder Eshita Kabra-Davies.

Tastemakers from the fashion, art and interiors gathered by the riverside in London to celebrate the launches of Ulla Johnson and Cabana's latest capsules, available only at Net-A-Porter. The intimate evening consisted of food from Michelin-starred chef Skye Gyngell, whilst the tablescape paid homage to Cabana's botanical-patterned homeware capsule adorned with stunning summery florals by female florist, Worm. Many of the guests were dressed in Ulla Johnson, including styles from its exclusive High Summer ’23 capsule collection. Dreamy.

What do you get when you mix aristos, racing drivers and the who's who of Netflix? A cracking good Goodwood party. Hosted by his grace, the Duke of Richmond (who was looking remarkably calm after bad-weather forced the closure of the track on Saturday) and Cartier UK's Managing Director Laurent Feniou - the lunch welcomed tastemakers and winners of Goodwood x Cartier Concours d'Elegance. Emily in Paris star Ashley Park cosied up to her co-star and rumoured IRL boyfriend Paul Forman while Queen Charlotte's India Ria Amarteifio admired the cars on display. Not to mention The Crown's Emma Corrin, who wore the most event-appropriate outfit of all time... It was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but make it fashion, and we couldn't get enough.
