Cat Deeley's high street ballet flats were a chic alternative to trainers for the Chelsea Flower Show
She swapped florals for neutrals
Anyone who's been lucky enough to attend the RHS Chelsea Flower Show will know that flat shoes are a must. There's so much to see, you'll have walked thousands of steps before you know it!
A lot of people stick to dresses and trainers when deciding what to wear to the Chelsea Flower Show, but Cat Deeley's suede skirt and ballet flats combination particularly caught our attention on Monday.
Copy Cat's look
These premium leather ballet flats will form a chic footnote to any outfit, from summer wedding guest dresses to barrel leg jeans. I wear my woven Dune ballet flats all the time, because they're just so easy to slip on and go. I'm between sizes, and my recommendation would be to size down if you are too.
There's a reason raffia always comes back around at this time of year. Can you think of a single colour or outfit this neutral little clutch wouldn't work with? It's a cracking investment, and it's the ideal size for all your essentials. Don't forget to take a mini umbrella if you are heading to Chelsea!
A faux suede skirt is a year-round staple, and although it might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of the Chelsea Flower Show, Cat proved that neutrals can be just as stunning as florals.
The weather is still a little confusing, so a longline cardigan or coat like Cat's is a great idea for a bit of extra warmth. Darker colours can feel wintry at this time of year, but a fresh ivory or cream option will brighten your look.
You'll no doubt know British clothing brand Rixo for their incredible printed dresses, but are you aware they make the most amazing suede coats and skirts too? The metal detailing on the pockets of this one looks very designer.
M&S's air yarn pieces are super popular. This jumper is "spun with breathable air-yarn and a touch of wool", making it perfect for muggy spring days like today.
Cat's flats tick the high vamp ballet shoes trend, and one Dune shopper called them "Very high quality, buttery soft leather. Great cut too!"
They're also available in pretty pastel shades of blue, green and pink to help you master the spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026.
