London Pride is a protest. It’s a celebration.

It’s also a time when LGBTQ+ people have an excuse to wear their most brilliant outfits, get seriously creative with makeup, and show up in style.

More than 1,000,000 people turned up to this year’s event, so we’re not going to even attempt to share every single brilliant style moment we spotted from the day.

But once you’re done enjoying all the dog pics and fancy getting some style inspiration from London’s best and brightest, you can check out a handful of some glorious fashion and beauty moments ahead.

Expect lots of sparkle, lots of drama, and a more-is-more colour palette.

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 02: A member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) community takes part in the annual Pride Parade on July 02, 2022 in London, England. The first Gay Pride march to be held in a UK city took place from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square, London on 1 July 1972 and was a carnival parade of protest against the inequalities suffered by LGBTQ+ people at the time. Attended by around 500 people, the event was heavily policed and a far cry from the tens of thousands of people who take part now, fifty years on. Although in recent years the Metropolitan police have paraded in uniform as part of the march, this year there have been calls for them not to attend, this is in part due to the botched investigation of the murders of four gay men by serial killer Stephen Port.
