Best Street Style of 2025

Words by PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival

The sun was pumping during our Premium Runway week, but that didn’t stop our Festival community from bringing their style A-game every single day.

Thousands of people with unmatched creativity made their way through our Fashion Forecourt supported by City of Melbourne, located directly outside the Royal Exhibition Building at the official Home of the Festival. No one hid from their version of self-expression. We saw lots of lace, ties, denim, DIY pieces, clashing patterns, and the full embrace of colour and maximalism.

Compiled for your viewing pleasure below is some of the best street style at PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival. See if you can spot yourself or someone you know.

Huge thank you to our street style photographers for the week: Ben Dowd, Dan Castano, Liana Hardy, Liz Sunshine and Suleiman Thomas.
