Celebrity Easter celebrations ranked from cheesy to elegant – from one TV presenter’s ‘dated’ unfold to an A-lister that’s ‘surprisingly excessive avenue’

From daffodils to bunny shaped napkins and festive garlands, it’s easy to drown in pastels and egg-shaped gimmicks when it comes to Easter decorations – and it seems A-listers are no different.

As the long weekend continues to bring together families for hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and a hearty roast lamb, one interiors expert has shared her verdict on which stars kept it classy, and which steered into ‘dated’ with their spring decor.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jordana Ashkenazi said it’s clear when celebrities have opted for simple, elevated styles that make their lunch spread seem ‘effortlessly chic’ versus more ‘overdone’ ones which throw the festive Easter theme in your face.

It includes a reality star whose ‘restaurant quality’ food was complemented by ‘a beautiful, quaint cottage setting’ and an English presenter who nailed her Easter celebrations abroad.

Meanwhile, one TV personality didn’t quite land with her ‘clunky’ decorations which looked ‘straight out of a box from 1989’ – and another cleaning influencer fell flat with a ‘fun but basic’ set-up.

Read on for Jordana’s verdict on who achieved Easter excellence – and who failed to impress…

RUTH LANGSFORD 

Jordana: ‘Ruth Langsford has fully embraced Easter styling this year, but for me, this just does not land.

‘Yes, we get it. Daffodils, yellow tones, spring florals. It is all very on theme. But the execution feels completely overworked, with rows of identical vases repeating the same idea again and again, with no variation, no contrast and no sense of edit.

‘And then come the decorations. This is where it really starts to fall apart.

‘The bunny and chick ornaments feel like they have been pulled straight out of a box from 1989. You know the ones. Slightly cutesy, slightly kitsch, very high-street, and not in a good way. It is giving strong “these come out every Easter without question” energy, and not in a nostalgic, charming sense, more in a way that feels completely stuck in the past.

‘Set against that glossy dark sideboard, the whole thing feels even more jarring. Instead of looking fresh, elevated or even Instagram-worthy, it just feels cluttered, confused and, frankly, a bit dated.

‘This is a perfect example of where less would have been so much more.’

Verdict: Dated, not cool

ELIZABETH HURLEY 

Jordana: ‘Elizabeth Hurley proves you don’t always need a full Easter tablescape to make an impact.

‘There’s something refreshingly simple about this. Beautiful spring flowers, a classic Lindt bunny which, let’s be honest, is always a win, and just a genuinely happy, relaxed moment. It feels less styled and more real, which is quite rare at this level.

‘And of course, she looks incredible. At this point, she is the aesthetic.

‘Her son is a complete mini-me as well. They genuinely look like twins, and every photo of the two of them just feels effortless and sweet.

‘It may not be the most theatrical Easter setup we’ve seen, but sometimes you don’t need it.’

Verdict: Simple, charming, and carried entirely by her presence

MRS HINCH 

Jordana: ‘Mrs Hinch has fully leaned into Easter this year, and you can see there is a real sense of fun behind it.

‘The life-size bunny, which I am fairly convinced could have a person inside it, the balloons, the playful touches, it is all very family-focused and clearly about creating a moment for the kids. And in that sense, it absolutely delivers. It feels happy, relaxed and full of energy.

‘But from a design perspective, this is where it starts to fall short.

‘The decorations themselves feel quite basic. The oversized balloons and novelty pieces give it more of a party shop feel than anything curated or elevated. It is very much high-street Easter, rather than anything design-led.

‘It almost feels like those classic seasonal decorations you pick up in a rush, bring out every year, and never quite update. There is nothing wrong with that, but visually, it does not translate as anything particularly stylish or considered.

‘There is very little layering, no contrast, and no real sense of composition. It is all quite one-note, which is why it ends up feeling a bit flat.

‘That said, I do like that she is embracing the moment and not taking it too seriously. And you can clearly see her world influencing things, especially with her homeware presence in store right now, which adds a nice personal tie-in.

‘For me, it is big on effort and spirit, but low on execution.’

Verdict: Fun but basic

GEMMA COLLINS 

Jordana: ‘Gemma Collins really knows how to do Easter, and I will be honest, GC, I think my invite got lost in the post.

‘While we have not seen the finished lunch table, what we can see is all in the preparation, and it is seriously impressive. From the cooking to the overall styling, she has clearly put time and thought into creating something that feels generous and well considered.

‘The food looks restaurant quality, with proper ingredients and a real sense of occasion rather than something thrown together last minute.

‘The decorations are where she really stands out. The Easter wreath is beautifully done, and the exterior styling shows real effort. It feels abundant, welcoming and very on theme without tipping into anything overly staged.

‘What is particularly strong here is how she has carried the Easter feel across locations. It starts at home with the preparation and styling, then moves seamlessly into the Cotswolds at a beautiful, quaint cottage setting, before she even pops in to celebrate with Jessica Wright and her family. It feels cohesive, thought through and genuinely celebratory from start to finish.’

Verdict: Easter done right

STACEY DOOLEY 

Jordana: ‘Stacey Dooley is celebrating Easter in Sydney this year, and I am not mad about it.

‘For Easter, the sunshine and the views are doing most of the heavy lifting. Currently on a trip to Sydney, Australia, she kicks things off on Good Friday out on the water, with iconic harbour views and that laid-back, sun-soaked energy setting the tone.

‘By Sunday, she shifts gears into something more European in feel, settling into a long, leisurely lunch at Neptune’s Grotto. It is not traditionally Easter-themed, but it totally works.

‘The food looks spot on. Simple, well executed and beautifully presented, with proper plates, good proportions and that low, ambient lighting that instantly elevates the entire setting.

‘There is a real confidence in not overdoing it here. No forced décor, no obvious Easter styling, just a focus on atmosphere, quality and spending time well. And I love that she is spending this time with her gorgeous little girl. It feels like the perfect mummy-daughter trip, relaxed, special and genuinely memorable.

‘Stacey, pass me an arancini ball, I am suddenly feeling very hungry.’

Verdict: Effortless chic

JESS WRIGHT 

Jordana: ‘Jess Wright has taken a slightly different approach this Easter, and I cannot quite tell how much effort has gone into it from a hosting perspective.

‘Rather than entertaining at home, she has clearly taken things to a Cotswolds pub setting, letting the venue do the heavy lifting when it comes to both the food and the atmosphere.

‘And to be fair, it is a smart move. The setting is beautiful, all exposed brick, timber beams and that cosy countryside charm, so you are instantly getting that elevated feel without having to create it yourself.

‘The food looks exactly what you would want from an Easter weekend. Proper, traditional and indulgent, and the kind of thing that makes the whole experience feel like a treat.

‘There are still small Easter touches for the children, including a slightly questionable life-size bunny moment, which adds a playful element, but again, it feels like something the venue has provided rather than something she has styled.

‘If I am being honest, there is very little design intention coming from her personally here. It is much more about enjoying the setting than creating anything.

‘But maybe that is the point.

‘Not every Easter needs to be a full production. Sometimes outsourcing the entire experience is the luxury.’

Verdict: Low effort, high reward

VICTORIA AND DAVID BECKHAM 

Jordana: ‘I have to say, I am slightly confused by this one.

‘I love the idea of personalising everyone’s Easter eggs, it is thoughtful, playful and very family-focused. But visually, it does feel surprisingly high street. It is giving Cadbury’s rather than couture, which is not quite what you would expect from Victoria Beckham.

‘With a brand so rooted in luxury and refinement, you naturally anticipate something a little more elevated, perhaps a more artisanal or design-led take on Easter gifting. This feels more accessible than aspirational.

‘That said, it is undeniably sweet, and David leaning into the moment with bunny ears adds a bit of charm and personality.

‘It is a lovely idea, but for this level, I would have expected just a touch more elevation.’

Verdict: Thoughtful but unexpectedly high street

MOLLY-MAE HAGUE 

Jordana: ‘Molly-Mae’s Easter is very much on brand, soft, neutral, and effortlessly put together, even when she is quite literally rescuing overripe bananas.

‘There is something quite charming about the fact she has turned what most people would throw away into a full Easter baking moment. The banana bread and cupcakes feel homemade and thoughtful, which is a refreshing shift from some of the more overly styled setups this year.

‘She could have stopped at the loaf, but she has clearly had a serious banana situation on her hands. This is full commitment to the cause, cupcakes and all. It feels like those bananas have either been sitting in the fruit bowl for days or quietly stacking up in the freezer, and she has absolutely leaned into it.

‘It is nice, but it does not quite push into the more theatrical, playful side of Easter. That said, she may well have had a bigger spread that simply was not captured.’

Verdict: Clever but very banana-forward

VIOLET MANNERS 

Jordana: ‘Violet Manners’ Easter feels exactly as you would expect, traditional, slightly undone, and rooted in heritage rather than trend.

‘The table is layered with antique silver, classic linens and simple spring flowers, with daffodils doing most of the seasonal work. It is not overly styled or overly polished, but that is very much the point. There is a sense that this has been pulled together from what already exists in the house rather than created for the camera.

‘What is interesting is the contrast between the setting and the small Easter touches. The bunny basket feels almost deliberately playful against the backdrop of formal interiors and portrait-lined walls, which stops it from feeling too serious or rigid.

‘It does not try to be theatrical or overly curated, and that is where it works. It feels authentic, lived-in and quietly confident in its aesthetic.’

Verdict: Understated, traditional, and effortlessly on brand

VOGUE WILLIAMS 

Jordana: ‘Vogue Williams has taken Easter to St. Barts this year, and it really does feel like more of a family holiday than a styled Easter moment.

‘There are a few nods to it. Bunny ears, a bit of egg painting, the children fully leaning into it. But beyond that, it’s very relaxed and very low-key.

‘And honestly, when you’ve got that backdrop, you don’t need to overdo it. The sunshine, the setting, the whole atmosphere is doing the work for you.

‘It’s not theatrical, it’s not particularly styled, and it’s definitely not a “hosted” Easter in the traditional sense. But it feels real, easy, and genuinely family-focused.’

Verdict: More holiday than Easter, but sometimes that’s exactly the point

ROCHELLE HUMES 

Jordana: ‘Rochelle looks like she’s away somewhere glorious, but she hasn’t abandoned the classics.

‘Hot cross buns, bunny ears, family time, and a proper Sunday roast all still making an appearance. Simple, unfussy, and exactly how Easter should feel.’

Verdict: Bliss.
