Nice hat! Who was dressed to impress in Radio 2's backstage oasis?

It was a gorgeous late summer's day in London, perfectly chiming with the 'garden party' theme of Radio 2's backstage compound. Boaters, blazers and floral print dresses were the order of the day for most of the performers and presenters, although a few more pessimistic stars obviously came expecting more typical British weather...

Andreya Triana

The neo-soul singer set the sartorial standard early doors with this eye-catching robed jacket and matching teal nail polish.

Ken Bruce

Looks like our Ken's come straight from the Last Night of the Proms. Of course, the hat is a actually a very sensible option for blazing sunshine...

LeAnn Rimes

Like a 21st century Daisy Duke, LeAnn Rimes brought a touch of country and western elegance to Hyde Park.

Simon Mayo and Bob Harris

Sticking with the country and western theme, Bob Harris took to the stage to introduce LeAnn in this incredible embroidered blazer. Dig the paisley waistcoat too, Bob. Simon Mayo just can't compete.

Jo Whiley

Looking stunning as always. A vision in mauve and scarlet!

Craig Charles

Craig went full bushman for his energetic mid-afternoon DJ slot. Just call him Crocodile Charles.

Ruaridh Jackson

Who said rugby players didn't have style? We give you Harlequins' Ruaridh Jackson and his impeccably maintained beard.

Status Quo

It's the Quo! At least one of them got the floral shirt memo...

Vanessa Feltz

Now that is what we call a serious floral print. Nice work, Vanessa.

Travis

Full marks for Fran's boater but did Dougie really need his trademark tartan scarf on a day like this? Perhaps Travis assumed it would rain on them.

Gregory Porter

The ever-dapper Gregory Porter. Full marks for that polka dot hankie.

And finally...

Radio 2's best-dressed all together. And proof that there was real sun outside of the backstage oasis!
