Eurostar has a new look, celebrating European heritage in the most inclusive way to date
More than three decades have passed since Eurostar sent the first Brits zooming through the Channel Tunnel from Waterloo to Paris Nord. The international train service was one of the greatest game-changers in 20th-century travel, opening up a host of possibilities for business travellers, day trippers and time-poor adventurers alike.
A lot has changed since then, with the Eurostar service now connecting St Pancras International to an ever-increasing number of European destinations. The high-speed trains allow smooth trips to Lille’s charming Christmas markets, Amsterdam’s endless canals, Cologne’s fascinating museums and the glittering shores of Marseille.
One thing that hasn’t changed for some time, however, is the in-service aesthetic – something that, as of autumn 2025, is being given an overhaul as well.
In a glitzy catwalk show at Paris Nord on Tuesday 30 September, Eurostar unveiled its first new uniforms in over a decade, showcasing ‘heritage with a European twist’.
As of Wednesday 1 October, around 2,600 Eurostar team members across all routes don the new uniform, reflecting 30 years of heritage and French elegance designed by French designer Emmanuelle Plescoff, who previously worked with Christian Lacroix.
The new look pairs navy blue monochrome and simple cuts, Brussels and Amsterdam street art in the graffiti-print neckerchief and a nod to British self-expression with Green Dr Martens.
Efforts to create one of the travel industry’s most inclusive and versatile uniform collections mean staff have a 54-piece collection to choose from, suitable for all genders, body types and personalities. It’s the result of over two years of work, which invited 80 employees to contribute and co-create.
