Anyone who is a long-time reader of H&G's celebrity style section will know there's one trend that notable figures keep returning to despite the changing years. Bookshelf wealth first established itself (as a term, at least) last February, and since then, we've loved seeing how celebrities style their nooks and shelves. The discovery of Billie Jean King's bookshelves, however, has brought this trend into 2025.
Firstly, the former world No. 1 tennis pro styled her duck egg blue shelves with the most classic of all accessories and books, but in varying shapes – styling the top shelf with horizontal titles and the lower shelf vertically. The bottom two shelves are notably more eclectic, exhibiting a curated selection of decorative vases, bowls, and stationary (suggesting this example of bookshelf wealth is in her home office instead of her living space). It also feels personal to King without looking cluttered or incohesive.
