LONDON—A stampede of A-list stars, fashion icons, and people-who-just-look-famous descended upon Tate Britain for Burberry’s Winter 2025 fashion show. If you thought Burberry was just about trench coats and plaid, think again—this collection was serving “rich people running away to the countryside to play pretend peasants for the weekend” realness.
The Guest List? A+ Tier With a Dash of ‘Wait, What Are They Doing Here?’
Nicholas Hoult showed up looking like the suave British gentleman he was born to be, while Orlando Bloom reminded everyone he’s still got that elf-like charm. Stranger Things lovebirds Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer attended too, possibly looking for an alternate dimension where people don’t ask them about season five spoilers.
Other big names? Jodie Turner-Smith, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz (because of course), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (serving effortless elegance as usual), and Thomas Doherty (probably breaking hearts just by existing).
The Clothes? Oh, You Mean the ‘Weekend Escapee’ Aesthetic?
Burberry’s creative director, Daniel Lee, basically said the collection is inspired by rich people fleeing London for a “relaxing” weekend of rainy walks and pretending they don’t have Wi-Fi. Think: elegant trench coats that whisper “I drink tea that costs more than your rent,” scarves so luxurious they could file their own taxes, and daywear that looks effortless but definitely required a stylist.
Who Else Was There? Basically Everyone.
– Anna Wintour (obviously, the Queen Bee of fashion can’t miss a major runway)
– Kim Cattrall (giving “I’M BACK, BABY” energy)
– Lauryn Hill (probably fashionably late, as always)
– Jourdan Dunn (casually looking like a goddess)
– Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who? More like Doctor WOW)
– Russell Tovey, Taylor Hill, and a sprinkle of other stars who likely spent the night pretending they totally weren’t phased by the presence of British royalty… aka David Gandy.
And yes, Yungblud was there too, ensuring at least one attendee had “rockstar chaos” energy.
Burberry’s show was an elegant display of money, power, fashion, and people trying to look effortlessly chilly while secretly wondering where the nearest heater was. Cheers to another year of expensive coats and pretending we all understand high fashion!
