The city was dressed. The streets were a catwalk. The guest list? Iconic.
London Fashion Week SS26 came in hot — and Voir had eyes on everything. From surprise runway cameos to members-only parties that blurred the lines between fashion and fantasy, the capital reminded the world why its fashion scene leads with both heritage and heat.
FROW Royalty & Scene-Stealing Cameos
While models glided down the runway, London’s celebrity set turned up the volume from the front row and beyond:
Elton John made a rare fashion week appearance at Burberry, causing literal neck-snapping energy as he took his seat.
Jerry Hall and Josephine de la Baume proved true icons walk the runway, not just sit front row — both appearing in the Completedworks show and serving quiet luxury with serious bite.
Troye Sivan brought the cool factor to The Standard x Aki London dinner, one of the week’s most talked-about evenings.
After Dark: Where the Real Fashion Week Begins
London didn’t sleep this season — and neither did its style set. The parties? Opulent. The guest lists? A lesson in exclusivity.
At Soho Mews House, Naomi Campbell DJ’d to celebrate Edward Enninful’s new platform, EE72, while Jade Thirlwall delivered a live set that had fashion editors rethinking their careers.
Naomi later joined Kate Moss at China Tang at The Dorchester to toast 20 years of champagne dinners and timeless decadence.
Chiltern Firehouse made a headline-worthy return with a Seventy One Gin party hosted by Mert Alas, where none other than Madonna was spotted holding court at the bar. Because why not?
Meanwhile at Annabel’s, the annual Amazon Gala paired high-glam with high-impact fundraising — and a surprise set from Ronan Keating that had the room on its feet.
This Season’s Moodboard: Capital Cool, Couture Energy
London’s SS26 vibe wasn’t just about the runway — it was a full sensory experience. Think heritage houses showing on toy store runways (yes, AK|OK at Hamleys), intimate dinners, secret gigs, and curated chaos that felt more like an art installation than a schedule of shows.
We’ll be unpacking the standout collections, backstage moments, and trend predictions all week on Voir Fashion — but for now? Consider this your invitation to the VIP recap.
