Maya Jama Leads Burberry at London Fashion Week as Star-Studded Front Row Turns Out

Maya Jama stole the spotlight Monday night as she arrived at Hyde Park for Burberry’s show during London Fashion Week, commanding attention in a striking fringed black and navy gown that hugged her figure and showcased a plunging neckline. The presenter, 30, flashed a radiant smile for photographers, her blunt bob and black sunglasses completing a look that highlighted the skirt’s fringe detailing and long, flared sleeves.

She was not alone at the designer label’s high-profile presentation. Jodie Turner-Smith arrived in a black and white gown with feather-like detailing cascading over the skirt and sleeves, styling two black belts to cinch her waist and oversized hoop earrings. The actress wore victory rolls and bold graphic eyeliner, turning heads in a look that epitomized Burberry’s dramatic edge.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley followed in a dark navy blue leather trenchcoat cinched with a coordinating belt, projecting a cool, modern glamour. Iris Law, the 24-year-old model and daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, opted for a laidback, oversized silk shirt dress embossed with a paisley pattern, left unbuttoned at the chest and layered over a tan trench coat. She paired the look with strappy green heels and statement silver earrings. Lila Moss, 22, bore a striking resemblance to her mother Kate Moss in a classic little black dress and sheer tights, topped with a cropped trench-coat cape and Burberry-check heels.

Ellie Bamber joined the Burberry line-up in a khaki leather jacket that featured the brand’s iconic tartan on the lapels and hem, completing the ethos with skintight purple trousers and a blunt bob paired with sunglasses. The Love Island host and her entourage were seen among the fashion crowd, while Rosie’s fiancé, Jason Statham, attended in a black leather-panel jacket, adding to the star-studded atmosphere of the show.

The attendees extended beyond the immediate Burberry camp. RAYE arrived in a charcoal grey tailored coat belted at the waist, paired with a checked shirt, chunky boots and a red lip that flashed under the lights. Vanessa Williams, stepping into the role of Miranda Priestly in the West End adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, exuded sophistication in a tailored striped suit beneath a Burberry trench and a matching check handbag. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, credited by many for shaping fashion’s landscape, arrived with her signature fringed bob and shades, pairing them with a burgundy floral-embroidered trench.

Jonathan Bailey, known for Bridgerton, offered a poised contrast in a dark turtleneck and velvet trousers under a baggy woollen jacket, while his co-star Hannah Dodd wore a lacy black minidress with an edgy leather jacket to combat the autumn chill. Jourdan Dunn commanded attention in a cropped wrap-around cardigan that revealed her toned abs, pairing the look with a tartan maxi skirt, grey check stilettos and bold accessories including leather gloves, blue futuristic shades and large silver spike earrings.

Twiggy, 75, appeared in a sophisticated black suit and satin tie, perched in Perks Field for the Burberry show. Her husband, Leigh Lawson, 82, joined her as he spoke about the couple’s long marriage and ongoing creative work, sharing anecdotes that underscored a partnership now spanning more than four decades. Lawson, who has authored a poetry volume titled Now and Then, described their shared life—work and family—as the glue that keeps them connected. He also reflected on Twiggy’s continued relevance, noting she remains in demand by major publications and projects well into her 70s.

The Burberry presentation came amid a week of star-laden arrivals, with many attendees wearing the brand’s signature checks and trench silhouettes as London Fashion Week continues to showcase the season’s most talked-about looks. While the spectacle emphasized bold silhouettes and heritage patterns, the mood remained collaborative and celebratory, highlighting the industry’s ongoing appreciation for the interplay between media attention and fashion philanthropy.
