London Fashion Week ended on a perfect 75-degree day, but that didn’t stop the front-row regulars at Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2027 show from layering up. Maybe because the British brand’s outerwear is so beloved, attendees ranging from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Jodie Turner-Smith styled leather looks more suited for February’s Fashion Month circuit. With colder forecasts fast approaching, though, the fall and early-winter wardrobe inspiration was more than welcome.
Autumnal leather looks, from Burberry’s creative director Daniel Lee, stole the show on the catwalk, too. During the spring runway show, the shiny material adorned cropped trench coats, bomber jackets, and track shorts—in a variety of earthy, cool-toned colors. Meanwhile, in the front row, Huntington-Whiteley, Gemma Chan, and Nara Smith created a sea of all-black attire. While Huntington-Whiteley revived the leather trench coat trend, the Crazy Rich Asians actor doubled up on calfskin styling in (what appeared to be) a statement jumpsuit.
That’s not to say all of the A-list spectators shared the same color story (we are looking at you, Turner-Smith and Fiona Shaw). Keep scrolling for Marie Claire‘s breakdown of the best leather looks at Burberry’s London Fashion Week show.
