A host of elite football stars from both the men's and women's games converged on London on Monday evening for Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2026 show, marking a glamorous climax to this season's London Fashion Week. The iconic British fashion house staged its presentation at the historic Old Billingsgate Market in the City, a former fish market transformed into a dramatic setting with puddles dotting the runway and a miniature replica of the Tower of London as a centrepiece.
Star-Studded Attendance
Against this quintessentially English backdrop, it was fitting that several of the nation's international football talents were in attendance. Lionesses captain Leah Williamson led the charge, frequently seen as a brand ambassador for Burberry. She wore a pale pink silk bomber jacket paired with brown leather trousers, posing alongside fellow England international Curtis Jones of Liverpool.
Fashion Highlights
Curtis Jones showcased one of Burberry's leather overcoats over a shirt featuring the brand's signature check pattern, while his partner Saffie Khan opted for a cropped twist on the classic trench coat. The 25-year-old also mingled with other Premier League figures, including Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers, who were seated together on the front row.
Brand Ambassadors and Connections
Eberechi Eze, adorned in a two-tone silk bomber, has long been associated with Burberry, even wearing a custom suit from the brand for his wedding in June. His lavish celebration with childhood sweetheart Naima Corbin was featured in British Vogue, likely explaining his rapport with his other seatmate, Chioma Nnadi, the magazine's Head of Editorial Content.
Post-Match Celebrations
Both Jones and Eze arrived at the event buoyed by successful weekends on the pitch. Liverpool secured a last-gasp victory against Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal dominated in a north London derby. Eze, formerly of Crystal Palace, continued his scoring form against Tottenham, contributing to a 4-1 win for Mikel Arteta's side.
Respite from the Pitch
For Morgan Rogers, the fashion show offered a welcome break from the intensity of top-flight football, following Aston Villa's hard-fought draw with a resurgent Leeds United. The event highlighted the growing intersection between sports and high fashion, with these athletes embracing style off the field.
