In a stylish twist of fate, actress Patsy Kensit has landed a major fashion campaign with British heritage brand Burberry, stepping into a spotlight recently occupied by her famous ex-husband, Liam Gallagher.
From Rock 'n' Roll to Runway: The Gallagher Legacy
Last year, former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, 53, featured in Burberry's summer 2025 advertising campaign. The festival-themed shoot, which also included models Cara Delevingne and Alexa Chung alongside Gallagher's three children, celebrated the idea of 'always Burberry weather'. This high-profile gig came on the heels of his band's massively successful global tour, which reportedly earned an estimated £400 million from 41 shows.
Kensit's Burberry Debut
Now, Patsy Kensit, 57, is making her own mark with the iconic label. The actress, who was married to Gallagher from 1997 to 2000, citing his 'unreasonable behaviour' as grounds for divorce, has been revealed as one of the faces of Burberry's new spring campaign. She joins an esteemed list of British stars like Kate Winslet and Olivia Colman who have fronted campaigns for the brand.
While this is Kensit's first official modelling role for Burberry, she is no stranger to its world, being a frequent fixture on the brand's front row at fashion shows. Notably, she attended London Fashion Week last February to watch her son with Gallagher, Lennon, 25, walk in the Burberry autumn/winter 2025 show.
A 'Traitors'-Inspired Aesthetic
The aesthetic of Kensit's shoot marks a distinct departure from Gallagher's festival vibe. Photographed against a backdrop reminiscent of a remote Scottish castle, her look features a knee-length kilt, black riding boots, and a quilted jacket. The ensemble has drawn immediate comparisons to the wardrobe of Claudia Winkleman from the hit BBC1 show, The Traitors.
This connection may be a strategic masterstroke. Retailers have identified a powerful 'Claudia effect', where items worn by Winkleman on television frequently sell out or see a significant spike in sales. Burberry is likely keen to harness this influential trend for its spring 2026 collection.
The parallel campaigns highlight a fascinating post-marital convergence in the world of high fashion. While their personal history is complex, both Kensit and Gallagher have cemented their status as muses for one of Britain's most famous designer brands, proving that style, much like their story, continues to capture public attention.
