Lila Moss and Romeo Beckham lead the St Clement Hotel bash
The afterparty served as a gathering for some of the industry's most famous offspring, often referred to as "nepo babies." According to the report, 23-year-old Lila Moss, daughter of Kate Moss, attended in a silver sparkly minidress, while 25-year-old Iris Law, daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, opted for a more casual white T-shirt. Romeo Beckham, 24, attended alongside his girlfriend, 25-year-old Kim Turnbull, who wore leather trousers and a beige jacket.
The guest list extended beyond the immediate circle of fashion heirs. The event saw appearances by actress Eve Hewson, the 35-year-old daughter of Bono, who was spotted with Rachel Brosnahan and Fiona Shaw. Other notable attendees included model Jodie Turner-Smith, actress Gemma Chan, and athlete Keely Hodgkinson, signaling a blend of sports and cinema presennce at the Burberry event.
Burberry's 170th anniversary and the V&A's Trench exhiibition
The festivities are part of a larger milestone for the luxury house, as Burberry celebrates its 170th anniversary. To mark the occsaion, the brand has launched a free exhibition at the V&A museum titled "The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon." This exhibition showcases the evolution of the brand's most famous coat, including a vintage womenswear catalogue and a personalized label from the coat of designer Hardy Amies.
This celebration of heritage provides a stark contrast to the forward-looking nature of the catwalk. By anchoring its 170-year history in a public museum space while simultaneously hosting exclusive parties for the young elite, Burberry is attempting to balance its legacy as a British institution with its need to remain relevant to Gen Z and Millennial audiences.
Daniel Lee's leather-focused Spring/Summer 2027 collection
The creative direction for the season was led by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee. As reported, the spring/summer 2027 collection, organized by the British Fashion Council, leaned heavily into specific textures; fashion expert Laura Craik noted that Burberry specifically "checked out the leather look" for this season.
The front row of the Chelsea College of Art show reflected the brand's wide reach, featuring stars such as Jason Statham and his fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.. The appearance of athletes like Katarina Johnson-Thompson alongside actors like Stephen Graham suggests that Daniel Lee's vision for Burberry is one of broad , cross-industry appeal, moving the brand beyond the traditional confines of high fashion.
Lila Moss's struggle against the H&M show 'cold shoulder'
Despite the glamour of the Burberry afterparty, the event highlights a recurring tension for second-generation stars trying to establish independent careers. Lila Moss has reportedly faced significant social friction within the modeling community. The report mentions that Moss was "given the cold shoulder" by other models during H&M's London Fashion Week show on Friday night.
This dynamic reflects a broader trend in the fashion industry where the "nepo baby" label creates a paradox: while family connections provide immediate access to the front row, they can alienate the individual from their peers.. A source cited in the report claims that Moss has confided in friends that she is often ignored backstage, despite her efforts to be booked through standard channels without requesting special treatment.
The silence from Lila Moss's representatives
While the report details the "vile and icy treatment" Moss has allegedly endured, several key points remain unverified. Specifically, the Daily Mail has approached the representative for Lila Moss for comment,but no official response has been provided to confirm or deny these claims of backstage isolation.
Furthermore,the source of the claims regarding Moss's loneliness remains an unnamed "source," leaving it unclear whether these experiences are widespread or isolated incidents. Without a statement from the other models involved or Moss's own team, the narrative of the "isolated nepo baby" remains a one-sided account of the industry's internal social hierarchy.
