Kate Bosworth at the London Fashion Week Burberry show: busted or cute?

I’ve said it before, and I shall say it again – Burberry is one of the best clothing lines out there. If I was a celebrity with my pick of the runway collections (and invitations to the shows), my first choice would always be Burberry. I feel like Burberry’s PR is usually pretty good too – their clientele is upscale, but not showy. It’s not like C-list Kardashians feel the need to own something Burberry, and yet Duchess Kate has a few Burberry coats, you know? They’re in a good place – worn by royalty and supermodels… and Kate Bosworth? That’s a failure of PR, having The Bos as one your front-run celebrity “gets”. But here’s The Bos in London for yesterday’s Burberry show – I’m assuming she’s wearing head-to-toe Burberry. And she makes it look like something out of K-Mart. Damn it, Bos!

Sidenote: The Bos has a Twitter account. She was shilling for Burberry all of yesterday, in addition to endlessly tweeting photos of herself like she’s the second coming of LeAnn Rimes.

Here’s Alexa Chung, looking less wonk-eyed than her appearance at the Stella McCartney show. I still don’t get why this girl is a thing, though.

And here’s Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry. Gah! I love this entire outfit. I want that jacket. I want those pants. The whole thing is gorgeous.

    I love Burberry….so classic! Rosie looks the best here.

  2. kazoo says:

    I loveeeee Burberry.

    Is that an owl on Kate’s shirt? Oh, um.

    • Marjalane says:

      What’s up with this owl thing anyway? Is it some fad that I’m unaware of? I’m seeing them everywhere and I’m not liking it… They freak me out.

    • Floridaseaturtle says:

      I thought it was just me, they are popping up everywhere all of a sudden. And, at the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I wondered if there was a dark thing behind it. I want to like owls, but they do creep me out sometimes. Think of like, the owl on the dollar bill and its orgin… Bohemian Grove. There are meanings behind symbols, since the beginning of time, so can’t rule it totally out. Rocawear has symbols that I totally believe are intentional, so…things do happen, and they start off looking all innocent sometimes. Anyway, I noticed they were all of a sudden popular too, about the same time I have been watching more History Channel, so…

      Other than all that, I like the bag in the last pic.

  3. Helvetica says:

    I don’t like kate’s shoes.
    And it looks like she doesn’t wear a bra

  4. Mirella says:

    I love that Kate & Rosie have the same stylist. Rosie looks fantastic & the Bos looks like, well, this.

  5. Lis says:

    I love how Kate Bosworth looks – from about shoulder level up and below her ankles.

    (Although her posture annoys me. Short of physical problems, grown ups should not do the “baby gazelle learning to walk” stance.)

    Apart from that? Not so much.

  6. Mary says:

    Yeah, not feeling the owl on Kate’s shirt. What is with the new fashion trend of animals on shirts? It reminds me of the horrid sweaters my mom would make me wear when I was a kid :p

  7. Tapioca says:

    “I still don’t get why this girl is a thing, though.”

    Hell I’m a Brit and we don’t know what she does either! But is it worse to be famous for being famous when you do nothing – Kate B. & Alexa – or FFBF with obvious media whoring (Kim K.)?

    They do all look lovely here though.

  8. Lis says:

    That might be the best that I’ve ever seen Rose W-H look. I actually get the appeal now.

    • Anne de Vries says:

      I agree. That closer photo with the half smile is the first I’ve seen her look anything more than vacant, and suddenly I’m like ‘hey, she’s actually cute’.

  9. mk says:

    Can we please stop putting heels on shoes like Hush Puppies, for eff’s sake? Burberry makes a killer tweed, but my 21 year old sisters should be wearing an owl shirt. She may be skinny, but her boobs are showing her age. You can’t be a sweater girl without something ‘better for the sweater’.
    Oh, and her Hestia Hair is Hideous.

  10. Ailine says:

    Has Kate gained weight? She looks different. Maybe she had a cosmetic procedure done because I can’t imagine her giving up painfully skinny for food and health.

    • Mirella says:

      No, the clothes make her appear that she’s gained weight.

      I agree, something is off with her face, I feel like her lips are huge.

      • ClumsyMe says:

        I also thought something was off about her face. Maybe her lips, I don’t remember her with huge lips.

      • Camille (The original) says:

        I’m glad others noticed her lips too, they definitely look bigger to me.
        And her face does look different to me too- softer, like she had gained a little weight maybe. It could just be the softer hair style though which looks pretty on her. Hate the outfit.

      • amc says:

        Someone on another site said KB lips resembled other lips and maybe that’s why hobbit man likes her so much…. I have to agree. Those two twitter sites are the biggest joke. Retweeting fugly pictures of her anorexic face is disturbing and desperate.

    • Rebane says:

      No, if anything her face and neck (the only parts of her you can really see) have gotten thinner. But I do agree that her lips look… off. Maybe it’s the lipstick? Probably it’s something she injected though.

  11. GoodCapon says:

    Her outfit looks cute from afar. Up close? Not so much.

    Clemence Poesy was not shown here, but IMO she was the best dressed!

  12. erin says:

    rosie’s eyes are seriously off kilter, in shannen doherty sort of way.

  13. hateonit. says:

    wth is with Kate’s hair it looks frizzy and uncombed :/ I stay far away from anything with animals on it. makes me feel juvenile. that whole outfit is pretty gross….Rosie on the other hand looks quite lovely. I think it’s funny because some days she looks deformed and some days she looks flawless. she’s got legs for days totally jealous about that 🙁

  14. Jackie says:

    i think rosie is gorgeous. LOVE her outfit.

  15. Agnes says:

    kate’s outfits is definitely something. separately, i dig both the skirt and the sweater, but together… wtf?

  16. Nessa says:

    Rosie looks amazing. She is gorgeous! Kate Bos looks like… Kate Bos.

  17. Sal says:

    Kate’s had her lips done. But you seriously underestimate her appeal to the fashion it crowd.

    • Bossy says:

      It’s all about starving yourself down to a size 0. That and she’ll plug anything and everything that keeps her name out there. It never fails that her posts are always filled with what brands she’s wearing/carrying. When you want to make a name for yourself in fashion and you don’t look like Rosie, your only choice is to pimp out anyone/thing that’ll give you freebies. And Bos knows all about pimping.

  18. Bossy says:

    Bos always looks like she bought her clothes off the clearance rack at K-mart. She tries so hard and just can’t pull it off. The fragile waif look just doesn’t cut it anymore, Rosie looks fantastic, nothing waifish about her. I agree that Cher must play favorites, Rosie always looks great and Bos just looks like…well, Bos.

  19. Cerulean says:

    Yes, Bos looks budget. The peices are nice but she cheapens everything she touches including AS when he was with her. Rosie looks great though. Not a fan but she looks good. The Chung girl is just…some chick with a PR team. I was hoping that trend would end.

  20. spinner says:

    Oh look…another celebration of anorexia.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      haha I almost didn’t even notice they all have that (appearance) in common with one another.

  21. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Kate may look disheveled with that combo, but look at the girl’s hair and face. Can’t argue that she is so fresh, young and healthy looking. Almost like a soft angel. So pretty.

    Rosie is pretty also, but Alexa…ugh. I don’t understand how she is a thing either.

    • Sal says:

      Lol wait are you serious?? She was gorgeous when she was younger, but now her face looks terrible, especially in close ups. You can see how much makeup she piles on, but her waxy skin and lines still show through.

    • Mirella says:

      Yes, it called chemical peels, botox & makeup.

  22. Franny says:

    Kate’s hair and makeup looks great. Loose and flowy and pretty.

    I’m not usually the biggest fan of Rosie, but I do love this outfit – it looks so comfy and chic and stylish all at once.

  23. TXCinderella says:

    I like Kate’s oufit, not the owl on the sweater, but the style of the outfit itself. It looks cute and kind of French inspired. Her shoes do not go with the outfit at all though, black booties would have been much better. Did notice that Rosie eyes are not symmetric.

  24. Blue says:

    I love Rosie’s outfit. It looks so comfy and not over done.

  25. k says:

    The owl sweater looks like it came from Forever 21.

  26. HadleyB says:

    I think Burberry is way over priced for what it is .. I’ve tried many a trench from Burberry and while nice .. not worth over 1k IMHO. Maybe 300 but the rest is just the name.

    Over all I think the line is boring. The handbags are to me a higher priced Coach.

  27. Julie says:

    OMG love Rosie’s outfit too. Very much! I’m going to see how much that is online if Burberry even sells online! I think Kates looks good here.

  28. The Original Mia says:

    The Bos looks odd. From the weird stance to the shallowness of her eyes to her humongous lips to that rat’s nest hair. Rosie on the other hand looks great. I want everything she’s wearing, especially that coat.

  29. Samba says:

    I think Bos just gets the leftovers. She’s not doing the Burberry brand any favors. Rosie’s outfit is great, tho.

    • Sal says:

      No actually she probably gets first pick, as she’s been shilling Burberry for years now. Hate her all you want, but youre completely wrong.

  30. Aiobhan says:

    I really like all of the outfits in these photos- even the owl sweater. It is so eighties but those sweaters were really cool to me. I don’t understand Kate’s ugly shoes.

    Rosie is really cute. I want her entire outfit.

  31. marie says:

    The outfit would look nice without the dumb owl.

  32. marie says:

    What is wrong with that Rosie girls eyes????

  33. Original Chloe says:

    Not a fan of Bos but I’m gonna say cute.
    So shoot me.

  34. I Choose Me says:

    I kinda like the Bos’ skirt bow and all and I usually effing hate bows on anything. The sweater and shoes are fug and what’s with the hair?

    Love, love, Rosie’s entire outfit and that bag is seriously giving me envy pangs as well.

  35. Bobby sue says:

    I just don’t understand what happened to KateB. So tan, fit and beautiful in Blue Crush… I thought for sure she’s be the next big IT girl. She’s just emaciated and ill looking now; her face looks like it’s melting south…that sort of lumpy odd sallow face anorexics get. It’s completely destroyed her beauty. Ugh, so sad.

  36. Sasha says:

    The Bos is not a fail in fashion at all. She’s quite a fashion it-girl and she would actually boost the image of a brand by wearing them.

    I think she looks great here as well. Love the little owl jumper. I think she has great style.

    • Rebane says:

      Then the fashion it crowd really is seeing something that the rest of us are just incapable of comprehending.

    • cr says:

      Serious question: I know that she is considered a fashion icon in some circles. But does she have any influence outside that circle: she’s not a model and can hardly be considered a successful actress at this point.

    • lin234 says:

      Wow, there is a lot of Kate Hate here. I think she looks great and love her outfit. I found the owl a really cute touch.
      I’m completely neutral when it comes to her but I do think she’s pretty. She’s thin for sure but I think it works for her.

  37. ladybert62 says:

    Dont like any of the outfits shown above.

  38. Katyusha says:

    Awww, she’s got an owl perched in her belt.

  39. Sumodo1 says:

    I. Hate. Owls.

  40. Gwen says:

    Her face looks strange and she’s far too skinny, but I like the hair (for her it’s a good look) and the makeup too. I don’t like the shirt at all. If it makes her tiny boobs look so bad, I can’t imagine what it’ll do to a healthy body..

    Her twitter is very fascinating. It consists mostly of her and her lifepartner [sic] tweeting photos of her back and forth. It seems rather desperate to me..

  41. Emma says:

    That is not kate’s hair? It must be a weave her hair is usually very thin and un combed. And normally looks like straw.

    And what is with her outfit ? She is nearly 30 not some late teens early 20s why is she even invited to these shows ? fashion icon what a joke she cannot even dress her self eg coachella without a stylist?
    And I see her creeped out boyfriend polish was thereOMG what a down great from sexy Alexander skarsgard.

    • cr says:

      In looks, yes Polish is a downgrade. But, I think she’s found someone much more compatible: he’s more than willing to help her famewhore, which her previous bfs didn’t seem inclined to do. And in reading their tweets he’s as boring as she is. But they really do seem very into each other, so maybe this one’s a keeper for her.

  42. ema82m says:

    I really like Kate’s hair & make up the softer look works for her. Her outfit is horrid…the jumper is cute, would look great with jeans & the skirt is not too bad if it was worn with something else…but together it not good…& don’t get me started on those shoes!

  43. Bej says:

    Love Burberry, one of my favourite labels. I would love to own Rosies coat, but couldnt justify paying that much for something I’d never really have the chance to wear. I live in Queensland, Australia, and it rarely gets cold enough for a coat. Though that bag would be a welcome addition to my collection. Oh & I like the owl on Kates sweater, for my daughter though.

  44. Denise says:

    She is wearing Burberry Prorsum AW12, from the show. She’s very underweight yet she still can’t pull off the tucked and belted sweater so well. Goes to show just how skinny the models really are. I can’t imagine that when she left the hotel her hair looked like that!

    • cr says:

      Her hair was done professionally:
      ames Brown london @JamesBrown_LDN
      I just did kate bosworth hair my god she is gorgeous and I love working with her its always FUN !

      Having just looked at the runway pics for Burberry, they’re lots of owls. And they look even stupider on the models than they do on Kate, if that’s possible.
      I think my problem with the owl is context and size. The owl sweater doesn’t look good with an outfit that is otherwise fairly dressy-casual. It would look better with jeans. OTOH, if you had a much smaller owl it might work. Might.

  45. Tams says:

    Kate’s shoes = atrocious with the rest of her outfit. Her look would almost have been salvageable with the right pair of shoes

  46. taxi says:

    Bos is pigeon-toed & needs a bra.

    Have disliked her since she bragged during one of her earliest magazine interviews that her “family is practically American royalty.”

  47. Shannon says:

    I like the Bos’s hair like this, it looks a bit less limp & sad. She has dead eyes though, & it’s creeping me out. Her face maks her look like she’s in pain.

  48. woopidoo says:

    Where are the pictures of Clémence Poésy and Eddie Redmayne? love them ^^

  49. Sophie says:

    OMG she is so so pretty. Her hair looks amazing like that.

    Can girls with hair as thin as hers get a weave? It doesn’t look like her hair…but it’s hard to imagine how it could be fake when she had so little hair to begin with.

    So bummed she lost ASkars.

  50. Dhalia says:

    I am so happy Alexander skarsgard dumped her bony bum. He can do so much better then this HW left over who is now fit for the trash can

    Isn’t Alex dating his new Tb co star Lucy griffiths there was a golden globe vid of them in a car and also holding hands???

  51. donnadew says:

    Not much this pathetic creature can do with herself since she looks like she was made out of spare parts: huge Sony Triniton head balanced on a long, white stalk of a neck. (Really, she should wear a tomato cage on her shoulders to keep from tipping over. ) Then there are the enormous hands and feet plus outsized football player’s knees,all jumbled together on a scrawny malnourished frame. No matter what she wears it doesn’t detract from her general freakishness–how could it? It just dumbfounds me that she thinks she’s so drop-dead gorgeous that she poses proudly at any event she can beg an invitation to, pigeon-toed and smirking, like she’s a valuable addition to the proceedings. This is what utter narcissism looks like. And it ain’t pretty.
