Here are more photos from the Vogue World event in London last night, which was a premiere and preview of London Fashion Week. The attendance was spectacular and allllll of the British fashion girls and It Girls came out. Simone Ashley was serving LEGS in this Tamara Ralph Haute Couture look, which is bonkers. Ordinarily, I’m not into all of these “netting” styles, but look closely – that’s not netting, it’s all made of pearls. Incredible.
Sienna Miller wore Schiaparelli Haute Couture – she’s knocked up, obviously, and she looks like a swan. Or a goose. Or an ostrich?
Jodie Turner Smith wore Viktor & Rolf. She was one of two women (that I saw) wearing panties as outerwear. I mean, she’s Jodie and she kills most looks, but I would have chosen differently for her, if I was styling her.
Gemma Chan in custom Louis Vuitton – she’s an LV girl and this isn’t bad (for LV).
Georgia May Jagger in Vivienne Westwood. Hilariously silly.
Sabrina Elba in custom Fendi. Actually pretty great?
Maisie Williams in Maison Margiela. It’s a very British look [derogatory].
Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Roksanda. Actually one of my favorite dresses of the night, although I would have trashed the gloves.
Nicola Coughlan in Harris Reed. It’s costume-y and it looks heavy, but she’s having fun.

Hate every last one. Jody is looking try-hard at this point. Nicola looks like she’s meeting her coven. All the naked dresses are boring now. We’ve seen every variation.
I quite liked Gemma’s dress. It fit well and that fabric was intriguing and pretty.
I liked the style of Gemma’s dress, but not the fabric. I also like the color of Sabrina’s dress, but not the style (the underlining/structure) is throwing me off.
If this is what we’re wearing to gather with our covens these days, I really need to up my game.
I was almost tricked and bamboozled into watching Brigerton because of Simone Ashley — the stills of her and Jonathon Bailey had me by the throat. She is GORGEOUS.
The detail with the pearls were chef’s kiss. The white has her skin POPPING OFF. Just wow.
I recommend it! the second season had some issues, but the chemistry between her and Jonathan Bailey was off the charts.
Agreed. Season two is decently worthwhile, at least a lot of it. Though I fast forwarded through some boring parts. But none of those boring parts included Simone and Jonathan. And unlike season one, this is all about smoldering and waiting….Oof. Good stuff.
Wow, Sienna, Maisie , Georgia and Jodie’s outfits were hilariously bad. I enjoy these fashion events because people can go a bit wild and it’s super fun, but those are just soooo bad.
Simone is absolutely stunning, I’m very very over see through dresses but the craftsmanship is impeccable, even if those little dangly pearls at the bottom are giving me anxiety because they are so close to being stepped on lmao.
Simone Ashley looked incredible – her stylist got it right for once!
Dang, Simone. Stunning.
Simone looks beautiful, just stunning. Many of the women looked gorgeous. Even Jodi, whose dress was INSANE, looks great!
Is this Simone a model? Never heard of her.
Sienna’s outfit is not cute, but she’s glowing!
She’s an actress, I think she was on a Netflix show but most recently she was the female lead in the second season of Bridgerton.
Before Bridgerton she was on Sex Education (also Netflix).
While not a fan of the execution of sienna’s dress, I’m all for the normalisation of midriff baring or skin tight clothes for pregnancy – why are we supposed to wear shapeless sacks when pregnant??
When I was pregnant, I bough a couple of pregnancy clothes for comfort, including a bodycon dress. My mom was aghast, I had to remind her that pregnancy is not a shameful state…
I’m not a huge fan of midriff bearing when it comes to high fashion–not a pearl-clutching thing, just a personal preference. Pregnant women look cute in body con dresses. I’ve never had a baby but I’d be ALL about stretchy, form-fitting clothes.
I love Simone Ashley’s dress. I am also over those netting type of dresses but that looks gorgeous on her.
I actually really like Siena Miller’s dress. It’s just…..very her, lol.
I love Gemma Chan’s.
Can’t stand the rest, lol.
Tamara Ashley looks ah-maxing. Legs for days.
Jodie brought it. She just proved that she can wear ANYTHING and make it look good. I am loving her muscular legs.
Simone does look stunning but it has nothing to do with the dress, it’s because she’s stunning!
Most of these outfits are just ridiculous over the top costumes. It’s fine for an event like this but it’s all a blur of showing off and try-hardest. It’s like the first day of fashion school.
Loved Simone’s, Gemma’s, and Gugu’s dresses but didn’t like the rest. They are very beautiful women! I usually love everything Jodie wears but no, just no, and she needs some lotion on her legs. She has a killer figure though!
Nicola looks amazing. She brought it. It’s a Vogue event – I want to see FASHUN. Not just pretty dresses. Simone’s dress is pretty, but I’m over the whole sheer/see-through dress thing. Even when it’s done in pearls.
Simone and Gemma look amazing, but everything else here is literally insane.
I hate all of it. I think Jodi’s look could have been really fierce if there was more fabric on the bottom portion. Like, I love the bow wrapped around her but visually, it feels so unbalanced with what is essentially just panties on the bottom.
I enjoy seeing these outfits on red carpets but always wonder, for ones like the Simone’s, Sienna’s, etc. with an artistic flair, how do they maneuver during the event. Do the sit? Is it a standing event? What do the do if they need to use the toilet? 🤷♀️
Celebrity life is so over the top, highly untreatable in many instances. 😀
I enjoy seeing the silliness of the fashion parade….some work, some don’t. Gossip would be incredibly dull without this kind of post! Thanks CB!
that’s not a dress. that’s a swimsuit with some netting over it. she looks stunning but i think she would look stunning in a whole lot of things.
I wish I were not so over the “semi-sheer skirt over underwear” look, then I could enjoy Simone’s look because she is stunning. But I really am over it.
I kind of enjoy the costume-y outfits the most at an event like this. Maisie Williams just embraces all of the eccentric and youthful styles and I love that for her. Sienna looks like some kind of fertility goddess and I love that too.
I liked Simone on “Bridgerton” and I loved her chemistry with Jonathan Bailey, but I might be the only one here who preferred the first season to the second. It was fluff but it was fun. I hated the love triangle with the sisters in S2. It felt cruel and I don’t watch a show like Bridgerton for that.
Gemma’s dress is my favorite. However, I’m with a bunch of Lgbtqi people this afternoon: their favorite is Maisie Williams.
Simone Ashley is like Charlize Theron. It would take prosthetics and an extremely talented fx makeup artist to make her look bad. She is so gorgeous. That being said, I love everything but the shoes. I thought we were finally over the platforms?
JTS- meh. I think I could get on board if it wasn’t for the clown makeup. I don’t know why she consistently hides her pretty face like this.
I love Maisie’s look. Not bc I think it’s a great look or anything but bc it’s so Maisie. Fashion is about having fun and she’s always having fun. Wish Sophie Turner showed up and showed out like “eat it Joe!”
Simone looks breathtaking. She looks like a jewel adorned with other jewels.
Omg Simone, have a care for my heart. Damn.
Simone Ashley looks beautiful.
Jodie Turner Smith has an amazing body with gorgeous legs.
Gemma Chan can do no wrong on the fashion front.
