Alexa Chung Brings Moody Glamour in Purple Leather at Burberry’s Winter 2026 Show

There’s something about Alexa Chung at a Burberry show that feels inevitable. She doesn’t just attend London Fashion Week. She belongs to it. At the Burberry Winter 2026 show, staged along the Thames with Tower Bridge glowing behind her, Alexa delivered a front-row moment that was sharp, sleek, and just a little icy.

The centerpiece was a deep purple leather Burberry coat that did all the heavy lifting. Double-breasted with oversized lapels and a belted waist, the coat hit high on the thigh, almost reading as a dress. The leather had a subtle sheen that caught the city lights, giving it dimension without veering flashy. The sleeves finished with soft fringe detailing that moved slightly as she walked, adding texture to an otherwise structured silhouette. The shade itself was rich and moody. Not loud. Not novelty. Just confident.

She styled it with Miu Miu Regard cat-eye sunglasses in a brown tint, giving the look a retro edge. In hand, a small black Burberry Bridle clutch with gold hardware kept things minimal and polished. On her feet, classic black Burberry leather baby pumps grounded the look. Rounded toe, modest heel, nothing exaggerated.

Hair was slicked back in a wet-look style, which made the outfit feel even more deliberate. Makeup stayed clean and pared back, brushed brows, fresh skin, a hint of gloss. No distracting jewelry. No unnecessary layers.

What works here is commitment. The coat is the statement. Everything else supports it. It’s not a “friendly” front-row look. It’s cool, controlled, and unmistakably Alexa.

Would I wear purple leather to a winter show? Maybe not. But on her? It’s exactly right.
