Keely Hodgkinson and Katarina Johnson-Thompson swap the running track for the front row as sports stars reign supreme at the Burberry London Fashion Week show

Keely Hodgkinson and Katarina Johnson-Thompson swapped the running track for the front row at the Burberry LFW spring summer 2027 catwalk show on Monday.

A host of stars arrived at the Chelsea College of Art before taking their seats for the final day of London Fashion Week.

The athletes ditched their sportswear for chic suits and matching Burberry handbags as they reigned supreme on the FROW.

Keely, 24, who powered to 800-metre victory and secured £50,000 in prize money last weekend, flashed her toned midriff in a satin shirt.

British runner Dina Asher-Smith, 30, was also seen at the catwalk wearing a tailored short trench coat and glitzy trousers. 

Also in attendance were the likes of model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Iris Law, Gemma Chan and Adolescence star Stephen Graham and his wife Hannah. 

The show coincided with Burberry celebrating its 170th anniversary and the collection has been designed by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee.

London Fashion Week ran from Thursday, September 17 to Monday, September 21.

Organised by the British Fashion Council, this season's event focuses on the spring/summer 2027 collections.

The Burberry show coincides with the opening of a new free exhibition at the V&A museum called The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon to mark the brand's 170th year.

It will display a series of the iconic coats from over the years as well as a vintage womenswear catalogue and the personalised label inside fashion designer Hardy Amies's own Burberry coat.

The V&A website reads: 'This free display offers a concise history of the Burberry trench coat from its origins as practical outerwear and military attire to a world-renowned icon of fashion, rooted in a contemporary British sensibility and celebrated globally.' 

The exhibition will run until January 3 2027. 

The Burberry show comes hot on the heels of the star-studded Alexander McQueen show on Sunday night.

It attracted the likes of Emma Corrin, Lila Moss, Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall and Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke. 

Another highlight from the week included M&S making its London Fashion Week debut with a star-studded show attracting the likes of Joan Collins and Katherine Jenkins. 

Last Friday the iconic brand marked 100 years since it first launched its clothing collection, with a string of stars gracing the front row at the Design Museum for its first ever runway show.

Leading the pack was legendary actress Joan, 93, who showed off her age-defying appearance in a chic black pencil skirt while sat in the front row.

The Dynasty icon posed in a stylish white satin blouse while she chatted to Welsh singer Katherine at the event.

Taking a break from her Parliamentary duties, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch was also in attendance in a stylish dark blue suit.

Kemi has previously offered her backing to help save the British High Street, stating Conservatives would reduce the welfare bill to free up money to 'properly support local businesses'.

In a recent Facebook post, she said: 'By cutting the welfare bill back to pre-covid levels, my team will free up the money to properly support local businesses.

'That means scrapping business rates for pubs, restaurants and high street shops around the country, giving a lifeline to the people who create local jobs and support local communities.'

No doubt enjoying a chance to mix with the showbiz world, Kemi chatted to legendary actress Joan before posing for a snap with her. 

Also in the audience were sports personalities Jamie Redknapp – accompanied by his wife Frida – and Ian Wright, as well as model David Gandy and Capital Breakfast radio hosts Sian Welby and Jordan North.

On the runway itself, Liam Gallagher's son Lennon showcased Marks' men's collection and his proud cousin Anais watched on from the front row.
