LAVISHLY DEMURE

Three hours before Burberry’s Spring 2025 show in London, watch as Nara and Lucky Blue Smith prepare for the grand affair. As they play around with a camcorder, regularly making use of extreme close-ups, the duo chat about their excitement for the show, their looks for the night, and their love for London. Nara sports an ‘undone updo’ paired with a ‘90s-inspired makeup look, while Lucky, experiencing cryo globes for the first time, relaxes as groomer Petra Sellge works her magic. The models and social media stars also reflect on their individual style journeys before stepping out in complementary leather Burberry trench coats.
