Royal Wedding Fashion: Burberry for Samantha Cameron

The ceremony hasn't even begun, but Samantha Cameron's teal Burberry rouched dress is already sold out on Net-A-Porter.  One of the few guests who wasn't in a hat, Cameron chose a selection of Erdem jewels as hair accessories instead.

For a similar look, check out other Burberry offerings in yellow (the hue chosen by The Queen) and bold blue.

Close Encounters Of The Burberry Kind

Psst... Don't tell HRH Christopher Bailey but his staffers are actually wearing Rupert Sanderson!

[Scene: Earlier at ION Orchard, Singapore] A slim, effortlessly chic lady boards the escalator ahead of me. Close-cropped brunette pixie hair. She adjusts her Burberry wraparound-studded watch and I glance to check her shoes (an annoying habit that I have). Lo and behold, finishing her all-black ensemble is a pair of black satin Rupert Sanderson Margaretha pumps! I'd know those cut-out details anywhere.

I decide to shamelessly enquire if they're Rupert Sanderson. She's pleasantly surprised: 'How did you know?!' I gesture meekly at my slightly battered, but thankfully recently buffed, patent pumps from the same eponymous label. She chuckles, amused maybe.

'My feet were killing me so I wore these... though I really should be wearing Burberry... I'm with Burberry (you see). Are YOU wearing Burberry this evening?'

'Sadly, not tonight.'

'Oh really? Your necklace is very Burberry.'

She fingers my black slashed leather necklace, apraising the cluster of fringed blooms like a seasoned merchandiser.

I sputter: 'It's Alldressedup and the store's upstairs. Anyway, I'm not invited.'

'What a pity... ah well.'

And with a grin, she rejoins HRH's court.

I might not have had the privilege of attending Burberry ION this evening, but for the smallest of moments, I felt like I did.

Burberry ION: Sightings

Singapore model Celia Teh

Random shoes! I likey.

Singapore model Junita Simon - she of charmed ability to wear a trench as a dress and NOT look like a flasher.

Emma Watson Reinvented

Emma Watson has been on a bit of sartorial quest to distance herself from her Harry Potter roots. Sometimes these transition periods for child stars gets a bit nasty (Drew Barrymore/Macaulay Culkin anyone?) but I really have to applaud her, Christopher Bailey and Mario Testino for completely changing the way I look at her!
Pretty much didn't realise it was Emma Watson until reaching the penultimate paragraph in Bagaholic Boy's post on the campaign. WOW. She looks bloody amazing... makes me want to run out and friction burn my credit card on a Burberry trench.
