Another British babe, another Burberry gown, but a strong contrast in style to that of Suki Waterhouse: Lily Donaldson wore a minimal white dress with a daring cut at the sides, and a black velvet bow trailing behind to the 2014 Met Gala.

The red carpet of the Met Gala is always an extravagant affair. Sometimes keeping it pared back works best, though, and Suki Waterhouse got understated glamour just right. Her nude and soft pink layered silk organza gown was by Burberry.

In case you needed yet another example of how classy a crop top can be, look no further than a minimalist white skirt suit, worn by Amber Venz with just a hint of midriff bared and a hem that reaches mid-calf.

If you thought we were crazy by calling out backwards shirt buttoning as a “thing” then maybe this will convince you of otherwise. The spring 2014 fashion trend was worn by Cara Delevingne, who made doing up the top button only look completely sophisticated when paired with one of Burberry’s sublime sheer lace skirts.

A simple, understated winter look can always benefit from a touch of plaid, whether it’s Burberry or Burberry-esque in classic beige and charcoal tones. Worn with a simple black bag and boots, this model was photographed after the Laura Biagiotti show in Milan.

If there’s a trend in the works, it can be found in these two disparate brands. This snap of Antonina Vasylchenko in particular shows the scarf worn over one shoulder and belted, similar to the styling at Burberry. Beyond that…

The beauty look at the Burberry prorsum autumm 2014 show was subtle and soft: flowing, tousled waves and a just a hint of smokey eyeshadow in an autumnal aubergine hue. Polish beauty Ola Rudnicka posed for this portrait just after the show, looking ethereal with her fair eyebrows.
