Thursday morning started off with a flurry of flashes thanks to Kylie Jenner, who was every inch the lady in red as she arrived at the Acne Studios morning show. The reality TV star and beauty mogul was unveiled as the new face of the brand in a mud-drenched shoot for its August campaign.

It was attended by the freshest faces of the Spanish house; contemporary actors Greta Lee and Taylor Russell, as well as singer Troye Sivan, model Emily Ratajkowski and Kris Jenner.
The Kardasian moments continued later in the day when Kim snuck into the waiting crowd at Victoria Beckham’s SS24 collection; Kendall Jenner walked the ball as the Beckham brigade (consisting of husband David, children Harper, Cruise and Brooklyn, and the latter’s wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham) applauded in the front row.

Saturday night was reserved for Alexander McQueen, who promised an all-star lineup to see off Sarah Burton, the house’s creative director for more than a decade, who will now step down. And it was an emotional moment; As Burton took her bow, she was surrounded by the great and good of fashion on the runway. Cate Blanchett, Elle Fanning, Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful received welcome hugs, as did fashion critics Sarah Mower, Tim Blanks and Cathy Horyn.

Also in attendance were Naomi Campbell, Offset and French actor Isabelle Huppert, as well as Usher, who fans would be forgiven for missing due to his cut forehead and balaclava hood.

FKA Twigs gave a performance that Pugh said was “really fucking amazing” in front of her roommates, including Cher, Simone Ashley, Leslie Mann and her daughter Maude Apatow.
