Michael Kors is in London, baby! The new Regent Street flagship store for the luxury American fashion brand was the place to be yesterday, as the designer flew in to celebrate the location’s official opening with Suki Waterhouse.
The 33-year-old English actress is the new face of the brand, and to celebrate, she wore an oversized belted leather trench coat over her chocolate brown strapless dress. Her honey blonde hair was styled into a tousled shag, with neutral makeup allowing her outfit to shine.
Cocktails were flowing, canapes were circulating and musical stylings were kept strictly in the family, with Maddi Waterhouse, Suki’s sister, playing a DJ set.
Buzzier still was the afterparty at Claridge’s, a dinner and cocktail reception hosted by Kors and Waterhouse. Guests included Gemma Chan, Henry Golding, Rashida Jones, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Jourdan Dunn, Haley Bennett, Erin O’ Connor, Gene and Lennon Gallagher, Lady Amelia and Eliza Spencer and Raff Law.
The entire Waterhouse triumvirate was present, with sisters Suki, Maddi and Imogen laughing together and posing for photos.
The attendees were dressed to the nines in Michael Kors, with Amelia Dimoldenberg’s plunging black dress and opera gloves proving a standout look.
Classic black was the dominating colour of the night, in true Michael Kors fashion, but Gemma Chan stood out with her co-ordinated tan and umber coloured T-shirt and skirt.
Suki Waterhouse has been an ambassador for Michael Kors since February 2025. A Hammersmith girl through and through, her addition to the Michael Kors family marks a new era for the brand’s presence in London.
It chimes in perfectly with the opening of the new Michael Kors flagship store on 187-191 Regent Street. It spans two floors and includes women’s ready-to-wear, handbags, small leather goods, footwear and men’s accessories.
Michael Kors is known for its jet-setting legacy. Before the London event, Waterhouse featured in an Ibiza-set campaign for the brand, highlighting the island’s new luxury reputation. “Ibiza has got many layers — just like Suki has many layers,” Kors told Vogue at the time.
“We’re talking about an island that has everything from wellness to partying, heritage to modernity. It’s international. The nature is gorgeous. We’re finding it really interesting to take our followers and our customers to a destination and let them immerse themselves,” he added.
