Afrobeats Meets Fashion: Wizkid and BurnaBoy Shine at Burberry’s S/S24 London Show

London, UK – The glittering event of Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2024 Collection catwalk show was given an afrobeats flavor this week as mega stars Wizkid and BurnaBoy attended, capturing attention and turning heads. The British luxury fashion house, known for its iconic trench coats and pioneering designs, showcased its latest collection amidst a star-studded crowd. Yet, even in such a dazzling atmosphere, the presence of these afrobeats legends stood out.

It was an especially poignant appearance for Wizkid, marking only his second public outing since the tragic loss of his mother on August 18, 2023, in London. The emotion was palpable, and the solidarity and support from fans and colleagues were evident. The music star seemed to be finding strength amidst the community and the beauty of the event.

BurnaBoy, with his unmistakable charisma, also brought a unique energy to the venue. His love for fashion, which is evident in his bold style choices, resonated well with the Burberry brand, making his presence at the event both fitting and thrilling for attendees.
