Jodie Turner-Smith joined Katherine Waterston at the New York premiere of ‘The Agency,’ held at The Museum of Modern Art on Thursday, and brought Burberry blue back into the spotlight with authority.
If you cast your mind back to the 2023 Met Gala, you’ll remember Daniel Lee’s Burberry debut, where eight celebrities were dressed in the house’s signature shade of ‘Knight Blue.’ From that point, it seemed inevitable that this hue would dominate the red carpet. Yet, it quietly disappeared—until now.
Jodie reignited the colour’s potential with a custom gown made from tactile devoré-chiffon adorned with delicate floral bouquets. And let’s be honest—it’s a much stronger showing than Mary J. Blige’s look from that same Met Gala. That particular dress felt contrived, overthought, and unflattering.
Jodie’s gown, on the other hand, was supremely effortless. She let the look simply flow, and the absence of any nude illusion elements was another win—this look felt intentional and elegant without veering into gimmickry.
The styling was equally spot-on. Her quartet of Bantu knots added an edge without taking away from the gown’s romantic softness, and her choice of David Webb jewels complemented rather than overwhelmed, as Jodie continued to take the less-is-more approach to styling.
Burberry blue is officially back.
