Bridgeton star, Simone Ashley, sets the mood for the 2026 summer in her recent collaboration with Burberry. 

The Burberry high summer 2026 campaign, which focuses on Britain’s open-air pool, draws on British lido culture.

The collection includes a mix of classic check swimwear and modern, minimalist styles. The classic Burberry black string bikini top with a matching waist wrap. For the second look, a bright red tank-style bikini top, tied with a striking yellow and red check underbust band. Layered over a coordinating bikini bottom, solid bright red with clean white stripes.

The accessories include tiny silver hoop earrings, wet-look hair, and a “Margate” raffia bag. 

Fans love this seasonal trend, and the Chief Creative Officer, Daniel Lee, stated the goal was to capture “a warm summer’s day spent in and around the water’s edge with friends.”

The campaign officially dropped on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Shot by photographer Ryan McGinley and featuring a campaign film directed by Francis Plummer. While the theme is British, filming took place in South Africa to capture the consistent “high summer” sun.

Simone was particularly excited about this campaign. “So excited to share my Burberry summer campaign!!! This was so much fun, in the South African sun,” she shared on her Instagram.

She stars alongside “The Hunger Games” actor, Tom Blyth, model Alva Claire, and a cast of professional synchronized swimmers to achieve this campaign.

Gigi Hadid stepped out in New York wearing a piece from her own label, Guest in Residence, in a look that felt in line with the easy, everyday style she’s known for.

The supermodel was on her way to a Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot, wearing a tomato-red cardigan from her cashmere line, offering a practical option for the city’s spring weather.

The cardigan, which was a part of the Guest in Residence Spring 2026 collection, came in a rich tomato-red shade. It featured slightly puffy sleeves with snug cuffs and hem. It had tortoiseshell buttons, worn partially unbuttoned at the bottom, revealing a hint of skin. She layered it over a cropped long-sleeve white top.

The model paired the bold knit with classic blue jeans in a vintage wash, held with a slim brown leather belt. Her accessories included a brown suede triangle tote and oversized sunglasses that complemented the outfit.

Hadid wore brown leather loafers from The Row, styled with white socks, matching them with her bag. Her hair, styled by Dimitri, was worn in a soft blowout with a slight C-shaped mid-length blunt cut with softly curved ends.

The outfit shows Gigi Hadid’s preference for comfort. Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar back in 2022, during the launch of her brand, the model said: “My goal in life is to look as chic or put together as possible while always being comfortable. I very rarely, even on red carpets, will wear things that I feel uncomfortable in throughout the event because I just feel like I can’t be myself as much when I’m thinking about what I’m wearing in that way.”
