Last night at the Burberry autumn/winter 2026 London Fashion Week show, Kate Moss affirmed the enduring appeal of all-black dressing as she styled a satin black dress alongside a seasonal black trench coat from the British clothing brand.
As we move towards spring, the best trench coats begin to resurface as an essential wardrobe staple. Practical enough to protect you from the chill, yet lightweight enough to work on sunny spring days, this style of outerwear is a no-brainer.
Kate's all-black ensemble reminds us that a black trench coat isn't solely a practical choice, though, and they can elevate occasionwear seamlessly. Moss layered her Mid-Length Kensington trench over what appears to be a black satin slip dress.
In true Moss fashion, she styled the evening look with statement accessories, including long pendant earrings that were most likely from her own wardrobe and a double-chain silver necklace. For footwear, she chose black pointed stilettos for an elegant finishing touch.

Last night's Burberry show had a star-studded front row, with attendees including Kate Moss' daughter Lila Moss, alongside the likes of Alexa Chung and Patsy Kensit.
Our Digital Fashion Editor Rivkie Baum was excited by what's to come, too: "Dark and moody, we haven't even begun spring, and I've already got one eye on cool-weather clothing again. With rich hues of navy, burgundy and black, there was lashings of leather, elegant velvets and sumptuous silks for a delightfully tactile edit. Faux furs were big news too, but that doesn't mean the brand's classic trench was overlooked. Seeing its own reinvention, thanks to a ruffled neckline and patent leather fabrication, the classic outerwear piece got given a dressier feel. Very modern, without compromising on the brand's distinctly London look and feel."
