While we aren’t always necessarily excited for summer here in the UAE and GCC, given the sweltering heat, the impending European summer is a whole different story.<\/p>\n

And while the GRAZIA team weren’t necessarily thinking about summer today, Burberry then dropped its High Summer 2026 campaign, and now it’s all we can think about.<\/p>\n

Shot at a sun-drenched lido (an open-air swimming pool) by photographer Ryan McGinley, the film and images capture that perfect, fleeting feeling of a long British summer afternoon.<\/p>\n

Leading the campaign is Simone Ashley, starring alongside Tom Blyth and models Alva Claire, Babacar N’Doye and Sacha Quenby.<\/p>\n

The Bridgerton<\/em> star takes centre stage, draped in Burberry’s iconic check bikini that is giving our ultimate summer moodboard.<\/p>\n

The collection itself is just as dreamy. Cotton voile separates, ruffled cover-up dresses, deckchair-stripe weaves and the most covetable Margate raffia bag we’ve ever seen. In typical British and European summer fashion, lightweight hooded jackets are a part of the collection for cooler evenings.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it’s poolside dressing done with that particular Burberry precision that makes everything feel effortless without ever actually being effortless.<\/p>\n

As Burberry’s Chief Creative Officer, Daniel Lee describes, he wanted to capture “a warm summer’s day spent in and around the water with friends” \u2013 and he has absolutely done that.<\/p>\n

Now, if someone could just fast-forward to July in London, that would be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31739,"featured_media":70051,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"\nSimone Ashley Stars In Burberry's High Summer 2026
