Keely Hodgkinson swaps the track for the catwalk at London Fashion Week

Following Keely’s incredible 800m win at the Paris Olympics, where she became just the third British woman to win the event, the 22-year-old has been resting after picking up a “small injury”.

The former Leigh Harrier does not have any more scheduled races for the rest of the year, and was one of the big names seen at Burberry’s spring/summer 2025 launch at London Fashion Week.

With the fashion week taking place from Friday, September 13 to Tuesday, September 17, Burberry’s is the biggest event on the London Fashion Week calendar.

The British heritage brand is known for its diverse range of famous fans, cultivating relationships across sport, fashion, music, and film.

Stars descended on London’s South Bank to watch the show inside the Brutalist halls of the National Theatre, all suitably dressed in head-to-toe Burberry.

This included Atherton’s own Keely, who swapped her running cleats for statement red leather boots to attend the Burberry show.

She paired the boots with an asymmetric dress in the label’s signature check pattern, worn with a yellow jacket over the top.

Hodgkinson was joined by fellow Olympian Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who won silver in the heptathlon in Paris. 

Other stars at the show included former footballer Rio Ferdinand, England and Crystal Palace footballer Marc Guehi, former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall, Tob Boy actor Michael Ward, and models Georgia May Jagger and Poppy Delevigne.
