The second edition of Vogue World took place on September 14, 2023, this time in London. Everything you need to know about the event is here, along with the most beautiful looks from the stars of Vogue World 2023.
What is Vogue World?
Last year, Vogue World’s dazzling New York debut took over West 13th Street with a high-fashion parade that featured, in quick succession, an opening appearance from Serena Williams; 112 models strutting down the catwalk to Madonna’s “Vogue”; a balletic turn from Mikhail Baryshnikov; 80 marathon runners; a Lil Nas X performance supported by the Hadid sisters; eight Howard University majorettes; and a cameo from Oscar the Grouch. And after the entertainment wrapped up? Ticket holders joined Vogue editors and a bevy of A-listers for a street party – and street food – put on by some of the world’s leading fashion houses: cookies courtesy of Gucci; pastrami sandwiches from Michael Kors X Katz’s Deli; and baguettes by Fendi (what else?).
When and where did Vogue World: London take place?
This September, Vogue followed its Meatpacking District coup with a theatrical West End production encompassing the best of British culture and fashion. Creatively overseen by BAFTA- and Olivier-winning director Stephen Daldry, whose credits range from The Crown to Billy Elliot, the event kick-started London Fashion Week with a red carpet, dramatic performances, and – of course – a runway extravaganza at Theatre Royal Drury Lane showcasing the best of the autumn/winter 2023 collections.

Who were the event's special guests?
From Shakespeare to Stormzy, the evening paid tribute to British creatives in every form, with appearances from opera singers and supermodels, fashion designers and ballerinas – putting ticket holders in the room with couture-clad stars whose talents are globally renowned. Among the luminaries who supported Vogue’s takeover of the Grade I-listed building’s gilded surrounds? Everyone from Ian McKellen to Michaela Coel, Victoria Beckham to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
“I’m thrilled to be co-hosting the second edition of Vogue World in London,” says Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue and European Editorial Director, Vogue. “British Vogue has been championing fashion, culture, and the magical point where the two intersect for 107 years. Now, we’re bringing its pages to life with the help of industry-leading talents in order to support the full spectrum of the creative arts in London.
