For those of you who bear sad witness to the billboards at the flagship Burberry store in Knightsbridge changing from the beautiful ‘it’ fashion couple of the season, Eddie Redmayne and Cara Delevigne to the, not so well-known but equally beautiful Roo Paynes and Gabriella Wilde, here is a little treat for you as we got a sneak peek into Burberry’s cocktail celebration to mark the end of the men’s London Collections. If you’ve been pining for Eddie’s face to return to brighten up your walk to work (as I have) then look no further, as we managed to get a few cheeky snaps of the gorgeous young actor enjoying a cocktail or two.

On Sunday night, creative Director of Burberry, Christopher Bailey and Burberry ad campaign star and actor, Eddie Redmayne co-hosted a lavish cocktail event at the Knightsbridge Burberry store to celebrate Burberry as part of the first London Collections: Men.
