Some of the world’s biggest stars have descended in London for a memorial service for the late Dame Vivienne Westwood.
The trailblazing fashion designer died on December 29 last year at the age of 81, leading to an outpouring of grief from those she had inspired over her incredible career.
Now some of those who were inspired by her work have begun arriving at Southwark Cathedral to remember and celebrate her life.
Among the A-listers in attendance is fashion icon Victoria Beckham, who paid tribute to the designer with her classic outfit, a skin-tight black dress with high neck and long sleeves, looking sleek as she arrived for the service.
Supermodel Kate Moss was joined by her daughter Lila for the sad occasion, with Kate donning a caftan-style dress and blazer, and Lila notably carrying a red Westwood bag.
British musician Stormzy showed his respects as he joined the memorial service in a sharp black suit and polished shoes, paired with a silver watch, brooch and dark glasses.

TV presenter Jonathan Ross showed up in a long dark coat and trousers, calve-high sneakers and wearing a bright blue jumper bearing a skull and crossbones with the words ‘no future’ written across it.
He looked sombre as he joined the crowd outside the cathedral, wearing a park of dark glasses across his eyes.
Many of those in attendance were clearly paying tribute to the late designer, with plenty of tartan and colour on display among the mourners.
Some had come from afar to pay their respects, with US actress Elle Fanning arriving in an all-black ensemble including a pillar-box hat, having collaborated with Dame Vivienne on multiple occasions.
Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie, musician Will Young and British Vogue editor Edward Enniful were also spotted amongst the crowd.

Dame Vivienne was a world-renowned fashion designer, and worked with some of the biggest celebrities in the world throughout her decorated career.
Celebrities who have commissioned Dame Vivienne’s work over the years include Dita Von Teese, who wore a purple gown from the designer when she married Marilyn Manson in 2005, and the various dresses Princess Beatrice wore during Prince William and Kate’s Royal wedding weekend in 2011.
The designer’s representatives confirmed in December that the icon had died ‘peacefully’ surrounded by her family in Clapham, South London.
