If further proof was needed that Gucci is currently one of fashion's most influential brands, it's the fact it managed to pull of one of the biggest style coups today - staging the first fashion show at Westminster Abbey.

It's been a big week for fashion this week - only days ago Dior held its Cruise show at Blenheim Palace, an event of extreme grandeur, but Gucci refused to be outshone today. Here's what went down:

Models walked along three sets of 30-metre cloisters of Westminster Abbey, which is pretty much a mini marathon. No mean feat considering the cobbles.

Stone pews were covered in needlepoint seat cushions embroidered with animal motifs, which guests could take home.

Jacquetta Wheeler closed the show, but the line-up also featured famed Brit model Erin O' Connor.

Trust Alessandro Michele to find such a creative, cool personality to take over its Snapchat. The French singer and actress, who is also known for dating Kristen Stewart, documented the show through pictures.

Gucci managed to get us all in berets over the past few seasons, but now its headwear of choice are turbans.
These looks could have come straight off her HRH's new Vanity Fair shoot - pleated midi-length, tartan skirts, worn with knit jumpers, headscarves and loafers. Whether the Queen reference was intentional or not, the collection was very celebratory of Britannia - from punks and Victoriana to smart schoolboys.
