Myha'la and Marisa Abela's Pre-Burberry Show Ritual

Actresses Myha'la and Marisa Abela, recognized for their work in 'Industry,' provided an exclusive look into their pre-event rituals leading up to the Burberry Fall 2026 presentation. Their preparations, far from being mundane, were characterized by an enjoyable mix of gastronomic indulgence, musical selection, and their signature bond, highlighting their unique approach to fashion events.

Amidst a busy schedule that included press engagements for 'Industry' season 4 and the BAFTAs, Myha'la and Marisa Abela consistently maintained their close companionship throughout the weekend. The duo reunited prior to the Burberry show after a night out with their 'Industry' castmates at the BAFTAs. Marisa recounted to Vogue that upon checking into her room at The Twenty Two, she immediately joined Myha'la for a Japanese meal on North Audley Street, where they engaged in lively conversation.

Their shared preparation routine has evolved into a well-established practice for these long-standing friends, who have styled themselves together for premieres, social outings, and even Marisa's wedding. They have refined their process to a precise art. Marisa noted that she typically spends more time on her appearance, focusing on makeup, hair, and clothing. However, Myha'la's overall preparation ritual, which includes matcha, music, and creating videos and photos, tends to be longer. Consequently, when they get ready together, they either complement each other's pace or the process takes double the usual time.

When asked about their playlist for getting ready, Myha'la enthusiastically shared that they were particularly enjoying Robyn's music that day, playing "Show Me Love" from her 1995 album twice. She described the song as providing "incredible feel-good, hopeful vibes" to uplift them before venturing out into the rain.

It was evident that the combination of sushi and Robyn's music provided ample energy. After capturing photos on the pier, the two settled into their seats for the runway show, where they quickly identified their favorite designs. Marisa expressed admiration for a light fur coat adorned with "crazy" embellishments at the bottom, suggesting that Myha'la would look stunning in it. Myha'la, on the other hand, was captivated by the footwear. She remarked that designers have generally shied away from creating truly "sexy" shoes. She was particularly struck by the first shoe to appear on the runway: a very high, dusty pink pump with decorative hardware and a "slutty little Mary Jane-esque strap," which she found exhilarating.

This detailed account offers an intimate look into the camaraderie and shared experiences of Myha'la and Marisa Abela as they prepared for the Burberry show, showcasing their personal styles and the delightful moments that define their friendship.
