James Middleton, younger brother of the Princess of Wales, seemed to do just that when he made recent headlines. He was present at the launch of the Longchamp FW25 ‘London Calling’ celebration in Soho. The 38-year-old entrepreneur crashed the glamorous party with one particularly special guest—one of his six dogs, which he has openly adored on social media. Middleton’s furry friend stole the show, wearing a dashing silk neckerchief from luxury designer brand Longchamp.
Set in a creative warehouse space in fashionable Soho, the event glittered with an artistic fusion of fashion, culture and spirit. Middleton dazzled in a pastel pink blazer and white shirt combo. Judging the overall look to perfection, he still accessorized beige trousers and dressy brown Chelsea boots. His fashion-forward outfit, combined with the show-stopping accessory draping his pup, focused the lens on his high-fashion look.
Middleton took selfies with the bright green telephone box as his background. The colorful backdrop presented a fun pop of color against his black-and-white ensemble. This decision really increased the photographic quality of the images in each feature. At the same time, it really got the fun spirit of the night. The image of a dapper Middleton with his equally well attired dog helped to nail down the fun yet serious nature of the event.
Beyond his sartorial choices, Middleton’s home life is a testament to the balance he’s struck between his profession and family obligations. He is married to Alizée Thevenet, pictured above with McKinsey. Together, they have an almost two-year-old son Inigo. The couple has been married for almost four years and often enjoys quality time in their country home in Berkshire, where they can nurture their family bond.
Middleton’s affection for his dogs—Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala and Isla—has garnered him the title of world’s best dog dad. He then followed that up with an even bolder move by introducing his cat at one of the most high-profile events of the year. This reveals his profound love for animals and his desire to establish happy relationships with them.
The Longchamp presentation was a red carpet in itself, with celebrities including Douglas Booth thanking the fashion house for such a special evening on his Instagram.

His attendance at these occasions illustrates the unique combination of fashion, family, and personal passions that define his lifestyle.
