In January 2025, Charlotte Tilbury unveiled its largest (4,450 sqft) global flagship in Covent Garden, London, a bold evolution of the brand’s signature glamour and artistry. The 4,450 sqft “Beauty Wonderland” represents the culmination of over eight years of creative partnership between Charlotte Tilbury and Zebra, following the successful delivery of 22 international stores from Shanghai to Miami.



Located at 1 St. James Street, within a listed building in the heart of Covent Garden, the store occupies both the ground floor and basement, blending the area’s historic charm with the brand’s signature opulence. The design captures the theatrical spirit and luxurious energy synonymous with Charlotte Tilbury, reimagining retail as an immersive experience that invites discovery, play, and transformation.



The ground floor forms the vibrant heart of the Beauty Wonderland, anchored by the iconic Pillow Talk Bar; an interactive space where customers can explore and experiment with the brand’s products. Downstairs, the atmosphere shifts to serenity and self-care. The basement is dedicated to skincare and personalised services, featuring a tranquil spa with treatment rooms in soft silver and nude tones. This marks the world’s first Charlotte Tilbury skincare spa, offering an exclusive setting for facials, consultations, and bespoke beauty rituals.



Zebra worked closely with Charlotte Tilbury, developing a full detailed design and construction package, and overseeing implementation through to completion. Every material and finish was meticulously selected to align with the brand’s aesthetic and enduring quality, from mirrored surfaces and blush-nude palettes to rich rose gold and night crimson accents. Art Deco influences and cinematic lighting infuse the space with the glamour of old Hollywood while maintaining a contemporary sense of sophistication.



Charlotte Tilbury Covent Garden is more than a store - it’s an experience. By fusing architecture, beauty, and theatre, it sets a new benchmark for immersive retail design, redefining what it means to step into the world of Charlotte Tilbury.
