However, tickets can still be bought in person for every day of Savage Beauty's run.

Martin Roth, Director of the V&A, said: “With just two months to go, we are seeing an unprecedented demand for Savage Beauty but we also wanted to reassure people that there are still tickets available. We are committed to providing access to as many as possible during its 20-week run and so pleased to now offer many more opportunities to see this magnificent show in London.”

Tickets have been bought by people from 57 different countries, with the highest demand outside of the UK coming from the US, followed by Ireland and Germany.
