Victoria Starmer’s dress

It’s this:

@Lentilweaver thank fuck, I was starting to think I was the only one.

Victoria Starmers looked lovely, I have no idea why certain posters think she needs to wear far more expensive clothing. It looked lovely, what's the issue?

According to the article I saw they own a house in Islington worth about a million quid, and a piece of land he bought in Surrey in 1996, which some people have valued at 10 million quid. He's got his PM salary. Can you link to the evidence you've seen on Starmer being a 'multi-multi millionaire'.

Yes, that one was cute.

I thought Victoria looked amazing - can imagine her becoming a bit of a style icon.

Very classy and understated, saw another photo recently where she had her hair up and was a bit more glam - she was absolutely beautiful.

Shallow observations, I know, but it is S&B!

I know this is S&B but why should it matter?

Neither woman is, was or ever will be the First Lady of the UK. We have enough of them in the royal family.
Do we remember how Mrs Major dressed? Or Mr Thatcher?

OK, Winston Churchill’s wife was a famous (American?) socialite and he was a megalomaniac. And Cherie Blair was notorious for all the wrong reasons.

I hope she plays her supportive wife role for a few more days and then fades into obscurity to get on with her own business.

I thought that they both looked lovely, the website that AM's dress came from is amazing.

I know this is S&B but why should it matter?

I don't think anyone on this thread says it matters. We are discussing dresses.

I also liked mrs Hunt’s shirt dress, anyone know where it’s from?

Victoria is extremely attractive and looked fabulous in the dress. Under £300 is a very reasonable price for an outfit for a day that includes meeting the King at Buckingham Palace and to be pictured on every front page as her husband takes the top job in the country. Re the land, which was a field at the bottom of his parents’ garden which they used as a donkey sanctuary, it was sold for £276k not £10m. We know this is a fact because it was on Starmer’s tax return.

KS went to Leeds though anyway. He then did a one year post graduate course at Oxford but that’s a bit different.

Sandro Paris, she's a bit short so the white wide bit sits lower on her.

Well, with our feet and canckles, it's more whether we can carry it off or not....😂😂😂

But that shop on a nurse's salary? Non!

Wow

Mooo, moo, mooo

So what? She stil works in the NHS
Maybe they don't pool their finances, as with many on MN

I think AS's dress made a visible statement. Sort of "I'm here, and I'm coming out of the background now".

Presumably you are saying this as a positive thing? That they went to Oxford from state schools?

Depends on situation of nurse and grade friend - all about context.

DO you like it? I thought it was a bit much, myself.

when I was a band 7 in the nhs I was earning 50k a year. I could definitely afford a £300 dress

How are they multi-millionaires? Genuine question as Keir Starmer’s previous career was public sector. I know he was very senior but even ad DPP probably around a £200k salary? As an occupational therapist she’d be on around £50k. So not a great household income living in London. How / where did they make millions?

If you RTFT - and I do appreciate it is very long - there's a lot of discussion of this. The Mail accused Starmer of owning land worth £7.7 million. It was a field he bought for his disabled mum to care for donkeys. It sold for less than a million. No-one has provided convincing evidence of his millions, but calling him a multi millionaire suits an agenda that all Labour politicians are hypocrites.

He's sixty and would have bought a terraced house in central London in the 1990s and paid off the mortgage by now. Ergo he has assets of well over a million quid, like me, like Jeremy Corbyn, like hundreds of thousands of Londoners aged over 50 in half decent jobs. (Obviously DPP is much more than a "half-decent job", but lots of people way below that level were able to buy houses in inner London in the nineties).

But that’s not what people mean when they call someone a “multi-millionaire”. For a start they’d need assets of more than 2 million. But even if the assets do reach that level, the expression is really a figurative one used to describe people who have liquid millions that they can spend freely.

She's wearing red, a British brand, owned and run by women. Great dress, great choice!
