Victoria Starmer’s dress

[Fe2O3Girl]

It’s this:

Can you imagine if she turned up in a blue dress on the day her husband was elected?

The media would have a field day.

I thought AM dress was possibly a nod to Labour getting in for 5 years then Tories making as come back 🤣

She probably had it gifted

I don't remember the people speculating on Theresa Mays husband clothes or how well dressed he looked... and that's because the way a PM husband looks or dresses doesn't matter or is not important. When the PM spouse is a woman the way she dresses and looks is all that matters, she will be scrutinised by the press and the people constantly. The patriarchy really did a number on us.

Displaying loyalty by the colour of your clothes is hardly “a silly trend”!

there is absolutely no way someone in that position would accept a gift.

I think you’re confusing her with an influencer

But it's not just a 'what do we think of the dresses' thread tho is it? Within a few posts it's about whether it's more or less than she should be wearing based on her or her husband's assumed wealth. Sticking it in S&B doesn't change that some people here are furious about a Labour government, don't like the PM and by default anyone associated with them.

There were two women supporting their husbands yesterday. They aren't the story. What their husbands did/do with the power they have been given is the issue. Comment on the dresses all you like but all this 'Lady Starmer' bollocks is ridiculous. She's not an aristocrat.

Lady Victoria is her title according to the Official Rules. But it's a bollocks rule that the wife of a knight gets a title but the husband of a dame doesn't.

Is that the same land he bought his mum so she could keep donkeys from a donkey sanctuary there?

what an utter bastard he was doing that.🤔priced out all the locals.

They did. Some news papers made a point of stating where his tie etc was from.

hmmm I’m not sure it’s that simple. If the pm’s husband was dressed in scruffy dirty clothes, or a bright red (/other party colour) suit, that would get commented on. The reason men’s clothes get commented on less is largely because they’re generally dull and uniform. However, Jeremy corbyn’s and Boris Johnson’s clothes and appearances were discussed at great length on the media and by the public.

it’s an interesting question how and why women in our culture are the ones who society expects to dress up and wear make-up and be colourful, while men are. expected to stick to a narrower range of looks (at least in formal wear). In some countries women aren’t allowed to do that and that’s also seen as the patriarchy oppressing them. (which I agree it is… )

I also don’t think having your clothes discussed - whether you’re Boris, Jeremy, Theresa or Victoria - means nothing else matters and you can’t be discussed or judged on other topics.

Unlikely that someone who is doing civil liberties work in Camden is specialising in corporate clients.

I find it very odd that people are trying to portray the Stammers as loaded having just come out of years of genuinely rich PMs like Sunak, Boris Johnson & Cameron!

As others have said, their lifestyle is pretty normal financially for professionals Londoners, most of whom happen to have million pound houses but do not have millionaire lifestyles.

I don't recall a single news piece on it, Starmers wife is "First Lady" since yesterday and she's been turned into the medias favourite new flower pot already because she's wearing some silly red dress.

They made a point of it when she first got the job.

i think they got bored of it pretty quickly though.

Lady Victoria is her title according to the Official Rules.

She's Lady Victoria Starmer or Lady Starmer. Not Lady Victoria.

She looked lovely, didn’t she? Really warm, smiling eyes.

What a stud 😅

I agree with that. its got to be a tricky position to be in.

Truth is they're both a good looking couple. I bumped into Starmer (and his body guards!) last week while shopping in Covent Garden and he is handsome but was much shorter than I thought ha ha

Another one from a few years later

there are lots out there. Granted not as many as the wives of pms - but women’s fashion is so much more varied and interesting?

I hate that we encourage education , hard work and ambition and then criticise people when it brings them wealth. Are we genuinely saying anyone who has a high earning capacity should give it all away?
I totally appreciate many people study and work hard and don’t end up wealthy but some do and always will. Of course there is often a massive dollop of privilege that allows some to get in that bracket when others don’t but surely becoming a labour politician suggests he is keen to address this?

It’s worth about 2.8m today.

Both women looked good - slightly prefer the chevronny one - but mostly as the red wouldn’t suit me. I’m afraid I like Carrie’s style too..

Hmm. Really wasn’t sure about that one. Mrs. Sunak (can’t remember the name she goes by 🥴) is tiny with delicate features and I think it absolutely swamped her.

Not that it matters, of course.

I know, that’s exactly what I said @Stowickthevast . I was explaining to the pp what “City” meant, and why Hodge Jones & Allen never was and never will be a City firm.

They do have assets of at least £2m. The difference between their original mortgage (presumably paid off) and the current value of their house is over £2m.
