The wife of the prime minister frequently wears Reiss, Me+Em, and Karen Millen to look polished and put together.
All eyes have been on political figures this week as Donald Trump made a high-profile visit to the UK, where he was greeted by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his wife, Lady Victoria. For the occasion, Lady Victoria opted for a navy blue frock – and we believe we’ve found an exact match for her outfit.
While Victoria Starmer isn’t frequently papped, when she is, she often looks polished and put together. For previous engagements, we’ve seen her sport a Me+Em contrast stitch dress the day her husband was elected Prime Minister, and a floral Karen Millen number donned to meet the French president and his wife.
But to meet USA’s President Donald Trump, she opted for a much simpler design. And while the exact label hasn’t been confirmed, I believe the dress to be the Casey Draped Jersey Midi Dress by Reiss.

For the colder weather, Victoria’s ensemble features long sleeves and a high neckline, with soft asymmetric gathered draping to flatter the midriff. Given that Victoria has previously worn Reiss, it would make sense for her to go back to a well-known name.
Originally priced at £158, the dress is now available at £52 in blue, but sizes do seem to be selling quickly. The same style also comes in camel, currently reduced to £42, with wider availability, making for a standout autumn pick that can be dressed up or down.

If shoppers can’t find their size, or aren’t a fan of a high neck, Boden has this Imogen Collared Jersey Dress for £89. As well as coming in sizes four to 22, it’s also available in three lengths, complete in a fit and flair design with a detachable waist-cinching belt.
Jersey fabric can sometimes divide opinion when it comes to formal occasions. While undeniably comfortable, it doesn’t always look as smart as other fabrics, occasionally giving a more relaxed or casual appearance. However, Next has proved it can be done exceptionally well with this Navy Blue Cape Maxi Dress. Priced at £72, the elegant design has stunning cape sleeve detailing, a keyhole opening at the back and a split side hem, perfect for showing off a pair of strappy heels.
I mentioned Lady Vic’s Me+Em dress earlier, which she wore to enter 10 Downing Street for the first time as the PM’s wife. Victoria regularly opts for Labour red in her style picks, having also been seen in a £445 cotton-blend poplin dress by JONATHAN SIMKHAI and a maxi ‘Echo’ dress by one of her favourite designers, Edeline Lee for a Labour party conference.
Interestingly, Victoria chose to wear navy instead of blue, perhaps in a way that was acceptable to King Charles and Queen Camilla. The PM’s wife chose the neutral tone for a previous French state visit because she also wore navy.
