Lady Victoria Starmer asserted her fashion philosophy at the Labour Party Conference with an oversized T-shirt featuring a bold bright blue logo.
Starmer wore a mocha T-shirt with wide-leg navy cotton trousers from independent slow fashion brand, BY ELLEVEN.
The NHS occupational health worker showed off her casual attire as she joined her husband, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, to speak to other guests at their hotel before the Prime Minister delivered his keynote speech to the Labour Party at the ACC Liverpool.
The Prime Minister's wife wore the “Stevie” T-shirt in the color “date” and the “Suzi” trousers in the color “midnight.” The burgundy and blue ensemble is considered the color combination of the season.
The England-based fashion brand uses organic cotton and makes all of its products in the UK. The company is owned by women and prioritizes “relaxed, modern, slow fashion, designed to be worn again and again,” according to its Instagram account.
This is not the first time Starmer has championed British fashion. When he arrived at Number 10 this summer after a historic Labour victory, all eyes were on his ME+EM dress.
The chic midi dress, which cost £275, was made in Britain and featured a politically astute shade of red. Her decision to put the spotlight on the contrast-stitched dress apparently increased traffic to the brand's website by 300%.
Earlier this month, Starmer made his London Fashion Week debut at Edeline Lee's SS25 show, wearing a polka dot ensemble loaned to him by the designer.
Canadian-British Lee studied at Central Saint Martins and worked at Alexander McQueen before launching her label in 2014. The designer uses fabrics that resist wrinkles “so that women can perform at a high level in clothes.”
The brand is also adored by Kate, Princess of Wales, who wore a teal Edeline Lee dress to present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design in 2022.
Stramer has continually made statements through fashion since her husband took office as prime minister in July, showcasing the importance of environmental sustainability, fair labor practices and minimal waste production through her brand choices.
With her refined style, she exemplifies how fashion can be both elegant and environmentally responsible.
