Samantha Cameron steps out in M&S

Politician’s wives are fast becoming a popular topic of conversation in the fashion world as they move into the limelight.

We’ve analysed many a politician’s wife in the past from Michelle Obama to Cherie Blair and now we’ve turned our attention to Conservative leader David Cameron’s missus Samantha.

At the Tory Conference today, where her husband tackled the difficult issue of the national debt, his supportive wife stepped out in a £65 Marks & Spencer dress and Zara heels. This is a far cry from the £600 Erdem dress and £300 Jimmy Choo heels she wore to introduce her husband at the Labour Party Conference.

We love the polka dot style look of this outfit, which we think shows a solidarity to us women, who have depended on the high street in these current times.

But we want to know what you think. Do you like this look and do you see Mrs Cameron replacing Michelle Obama in the fashion stakes? Or do you think politician’s wives are still looking as dowdy as ever?

Apart from, of course, Nicholas Sarkozy’s wife Carla Bruni who looks stunning in everything she wears, but we have to remember she did have head start being top model.
