Fashion Election: Who is the most stylish MP’s wife?

By Andrea Petrou on March 23rd, 2010

Politician’s wives are becoming nearly as famous as their other halves across the fashion world. The dowdy outfits donned by these supportive female figures have been binned and replaced by must-have wardrobe labels such as Erdem (a favourite of Sarah Brown) Calvin Klein (as worn by Michelle Obama) and even Marks and Spencer (who can forget Samantha Cameron’s polka dot dress).

And as they become more and more popular, the media world is alight with news of Samantha Cameron’s pregnancy, the fashion spotlight on these women becomes bigger.

Rarely a day goes by without some comment about Michelle Obama’s latest outfit hitting the news wires and Sarah Brown has thrown herself into the fashion world, becoming an iconic figure of many high profile events. She jointly opened London Fashion Week this year (we were there to see it and we have to admit her speech was inspiring) appeared at the Elle Style awards and also held a reception for the Cosmopolitan Women Of The Year at Downing Street.

However, as in any industry there’s always the quiet dark horse, and it’s no different here with Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg‘s wife Miriam Gonzalez staying out of the fashion spotlight.

However, although she may not be fashion forward Mrs Clegg knows exactly how to dress. She’s appeared alongside the MP on various occasions in stylish frocks, and even donned the braces look for one event, which we think is slightly daring but works incredibly well.

With four stylish women who all do a great job of promoting fashion and keeping in with political values we’re a little bit torn as to who to award the fashion crown to.

So once again we’ve decided to leave it to you. View the gallery below and then vote in the ballot box to tell us who you think is the most stylish. And if there’s anything else you want to say, tell us by leaving your comments in the box below.

Kate Moss returns to the catwalk in Alexander McQueen dress for UK Fashion For Relief

Although we’ve been enjoying the delights of London Fashion Week today, supermodels were working the catwalk from last night.

Just a few days after putting together her Fashion For Relief catwalk show in the US, Naomi Campbell teamed up with Prime Minister’s wife Sarah Brown to do the same in the UK and continue to raise funds for Haiti’s earthquake victims.

However it wasn’t the weird and wacky runway walkers, such as Ronnie Corbett and Piers Morgan, or the huge range of celebs including Kimberley Walsh and Alexandra Burke that caused the biggest splash last night, instead it was Kate Moss.

The supermodel who has not graced the catwalk for a good few years chose last night to take to the runway in a SS2010 Alexander McQueen frock, as a tribute to the late designer. It was later auctioned off for £100,000, which was bid by Kate’s close friend Sir Philip Green.

We were lucky enough to be invited to the opening of London Fashion Week this morning, where British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman asked for a minutes silence as a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen.

Mr Tillman said of the designer:”His impact was extraordinary and he will be sorely missed.”

The event was then officially opened by Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah Brown who commended the young designers who were shaping the future of UK fashion: “I am uplifted by their passion and fearless determination,” she said.

“Fashion has taken its place as one of the most dynamic parts of the creative economy.” she said.

Politician’s wives are fast becoming regulars on our fashion radars and we’ve regularly featured many an outfit worn by US first lady Michelle Obama and our own home grown Samantha Cameron.

However this time it’s Sarah Brown that’s popped her head over the fashion parapet.

The Prime Ministers wife has teamed up with Naomi Campbell to launch this year’s annual Fashion for Relief event, which will see a range of models and celebs strutting their stuff in designer outfits, which will then be auctioned off for charity.

This year, the event, which was launched by Sarah and Naomi, along with Erin O’Connor and Yasmin le Bon, and will take place on the 18th February, will raise money to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
