On Monday, Parliament held a debate on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill that lasted into the small hours of the morning.

On Tuesday, Theresa May welcomed Chance to Shine to Downing Street to play cricket! The PM was presented with her own personalised jersey- and wore a navy and sky blue coat and trousers by Amanda Wakeley, oversized pearls and the leopard Frame flats from Russell & Bromley.




On Wednesday, May returned to the Commons for Prime Minister's Questions. In a strong despatch box performance, the PM wore a navy tweed jacket by DvF, navy skirt with exposed zipper by Rouland Mouret and a pair of leopard kitten heels from LK Bennett.

And to end the week, Theresa May attended the Battle of Britain service at Westminster Abbey, wearing her Paule Ka grey boucle skirt suit, black hat by Liz Felix, black Twiggy kitten heels from Russell & Bromley and a black clutch from Anya Hindmarch.

Theresa May A-Z: D is for DvF

4.5.17


Adding a bit of glamour to the dispatch box, Theresa May headed across the pond for an eye-catching tweed jacket from DvF. Fringed sleeves, sparkly thread and an exceptional cut, this boxy jacket is an alternative and affordable take on the Chanel style tweed which many fashionistas aspire to own.

Wearing it to the weekly Prime Minister’s Questions session, one MP said to me that she could see it sparkling across the Commons Chamber, and immediately went online to see where she could buy one for herself.

May often wears this DvF jacket with one of her daring back zip detail navy shift dresses, accessorizing with a string of oversized pearls and the Vivacious block heels from Russell & Bromley. She also wore this outfit to welcome the President of Columbia on his State Visit to the UK in 2016. It’s one of her favourite jackets- and one of ours.

Whilst this particular jacket is no longer available, DvF has a variety of other ladylike jackets. Perfect for the PM and also for you, here is another of our favourites…




Come back tomorrow for the E is for... reveal! For further A-Z entries and Theresa May posts click here.

On Monday, Theresa May welcomed Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu at Downing Street. The two leaders held a bilateral meeting which you can read more about here. For the meeting, the Prime Minister wore an Aztec print dress from Amanda Wakeley and a navy two fabric blazer. She wore the Saucy heels from Russell & Bromley.



In the evening, Theresa May hosted her first Black and White Party as Conservative Leader. Held in Battersea, the evening was cut short for many attendees due to the ongoing Brexit bill votes in the House of Commons. For the event, the Prime Minister wore an elegant black tailored dinner trousers suit, lace cami and an oversized black and white plastic chain necklace. I have it on good authority that she was wearing black block heels (although sadly, no photos.)


On Wednesday, May took part in PMQs. She wore a navy tweed jacket from DvF, navy skirt and the Vivacious pumps from Russell & Bromley. She was also back in the House in the evening for the final Brexit bill votes.

On Friday, Theresa May was in her Maidenhead constituency. Here she met with constituents- and returned to her navy and white staple suit outfit. I have it on good authority that she wore the black patent over the knee boots from Stuart Weitzman.
