Keir Starmer’s wife Victoria’s surprising fashion: Labour red dresses, glittering gowns, more

When Lady Starmer entered No. 10 Downing Street in this tomato-toned ME+EM number, she officially entered her era as one of Downing Street’s best dressed ladies. 

The brand’s failsafe Contrast Stitch Midi Dress, looked stunning on Victoria’s feminine frame. With a statement stitch running across the waist, sleeves and skirt, subtly sculpting her silhouette for an effortlessly flattering finish.

Forget politics, Lady Starmer won the General Election by a sartorial landslide when she stepped out beside her husband in a vibrant ‘Jazz’ cotton-blend midi shirt dress from SIMKHAI. 

Victoria wore the cotton-blend dress, tailored with a nipped-in waist and a voluminous A-line midi skirt, to cast their votes at a polling station on 4 July 2024.

King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted a State Banquet for Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako and Keir and Victoria made quite the stylish couple as they made their way to Buckingham Palace.

Victoria’s ethereal dress was by Needle & Thread, and was known as the ‘Heart Lattice Ankle Gown’. 

When King Charles sends you an invitation, you know you must dress for the occasion. 

The task was no match for Lady Starmer at the State Banquet at Buckingham Palace to host  Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in November last year – dressed in a slinky black velvet gown, the Prime Minister’s wife looked breathtaking as she graced the palace. 

The Prime Minister can always rely on his wife to be his cheerleader as she dresses in her political palette of ruby hues. 

At the Labour Party conference in October 2023, Victoria was a lady in red wearing the ‘Dada’ dress from Edeline Lee. With flutter sleeves, a belted waistline and soft ruffle-hem skirt, Victoria oozed feminine energy. 

Lady Starmer oozed Bond-girl energy at The Sun‘s ‘Who Cares Wins’ gala in 2023, opting for timeless glamour in a black halterneck dress.

When Sir Keir and Victoria arrived for a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in November 2022, all eyes were drawn to Victoria’s blossom-pink slip dress which boasted a serious regal energy. 

Lady Starmer swept her brunette tresses into a sophisticated bun for the occasion, adding diamond chandelier earrings and carrying a cream clutch. 

The Prime Minister’s wife eschewed her signature ‘Labour red’ colour palette at the Pride of Britain Awards, instead opting for a silky satin jumpsuit which highlighted her feminine frame. 

With a belted waist, bishop’s sleeves and a button-down blouse, Victoria was a monochrome maven in the streamlined piece.

Victoria joined her husband in the Royal Box at the Wimbledon Championships in 2022, standing out amongst a crowd of tennis whites in a beautiful bold shift dress in a vibrant sunset coral hue. 

She teamed her sleeveless number with oversized black sunglasses and an electric orange manicure. 

Victoria had prime seats behind the Princess of Wales at the late Queen’s Platinum Pageant, sharing the same view as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. 

The glamorous mother-of-two looked smart and sophisticated in a cream bouclé blazer layered over a coral-hued blouse.
