Theresa May dons her lucky Vivienne Westwood tartan trouser suit for her big Brexit speech
It was the same outfit she chose to launch her Tory leadership bid in June – a day which saw her two rivals Boris Johnson and Michael Gove implode
THERESA MAY wore her lucky Vivienne Westwood tartan trouser suit for her big Brexit speech today.
It marked the third time in the past year the PM has picked the £1,190 ‘go to’ outfit for a crunch appearance.
She donned the Black Watch Tartan two-piece to launch her Tory party leadership bid last June – a day which saw her two big rivals Boris Johnson and Michael Gove implode.
And she also picked the ‘Anglomania’ outfit in April last year during her one high profile intervention for the Remain campaign in the run-up to the Referendum.
The trouser suit has been doing the rounds since 2013, when as Home Secretary Mrs May turned heads at the Tory Party Conference in Manchester.
Just one month before, it was worn by supermodel Cara Delevingne at her 21st birthday party.
Earlier this year Ms Westwood said: “Do I mind if Theresa May wears my clothes? No, but I certainly don’t admire her for anything.
“I think she’s awful.”
Theresa May is known for her love for designer clothes and British designers. For much of her career she was famed for her ‘leopard print kitten heels’.
Three months ago, she was dubbed the “Steel Lady” after wearing £215 black shoes with metal toe caps to deliver a blistering Brexit speech at the tory Party conference in Birmingham.
