For the year 2023, Akshata Murty, Rishi Sunak's wife, has been named one of Britain's best-dressed individuals.
Along with Love Actually star Bill Nighy and Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the 43-year-old businesswoman and designer topped Tatler magazine's list of the best dressed.
Murty, who is the little girl of Indian tycoon and organizer behind Infosys NR Narayana Murthy, stood out as truly newsworthy this year when she ventured out in £570 shoes from JW Anderson for the school run. She likewise became known for her "calm extravagance" style, otherwise called "covertness riches", having been seen in Gucci mentors that cost £445 and a cowhide skirt worth more than £1,000.
However, Murty has since switched her extravagant wardrobe for more accessible brands, many of which are British, after she and Sunak received some criticism for wearing designer labels (the prime minister was mocked for wearing a suit that cost £3,500 and £490 Prada shoes to campaign in Teesside in July).
She stepped out in clothes from Joseph, Strethberry, Me+Em, and Chinti & Parker, most of which cost less than $1,500, in May while the couple attended the G7 summit in Japan.
Tatler's style editor, Chandler Tregaskes, stated: The sought after number one spot in Tatler's best dressed list has a place with the chatelaine of Bringing down Road, Akshata Murty.
"Her surge of 'It' outfits would have kept Jackie Kennedy honest. Mrs. Sunak is a shining example of diplomatically debauched modern dressing that steals the show, despite the fact that she does not wear pillbox hats or layers of pearls like she did in the past.
Murty went to the Style Organization of Plan and Marketing in Los Angeles and later sent off her own design name, Akshata Plans.
She has greeted prominent people in a variety of elegant outfits since her husband became prime minister last year, including a purple flower-patterned dress to attend the annual party of news publishers Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch in June.
For the crowning ordinance function of Lord Charles III in May, she wore a light blue weaved dress with a dark fascinator. A blue-and-white dress with mosaic-like patterns to welcome US first lady Jill Biden, who was dressed in solid pink, was another memorable outfit.
Murty also appeared on Tatler's Social Power Index for 2023, where King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and Sunak topped the list.
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley, opera singer Danielle de Niese, and the former chief executive of the Serpentine Galleries, Yana Peel, are also on the magazine's fashion list.
The late Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, fashion designer Stella McCartney, and pop stars Harry Styles and Dua Lipa have previously been mentioned on the list.
