Every now and again a dress comes along that nearly breaks the internet and Carrie Symonds' gorgeous Ghost dress is one such outfit. The girlfriend of Britain's new Prime Minister Boris Johnson wore the pretty Luella Dress on Wednesday as she supported her partner in Downing Street as he became PM. The second photos dropped of Carrie in her summery midi dress, fashion fans flocked to the Ghost website to copy her look, with a lucky few bagging themselves the exact £120 frock. When we checked the site on Thursday morning, the dress was completely out of stock. It was had also sold out on John Lewis' and Selfridges' websites. Wow.
A spokesperson for Ghost told HELLO!: "The Luella dress is a Ghost bestseller and is re-worked each season in different prints / colour-ways. The style that Carrie wore was in fact their consistent best-selling dress for two weeks (since it went live), and so it was almost sold out even before she wore it. The dress won’t be re-stocked in that exact colourway, but in new colours for AW19."

Like the Luella, it's also priced £120.
